O projeto político pedagógico e as práticas cotidianas na gestão escolar

Abstract

This work aims to understand the limits and possibilities of the Political Pedagogical Project (PPP) as a guiding document of the school practices in a municipality school in the city of Ijuí-RS, comprehending the manager role as a coordinated of this process and the others educational agents, in the democratic management perspective. The PPP is one of the most relevant mechanisms concerning the democratic school management, but this document eventually assumes, in the public schools, a bureaucratic role and loses its real function. Based on the relations established between the PPP, the democratic management and the school manager role in the construction and elaboration of this important document, we were able to comprehend the school context. In order to development the research, it was used the qualitative methodology, as well, two instruments to collected the data: the documental analysis of the PPP and a structure interview with parents, teachers and school principals, besides the theoretical review about the subject. The data found demonstrate that only a few people who works in the school, truly knows what the school’s PPP is. We conclude this work, by proposing that the school management should coordinate the entire process of the PPP elaboration in a participatory manner, respecting the differences and the places occupied by each member of the school community.
