Desafios e dificuldades na implementação da gestão democrática

Abstract

This work proposes a reflection from the perspective of parents, managers, students, teachers and employees about democracy, with the purpose of knowing the strategies and challenges for the implementation of democratic management in two municipal schools located in the urban zone in the municipality of Santana do Livramento in the year 2018. The methodology used was exploratory and had a qualitative approach, using as an instrument for the collection of data semi-structured interviews. This study specifically sought to analyze the understanding of democratic management of all members of the school community; understand what the actions developed by the schools to achieve the goal of democratization of the management expressed in law; identify the difficulties encountered to reach this goal and verify what contributions this management model has brought to improve the quality of teaching in each of the schools involved in the research. For the implementation of democratic management, it is necessary for the school to promote the participation and autonomy of the school community through the school council, the contribution to the construction of the school's pedagogical project, the evaluation of the school institution, the election of transparency of accounts. From the cut of the two school realities community participation is pointed out as the main obstacle to the achievement of democratic management in one of the schools, but also needs to be intensified in some aspects in the other institution. One school has already established some strategies to develop these aspects that involve democracy, the other has not yet established them.
