Schools also produce policies: the performance of the Educational Map in schools in Mossoró (RN)
Educational responsibility; teacher regulation; policy.
In the 1990s, educational responsibility was the object of ideological investment by multilateral organizations. Through conferences and production of materials, these organizations worked to instill new perspectives on educational responsibility, influencing the establishment of new demands on educational actors and teaching institutions. In this scenario, over the years, many policies were designed to regulate the work carried out by schools. In Mossoró, through Law nº 2717, of December 27, 2010, an Educational Responsibility Law (LRE), which establishes, as one of its mechanisms for regulating schools, the Educational Map. Therefore, in this research, we have as a general objective: to understand how three schools of the Municipal Education Network of Mossoró operate the Educational Map. Furthermore, we propose, as specific objectives: to understand how the research subjects resignify the Educational Map in different discursive productions; investigate how the Educational Map is produced in schools; and analyze the context of influence and production of the text of the Educational Responsibility Law that instituted the Educational Map in the municipality of Mossoró. It is, according to Bodgan and Biklen (1994) and Yin (2016), a qualitative research that resorts to procedures of a bibliographical, documental and empirical nature. Thus, we have as research locus three schools that make up the Municipal Education Network of Mossoró, where semi-structured interviews will be carried out with two teachers and a member of the management team of each of these educational institutions. In order to understand how schools act on the policies addressed to them, particularly the LRE, an analysis of the most recent Educational Map of each institution will be carried out. The analysis of the data produced will take place in dialogue with Ball (2004; 2014; 2018), Ball, Maguire and Braun (2016), Frangella (2009; 2020), Dias (2013; 2017) and Lopes (2013). As results, we hope to understand how the collaborating schools and their subjects are, at the time of the research, translating the Educational Map and the repercussions of this policy on the way teachers act and the way schools organize their curricula.
