Abstract

The core issue of this research takes into consideration the democratic management in some schools of São Pedro das Missões, a city located in the north of Rio Grande do Sul State. For this, the research aims to analyze the interfaces of democratic school management and its influence on the formation of the students in relation to their acquisition of knowledge in the educational environment. To discuss this issue, one question arises: to what extent management can promote a critical and citizen formation of their subjects based on the concepts of democratic and school management? Therefore, we developed a qualitative research of a type case study, which involved 06 employees between the two schools, and a contributor to the Municipal Education Department, being the Municipal Secretary of Education. It was applied to employees some open questions that have provided a better understanding of what was questioned. Through the reflections about the theoretical support investigated and the conducted interview, it becomes clear that the subjects in the study recognized that the approach of school management to democratic principles, makes it possible to enlarge the understanding that the participation of the entire school community extends the folding fans from the field school. The scope of this understanding happens in that all seek to participate in the school´s daily life, whether in its administrative, financial or educational sphere, in view of the expansion of school projects aimed at promoting citizenship.
