A gestão democrática na contemporaneidade: uma revisão de literatura

Abstract

The concept of School Management - relatively recent - is extremely important, since we want a school that meets the current demands of social life: educate humanized citizens, offering also the possibility of judicial competence and skills and facilitates inclusion. Therefore, considering that the definition of school management appears to replace the term "school administration" to not only provide new ideas, but a new paradigm that seeks to establish a manufacturing orientation, from the dynamic relationships that occur dialectically in its context. Taking these concepts as reference, and believing that there is a lack of publications that address this issue, we propose to analyze seven papers that address this issue. As a result, most analyzed authors attributed the low interest to the lack of political decentralization of the federal spheres, as one of the biggest obstacles in the consolidation of the ideals of democracy. Also, they stressed the importance of collective work in educational institutions and the role of managers is essential in resistance to the means of mass communication. However, it was obvious a unanimous about the importance of establishing a democratic management within the school framework for achieving the so much craved quality in education.
