RESUMO

The purpose of this research is to know the conceptions of educators about the Progressão Continuada - an educational policy recently implemented that restricted the practice of holding the pupils in the same grade more than one year. This educational policy was implanted in 1998 at the São Paulo public school system. It aims at dealing with the high rates of school failure. This research starts with a brief summary of the history of the organization of the school system in cycles in the State of São Paulo. Following, it presents the analysis of the three different perspectives of the Progressão Continuada : the official documents, the Union’s perspective and the educational literature. Based on the ethnographic perspective, the researcher followed a group of teachers in a state school. The fieldwork included: reflexive groups with teachers, and interviews with the pedagogic coordinator, school supervisor and teachers. The data analysis is focused on the process of implementation of the Progressão Continuada in the state schools of São Paulo and how, within it, some school practices occur, such as: repetition, promotion, evaluation, support groups, as well as those practices related to the teacher work. The research brought to light some consequences of the Progressão Continuada: a) the existence of practices of exclusion within the school, such exclusion affecting not only the students (which are automatically promoted) but also the teachers (which are kept apart from the discussion and planning of this proposal); b) the teaching resistance to this proposal (analysed from the political perspective); c) the teaching malaise experienced in this context and the maintenance of the prejudices that sweeps the schools affecting especially working class students.
