WOULD SCHOOL EMPLOYEES BE NON-CRITICAL AND UNAWARE OF WHAT MAKES A STUDENT TO ENJOY SCHOOL?

Abstract

Understand school employees as educators is already a reality, however it is necessary knows more about how these citizens think schools and their work in them. Thereby, we asked employees from Public Schools in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, about which are the factors or elements that could make students enjoy their school. Hence, this research aimed to analyze and to interpret the 37 answers with the question “what make a student to enjoy your school?”. These led to a separation in eight distinct groups, in descending order: multi-factors answers, assistance or good treatment, teaching-learning, business or technical quality, structure concomitantly with teaching-learning, high school location (quality of the locality), students’ future, and the students themselves. We noticed that nearly one-third of employees consider several factors acting concurrently for students’ well-being, albeit under the influence of business ideas. Thereon, we concluded that these school employees are not out of problems (and hits) in schooling, being heterogeneous individuals, active and critical.
