Análise da influência das infra-estruturas físicas nas escolas no processo de ensino- aprendizagem: caso da Escola Primária Completa de Ndlavela na Província de Maputo

Abstract

The present research has as its theme Analysis of the influence of physical infrastructures in schools in the teaching-learning process: Case of the Primary School of Ndlavela in the Province of Maputo. The research arises due to a report that the researcher watched, this one that spoke the collapse of the roof of 7 classrooms made of wood and zinc in that school, which forced students to study outdoors, and classrooms were later improvised by tarps. Thus, the objectives of the study were to identify the factors that contribute to the degradation of these infrastructures, as well as the actions that have been implemented to improve them. To carry out the research, bibliographic and documentary research will be used for the literature review and the semi-structured interview and questionnaire for data collection in the field. The sample consisted of 19 employees of the EPC of Ndlavela, 2 of which occupy a position of management and leadership, 14 are teachers and 3 are non-teachers. The study carried out concludes that the physical structures, when well organized and conserved, have positively influenced the student performance, as well as the functioning of the teaching-learning process. At the specific case of the EPC of Ndlavela, the degradation of the physical infrastructures caused by the vandalism, lack of maintenance, natural aging and environmental actions, have influenced negatively the PEA. And to improve this situation, the institution seeks to maintain the infrastructures by themselves and involving the school community. However, the maintenance process has not been done periodically, which contributes to the increase in the degradation of these infrastructure combined with other advanced factors. Thus, it is necessary to seek to design and implement a periodic maintenance plan for physical infrastructure so that they can be in good condition and thus help to improve the teaching- learning at the Ndlavela EPC.
