Currículo e gestão educacional: verificando espaços, possibilidades e garantindo o lugar da diversidade cultural na escola

Abstract

In this monograph we investigated the National Curricular Parameters (NCPs), through qualitative research, epistemologically based on complexity, which aimed to investigate the way in which the cultural diversity theme is approached in one of the main documents that govern the Brazilian Educational System as well as well as reflections on the role of the school and its professionals in the construction of critical and reflexive individuals who are aware of their role in society. Bearing in mind the need for an intercultural education, the work seeks to help professionals in the field question pedagogical practices and rethink their role within the country's education. Based on the respect and appreciation of the cultural wealth existing in our country, we analyzed the NCPs and we note the concern of some governments with the theme, as well as the difficulties in addressing the subject faced by most Brazilian schools, we observe the forms of discrimination that permeate our society and the ways to confront them, transforming the school into a democratic place. Finally, we discuss the transformative role that educational management can have within Brazilian educators. With the research we note the concern that some governments had about the theme and the difficulties faced by education professionals. We emphasize that intercultural education is the key to ending the misunderstandings and failures of education.
