OLIVEIRA, Jaqueline dos Santos. Some reflections on the use of the Quality Indicators in Early Childhood Education in a case study. Educ. Teoria Prática [online]. 2015, vol.25, n.50, pp.474-489. ISSN 1981-8106.  https://doi.org/10.2015/maio.ago.v25n50.474.

This article presents some results from a research carried out in the Education Master, which the goal is to characterize and analyze the Nursery Scholarship Program and the supply conditions in the municipal and private partnership educational institutions. It is an attempt to present a reflection / analysis on the use of the Quality Indicators in Early Childhood Education as a tool for a data collection in two institutions participating in the program and a municipal institution, pointing out their limits and possibilities. The methodological approach used for this study was qualitative, for finding a set of investigative tools suited to the analysis of the object being studied. For data collection were taken observations, interviews, document analysis and ratings by the means of indicators. The results indicate that the Quality Indicators in Early Childhood Education constitute an important tool for assessment and planning, however, it is observed as challenges: the use of the instrument itself, the mobilization of the school community, the time for rating, and the commitment and the collective effort for improving the quality of early childhood institutions.

Keywords : Early Childhood Education; Quality Indicators; Rating.
