Gestão democrática no ensino fundamental: o professor conselheiro como mediador entre o educando e os gestores escolares

Abstract

Few studies have as thematic of analysis the participation of students in school management. It is understood that for a legitimate school management to achieve their goals, all actors involved must participate and feel represented. Based on this discussion, this study aims to explore the possibility of having in the advisor teacher a mediator between students and school administrators, seeking developing a method to give voice to students, contributing to an effective democratic management. This study aimed to verify how the educator, through its role of mediator, can help the students to enhance their participation in school management, which has as main reference the democratic management. In this purpose, this study investigates how far is possible this mediation practice by educator and how effective it is or not as a way to help students to participate in school management. We use as approach method the qualitative appreciation through ethnographic research. To collect the data observation and the questionnaire were chosen. To interpret them, discourse analysis was seen as the best approach because reveals the ideological positioning of words and individuals. The work is divided into two stages. First we show the theoretical referential used to develop the study, which highlights the role of democratic management from the mentioned objective and we emphasize the ability of the teacher to be a mediator between the student and the school managers, seeking an effective democratic management. The second stage presents the diagnosis and analysis of the collected data, proving the viability or not of this intermediation of the educator.
