Acolhimento Estudantil como Prática Escolar na EPT: uma busca pela permanência e superação da evasão

Abstract

The overall objective of this study was to analyze the actions taken by IFAC, Campus Cruzeiro do Sul, aimed at the process of welcoming, integration and development of institutional identity aiming at the feeling of belonging as a permanence strategy for students of integrated high school. The research is characterized as a case study with a qualitative approach. It had as stages the bibliographic research and documentary research, and as an instrument of data collection we used the semistructured questionnaire applied via Google forms. The subjects of the research were students of Integrated High School and employees of the IFAC Campus Cruzeiro do Sul. The results of the research showed that it is necessary to deepen the work regarding dropout, acting preventively, knowing the reality of the student, tracing his socioeconomic profile, promoting moments with the community, publicizing the courses offered, intensifying teaching actions, improving the infrastructure and, above all, continuing to expand permanence and success policies. It showed that there is a prevalence of institutional factors over individual and socioeconomic ones on student permanence, and all this institutional permanence work must start with the welcoming. It also showed that it is necessary to expand the actions of welcoming and integrating students so that there is a greater integration between the incoming student, the environment, his peers, his teachers and other servants, in short, the whole school community to develop the feeling of belonging and expand their chances of permanence. Thus, an Educational Product - EP was built, which is a Guidance Booklet for student welcome and an artifact Student Diary, based on the perceptions of students about the welcome, understanding that this should be incorporated by the institution as a school practice. Thus, it is possible to conclude that: the transition from Elementary School to Integrated High School is a process of rupture for the young student, where he will need to integrate to a new environment, with its own rules, organization, and will need to be very well received, especially in the first year to create bonds with the institution through the feeling of belonging.
