Gestão democrática e condições de trabalho docente

Abstract

The democratic management has become a discussion subject in great social and educational environments. Part of what that discussion brings up the support that such management bears to the development of qualified teacher’s work. Therefore, the current final paper analyses the processes and democratic actions that give support to teachers’ work, as from managers and teachers contribution in a public school in the city of João Pessoa – PB. To ground this study, researchers that discuss this thematic in Brazil and worldwide were used as theoretic contribution, such as Paro, Heloísa Lück, Demerval Saviani, Acácia Küenzer, Araújo, Veiga, among others. The results of this research indicate that democratic management happens sporadically to the students, by means of reunions that are directed to themselves. Regarding the teachers, there are outstanding cases of democratic actions and the effective teachers’ participation, but there is not a continuity when the perspective is to support qualified teachers’ work, especially when the themes of discussion are daily work instruments.
