Glossário de ciência política: contribuições para os estudos das políticas educacionais

Abstract

This dissertation, from the Professional Masters Course of the Postgraduate Program in Public Policy and Educational Management (PPPG), sees the themes of Political Science as a fundamental analytical tool for understanding the discussions of Public Policy and Educational Management. Its general objective is to highlight the interrelationship between Political Science and Educational Public Policies, based on its introductory concepts. For specific objectives, it prioritizes: 1-Systematize the constitution of the Political Science field and its relationship with Public Policies; 2- Describe the courses of the Graduate Program in Public Policy and Educational Management at UFSM, emphasizing its dialogue with the field of knowledge of Political Science; 3- Develop a Political Science Glossary to help understand the contents of Public Policy and Educational Management. The investigation was based on a qualitative approach research, of the applied type, carried out in the Graduate Program in Public Policies and Educational Management, with students and teachers, using the techniques of bibliographic, documentary and field research, featuring itself as a case study. The product created was a Political Science Glossary whose purpose is to contribute to enabling and enhancing the reading and understanding of the field of Public Policy and Educational Management in the Graduate Program in Public Policy and Educational Management at UFSM. The field research and documental research evidenced the weakness of understanding and treatment of the theme of Political Science in the disciplines of the Pedagogical Projects of the PPPG courses, as well as in the training of teachers and students, who also highlighted their importance, as well as its non-availability during its initial training, in such a way as to justify the offer of the product on screen. It is expected that this investigation can contribute to the studies of Political Science applied to Education, an underdeveloped field of studies.
