Gestão democrática e aprendizagem organizacional na formação do conselho municipal de educação de Arara

Abstract

The prospect of a democratic management grounded in civil society participation in education, discussing and collaborating on the design, implementation and supervision of public education policy is a legal principle which is advocated in both the Federal Constitution of 1988, as the Law of Guidelines and bases of National Education Law No. 9394/96. In this sense, we try to address the democratic management from the City Board of Education, based on the analysis of the formation and the contribution of the Municipal Board of Education Arara - PB, understood as an instance of democratic management and how a learning organization, with responsibilities in the formulation and monitoring of public policies for a quality basic education. The theoretical framework is anchored in Dourado (2003), Cury (2000), Gadotti (2000), Monlevade (2005) and Bordignon (2009). The methodology follows the parameters of Gil (1996) and Vergara (2006), and consisted of documentary analysis in Municipal Education, the application of socio-demographic questionnaire and interview with all municipal councilors of municipal education Arara - PB. The data and information follows the parameters recommended by Bardin (1977) on the content analysis, translating information and data through systematic and objective procedures of description. From there, it became possible to know the profile of directors, its formation, the structure of functioning of the board, the weaknesses and difficulties that both the CME as counselors face as well as the rich organizational learning arising from the plurality that constitutes the CME with a view to contribute to the strengthening of this and other boards of education in order to make them more active. Therefore, it is concluded that both the municipality of Arara and Brazil, democratic management, reflected in the Municipal Councils of Education has presented numerous advances but also setbacks of a structural nature, politics and culture.
