Abstract

This research presents an innovative practice of continuing formation, which shows a connection between the public school and higher education, the Program of Educational Development of Parana/ Brazil (PDE-PR) and its relation to the results of IDEB (Index of Basic Education Development) in public state schools of Curitiba. This research aims to analyse the relation between the teacher’s formation and the index of development/knowledge presented by their students in the large scale exam applied in Brazil, based on a qualitative approach through a comparison among some factor based on the number of schools which had participants in PDE-PR, established goals and results obtained in the IDEB of 2007 and 2009 by students of the 9th grade. The results showed that 18 of 61 schools which had participants did not reach the established goal, but 23 presented an increase in their grade, in spite of not achieving the objective. The analyses indicate the per passed routes are opposed to the effectiveness of democratic spaces in the schools. Thus, at the same they emphasize the appreciation of the teacher in the legal documents, establish the formative process as the only way to access the last level of the teaching career, emphasizing mainly work time, in the entrance exam to the program, and seeking to achieve the established goals to improve the public schools which substantiate in the IDEB‘s grade.
