Abstract

The objective of this monograph is to verify which the teacher's of Infantile Education profile demanded by the Administration of a public school, in Saint Maria-RS, and to check the managers' interference in the teaching-learning process in the Infantile Education. This study has as methodological practice the sociological research, of qualitative stamp, of the type case study. Firstly, a revision of theoretical approaches is accomplished on the Infantile Education teacher and on the Democratic Administration. In a second moment, it is analyzed the Pedagogic Political Project of the researched school and the application of the instrument of collection of data, the semi-structured interview. Starting from this last one, relevant subjects are highlighted concerning the infantile educator's professional profile; the competences and necessary abilities so that he/she exercises his/her function appropriately; the difficulties found in the pedagogic practice of the daily classroom; how the Democratic Administration is processed, according to the principles of School autonomy, aiming a Democratic School. We noticed, so much starting from the theoretical referential as of the collected data, that it is necessary the acquisition of abilities and capacities of reflexive action about the world (the values, what we are...), so that the Infantile Education teacher favors the growth and/or the child's integral development, found in the mutual respect, in the justice, in the solidarity and in the affectivity. It is also fundamental his/her compromising with the educational process, so that the Democratic Administration is not one more objective to be reached, but a reality.
