Projeto polítivo pedagógico de uma escola do século XXI: entre desafios e possibilidades

Abstract

Education is a subject that has always been a source of warm discussions and oppositions. The debates have been complex and difficult, because most of the time it is not only about the certainty of need for change, but it is about how this change will be implemented. The main objective of this work is to understand what elements are necessary to think about the pedagogical political project of a school for the 21st century, considering possibilities to improve the education quality. In order to do so, this research, which was carried out in a qualitative way, analyzes the Pedagogical Political Project of an Innovative School (a School for the 21st Century) and makes an analysis of literature and legislation. Educational policies and organizational and curricular directives, which are foreseen in the Federal Constitution of 1988, have intentions, which are beyond of school’s organization, structure and management. They have intentions, values, attitudes and practices that will influence the student’s education. Therefore, in the elaboration or reconstruction of the Political Pedagogical Project, the participants of this process must be aware about their value for the functioning of the school as a place where it is possible to acquire, construct and reconstruct knowledge, which the community really needs. Amid so many transformations in the 21st century, the world is experiencing a cultural and technological revolution. This implicates a constant rethinking about education. There is a need to review the real function of the education and of the school, which also demands a replanning of the teaching and learning dynamics reorganization.
