FULL-TIME EDUCATION: CHALLENGES AND POSSIBILITIES FOR THE TEACHING-LEARNING PROCESS

Abstract

Full-time education is a strategy to promote the integral development of students, increasing the time dedicated to the teaching-learning process and articulating academic, cultural and social knowledge. The general objective of this study is to analyze the challenges and possibilities of full-time education in the Brazilian educational context. The specific objectives include: identifying the main challenges faced in the implementation of this model, exploring effective pedagogical strategies and discussing the benefits and limitations in the integral development of students. The methodology adopted is bibliographic, based on academic works and public policies that address the subject. The results indicate that, despite the challenges related to infrastructure, teacher training and school management, full-time education offers significant possibilities for the construction of a more equitable and integrative education. Among the challenges, the need for continuous investment, community engagement and curricular adaptation to integrate interdisciplinary activities stand out. On the other hand, the possibilities include increasing student protagonism, strengthening socio-emotional skills and reducing educational inequalities. It is concluded that, with strategic planning and collaborative partnerships, the full-time education model can be a powerful tool for transforming Brazilian education, promoting quality learning and social equity.
