A construção do projeto político pedagógico na escola pública no contexto da gestão democrática

Abstract

Democratic management in school is determinative instrument of the improvement of the society and implies in autonomy and expressive participation of the school community. The democratization of the management intrinsically is related to the way as the school elaborates and develops its Political Pedagogical Project (PPP) and consists of a legal requirement in course in the schools of the country. This justifies the objective of this work to know as the construction of the PPP in the interior of the Brazilian public school in the context of the democratic management occurs. Of this form, the work is divided in four chapters, where the first three present a revision of literature about democracy in school, their assumptions and implications, and finally the application of field research. We conducted a case study in the Escola Estadual Novo Horizonte, located in Palmas, Tocantins, through questionnaires and interviews and documentary research. The results show that the degree of community involvement in building political pedagogical project is still insufficient, and therefore, the management team must find new mechanisms to promote participation in the consolidation of democracy in this school.
