The performance of the Scientific Education Centers (CECS) of Santos Dumont Institute (ISD) represents an example of participation in the comprehensive education process in partnership with public schools. In these programs, students from different grades from 6th to 9th grade of Elementary School II in the public school system participate in science education workshops outside of regular school hours. In this process, students are trained by their educators to use various equipment and materials to appropriate the resources of the arts and technologies necessary for the development of the production of scientific knowledge. They develop learning to collect, select, organize, interpret, question, inquire, manage, create, produce and use different types of data and information, used in scientific practice for the production of new knowledge.
Aware of differences like these, members of Territorial Committee for Comprehensive Education of Rio Grande do Norte are considering including the ISD in this group of experts that reflects on and develops public policies that promote comprehensive education in the state. This possibility was suggested after a meeting between the members of the RN Territorial Committee for Comprehensive Education, Giovanna Araújo, Pedagogical Advisor for the Full-Time Education Sector (SME), and Ideluzia Andrade, Pedagogical Advisor and Head of the Full-Time Education Sector (SME), with the board of directors of the CECs. The meeting was held on April 26, 2017, at the CEC Natal, where the teaching-learning process of the CECs was discussed and a visit to the seven workshops developed at the Unit was made.

Giovanna Araújo commented that the Territorial Committee for Comprehensive Education is very interested in learning about educational initiatives that work with different approaches. “Here, students are seen as human beings inserted in their own context and there are professionals thinking about the best way to interfere in this context, considering diversity, complexity, ancestry and other important issues as a backdrop,” explained Giovana Araújo.
The inclusion of ISD in the Committee will be discussed at 13th Expanded Meeting of the RN Territorial Committee for Comprehensive Education, which takes place on May 3, 2017, in Portalegra-RN. For the director of the CECs, Dora Montenegro, the invitation to join this Committee is important because the experience of the work carried out in the Science Education Centers can serve as a reference in expanding the learning spaces necessary for implementing full-time education.
