Os meninos do projeto e a gestão escolar: uma análise reflexiva sobre as relações de poder em uma escola da rede estadual da Paraíba

Abstract

School management has become the object of analysis, academic and political discussion. Therefore, this course completion work aims to analyze the challenges to school management in the face of power relations established in ECIT D. José Maria Pires, in João Pessoa. To support this discussion, we dialogued with Weber (1971), Foucault (1979), Veiga (2001), Luck (2009), Paro (2010), among others, in the search for concepts such as power, school council and democratic management. Methodologically, the work took as its starting point the readings and experiences of the Supervised Internship in Educational Management, in 2018.1, with visits to the field school; participant observation; semi-structured interview and data systematization. The results of this study show power relations at different levels within the school, which are ignored or accepted without questioning, by students, teachers, employees and management. In view of the reflection on democratic management as an ethical and political principle, which organizes the school community in facing the problems, we understand that this work has to contribute towards promoting a critical look at the power relations instituted in the investigated school, with the deepening of the debate about the quality public school.
