As aproximações e distanciamentos entre a gestão escolar no ensino médio e as culturas juvenis

Abstract

The school management it is evident in the organizational dynamics of the relations between the subjects of the educational process, to direct the teaching activities. In one of the levels of school education, the Middle School, the young cultures mingle themselves with their peers, interact with the school community and also present themselves in today's world in uncertainties of future prospects. From this problem, this study aimed to investigate about the school management in the Middle School of the “Public School in Search of Knowledge” and its approach to youth culture, in the morning and evening. This research was based on a qualitative focus and as type of research was given the case study. Participants were three managers’ teachers, being one the principal and two deputy directors of the morning and evening shifts of the Public School in Search of Knowledge. The instrument used to collect information was a semi-structured interview, which was taped, transcribed and then interpreted through content analysis. We conclude that the future prospects for the youth culture are permeated by social constraints identified, especially in the globalized economy, which restricts the supply of jobs and against the inclusion of youth in the labor market. The education oriented to the dialogue requires the social and moral commitment of managers, teachers and staff, so students develop a sense of importance and respect and, in return, by the school, which is renewed in its capacity for transformation and adaptation to the impositions that the educational and social policies design for his performance in the community.
