Clima escolar e participação docente: a percepção dos professores de diferentes ciclos de ensino

Abstract

Considerando que o clima organizacional é o palco onde o indivíduo coloca as suas projecções, os seus desejos e desempenha seu papel (Dejours, 1985) e que influencia directamente a satisfação e o rendimento dos membros de uma organização (Brunet, 1992), procurou-se com este estudo, conhecer a percepção dos professores acerca do clima da sua organização, tendo em conta várias dimensões: a relação entre os professores da escola e do agrupamento; a relação entre o agrupamento e a comunidade e a imagem dos professores relativamente aos alunos e ao conselho executivo. O estudo teve como finalidade caracterizar o clima de escola, com base no olhar dos docentes e, com base nesse olhar, identificar os pontos fortes e os pontos fracos da organização, com vista ao diagnóstico necessário e à compreensão da vida na escola, conducente a uma melhoria da qualidade de vida e da educação, na organização em causa. Para a concretização destes objectivos, efectuou-se um estudo de natureza quantitativa e descritiva, tendo sido elaborado um questionário, realizado intencionalmente para este estudo, para proceder à recolha de dados junto dos professores. Esta investigação incidiu em dois agrupamentos escolares num concelho do litoral norte do país, com características semi-urbanas. A análise dos dados, assim obtidos, indicou existir uma percepção positiva do clima de escola, em quase todos os aspectos considerados. Neste âmbito, concluiu-se que os professores têm uma imagem positiva da organização a que pertencem, considerando existir um bom clima relacional entre professores da escola, entre professores do agrupamento e entre o agrupamento e a comunidade. Com base na análise dos dados, verificamos também que os docentes possuem uma boa imagem dos alunos e do conselho executivo.

So, we may arrive to the conclusion that the teachers have a positive image of the organization they belong, considering the exhistance of a good relation climate among the school teachers, among group teachers and among the executive administration and the community. Based on the data analysis, we also realized that the teachers have a good image of the students and of the school executive administration.
