Gestão democrática: promovendo ensaios de participação e autonomia

Abstract

The democratic management of education is not fully understood and incorporated into educational practice. Democratic practices are not massively incorporated into the social practices of our people, our society. We still have strong marks of authoritarianism in our social formation. This work is a brief bibliographical review in the field of education. Through the survey carried out on democratic management, we will try to analyze through Freire's education in Brazil. We adopt Historical-Dialectical Materialism as a theoretical methodological approach, or, in other words, the Marxist dialectic. Thus: The problem question of this article is the following: does the democratic inexperience of Brazilian society interfere with the effectiveness of democratic management in the school space? In order to try to answer it, we define our general objective: to discuss democratic management in light of the democratic inexperience of Brazilian society. The specific objectives are: to present the models of the General Theory of Administration in the school context; to study democratic management in Brazilian public education; to analyze the relation of the democratic inexperience of Brazilian society in the implementation of democratic management in the school space. The implementation and continuity of a democratic model of management in school is a challenge for its agents, because we live in a society that does not have many experiences with an effective democracy. Our society, in general, does not seem to know how to position itself in the face of injustice and impunity, does not clearly understand what is becoming representative, is permeated by democratic myths that obscure its vision of reality.
