Análise das causas das reprovações na 10ª Classe: caso da Escola Secundária da Matola (2015- 2019)

Abstract

2.243 / 5.000 This research aims to deepen the understanding of the underlying reasons for failure in the 10th grade Class, focusing on Matola Secondary School. The core of the study consists of analyzing these causes, providing a critical perspective that serves as a basis for effective educational intervention strategies. The methodological approach adopted embraces both quantitative and qualitative methods, integrating detailed interviews with students and teachers, meticulous analysis of the academic performance and exhaustive review of pertinent school documents. It is worth noting that delimiting the scope of this research to one institution, although it provides important information, imposes a limitation on the generalization of the results to a broader context. In this context, it is essential to recognize that the uniqueness of Matola Secondary School can influence the specific dynamics associated with failures. The results achieved during the research reveal a predominant perception among students, pointing to difficult content as the primary factor for failures in 10th grade. This finding signals the urgent need for more accessible pedagogical approaches and teaching strategies that facilitate the understanding of complex topics, aligned with students' cognitive abilities. The discussion of these results highlights the importance of adapting teaching methods to meet students' needs, promoting more inclusive learning environments. Furthermore, the emphasis is on the relevance of improving educators' communication and didactic skills, aiming to improve the quality of the teaching and learning process. This study not only contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of student perceptions at Escola Secundária da Matola, but also plays a crucial role in formulating effective intervention strategies. However, it is recognized that future investigations, encompassing multiple schools, could provide a more holistic view of the causes of failure in Grade 10. This more comprehensive approach would allow for a more robust comparison between different educational contexts, thus enriching the body of knowledge in this area (TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
