Full-time education: A qualitative study on the opportunities and challenges for the educational process
Keywords
Abstract
The aim of this research was to analyze the challenges and opportunities of full-time education. The study was characterized as exploratory and qualitative, which was limited to fifteen teachers who work in a Brazilian school that adopts the full-time education method. After the application of in-depth interviews with the teachers, the data analysis revealed a promising educational model, although full of obstacles to be overcome. The reports of the fifteen teachers interviewed highlighted structural challenges, such as the lack of material resources and adequate infrastructure, which compromise not only the implementation of innovative pedagogical practices, but also the motivation of teachers and student engagement. On the other hand, promising opportunities were found, such as increased student motivation and engagement, the development of socio-emotional skills, and a more integrated view of knowledge. Given this scenario, it is imperative to invest in physical infrastructure, educational materials, technical support, and continuing education programs for teachers, in addition to promoting public policies that encourage a more inclusive and integrated approach to education. Thus, it becomes possible to enhance full-time education as an effective means of promoting the integral development of the individual and improving the quality of the educational system.
