A perspectiva democrática como possibilidade de atualização do conceito de administração escolar à luz do pensamento de Vitor Henrique Paro

Abstract

The search for a school committed to its time brings the challenge of the relationship between school and society. In this sense, this research is grounded in current theoretical reflections about the school administration as a parameter to rethink comprehensive school practices. Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyze the possibility, in light of the thought of Paro, of an update of the concept of school administration under the participatory dimension. The used methodology is bibliographical matrix and part of the reflective source of Paro (1986, 1987, 2007, 2009, 2010) for a comprehensive analysis of the subject. The school administration, inspired on the participatory dimension, focuses this research in group work that the manager assumes in order to expand the possibilities of the issues relating to the school. In this regard, on counterpoint to a school administration turned to capitalist interests that result in routinization and bureaucratization of activities within the school, this research points to the manager's role in the transforming of the school into an intersubjective space, which the formation range implies in critical dimension of citizenship and social transformation.
