LEITE, Sérgio Antonio da Silva. From 4th to 5th grade: a project to avoid school failure. Cad. Pesqui. [online]. 1993, n.84, pp.31-42. ISSN 0100-1574.
High rates of school failure are observed in all levels of Brazilian public schools, but at two moments are highest: after the first grade (now, after the two grades of Ciclo Básico) and at the end of 5th grade; the latter, seemingly more serious and complex in urban peripheries, has received lesser attention by research and literature. This paper reports a project developed in a school district in the outskirts of the Great São Paulo, to assess the repertoire of 4th grade pupils, introduce revision programs, and suggest continuity procedures for the pedagogical work at 5th grade, discussing the intraschool problems met. Results obtained show relevant improvements in student achievement.
