Um estudo de caso sobre a participação da comunidade escolar em uma escola da região central do Rio Grande do Sul

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze how the process of school community participation is occurring in a school of the central region of Rio Grande do Sul about the bias of the principles of a democratic management. The research was characterized as a field survey of qualitative type, which analyzed the school's Political-Pedagogical Project and took in account aspects of whether there is or not a really democratic administration where there should be participation by all individuals involved in school. Observations and semi-structured interviews with the leadership team, teachers, parents, students and employees were also used taking in consideration the objective of this research. The interviews were taped, transcribed and analyzed according to content analysis. I found that the participation of school community is not yet absolute, due to lack of real parental participation and lack of interest and motivation from the school individuals, as well as the non-consolidation of the relationship between parents, students and teachers.
