Insucesso escolar de alunos no 3º ciclo do ensino primário: caso da Escola Primária Completa de Chilembene 2015-2017, Distrito de Chókwè, Província de Gaza

Abstract

This monograph analyses the causes, factors and consequences of school failure and the academic performance of students in Basic Primary Education (EPB). Since school failure is a universal problem in educational institutions, it is necessary to find a formula to reduce it to levels that cease to be such a serious problem as it is today. Many pedagogical strategies have been used, but the focus has certainly been on making students responsible and encouraging their ability to study independently. In this regard, the study focuses particularly on the Chilembene Complete Primary School, Chókwè District, Gaza Province. It should be noted that analysing the causes of school failure is not an easy task, since it is a complex issue that involves a multidimensionality that assumes the different levels of education, requiring an in-depth analysis of the entire educational community and society itself as a system. In this sense, the aim is to offer some clues that enable the understanding of the phenomenon of academic failure in relation to school, using both family and school factors. However, the first step is to define the concept of academic failure and show the different perspectives of academic failure in an integrated way. The second step is to analyse the causes and consequences of academic failure, highlighting school factors and extra-school factors, specifically highlighting family factors (professional category of guardians, family education level, size of the household, means of residence, distance to school) and school factors (teachers' responses on the causes of academic failure, teacher profile and pedagogical relationship) and conditions existing in the school to minimise academic failure.
