Os compromissos da pedagogia inaciana no Colégio Catarinense: o papel da fidelização na busca por laços duradouros

Abstract

Currently, schools are committed to ensuring the permanence of their students in their establishments throughout their academic life and a latent concern lies in how to guarantee this loyalty. The objective of this article is to provide a brief history of Colegio Catarinense, its commitments to Ignatian pedagogy and to analyze its relationship with families with students in transition grades. From these objectives, reflections emerged such as: what is the possibility of families recommending the College, what values of Jesuit education stand out in educational practice, what is the opinion of families regarding care services, the provision of activities for the family and their participation in these activities, and also, understanding, from the parents' point of view, what are the most relevant reasons when choosing Colegio Catarinense. The research was quantitative in terms of data presentation and qualitative in terms of reflections, allowing us to understand how complex they were. It was conducted with an exploratory approach, through bibliographical research and surveys with families of Early Childhood Education students, level III, fifth year and ninth year of Elementary School, as they are the transition classes within this Educational Establishment. The investigation highlighted the importance of a satisfaction survey with families, to become possible to understand better their expectations and preferences, listening to their desires so that the Institution can adapt its strategies and services to meet the needs of families more effectively in order to act in a more assertive way in the loyalty of students and, consequently, in the establishment of lasting ties
