Uma escola da região central do Rio Grande do Sul em busca de uma gestão participativa: estudo de caso

Abstract

This research sought to deepen the knowledge about the management of a municipal school in the central region of Rio Grande do Sul. The community there is needy inserted and violence is a constant concern on the location. The school principal has been in office for a charge created from the declaration of unconstitutionality of Law N° 1335/2000 of the Municipality, which sets guidelines for the election of directors of municipal schools. The study was focused on monitoring the management team and its performance in that reality, and for this I used the qualitative methodology, carrying out data collection with interviews and questionnaires applied to the management team and teachers who have worked and still work at the institution. The readings performed sought to clarify aspects related to violence and indiscipline in schools and define what is participation in an institution that wishes to act in front of a participatory management. From the data collected it was found that there is a great concern by the leadership and teachers to minimize the issue of violence and indiscipline in the school. It was observed that significant changes are taking place at Santos Dumont School and the goal of a participatory management is unable to focus mainly to the concept of what really is participation in school is understood and practiced by everyone.
