O projeto político-pedagógico como instrumento de gestão pedagógica, democrática e de participação para uma escola estadual do Amazonas

Abstract

The present dissertation is the result of a research work developed within the scope of the Mestrado Profissional em Gestão e Avaliação da Educação (PPGP) of the Centro de Políticas Públicas e Avaliação da Educação da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (CAEd/UFJF). The case of management studied is related to the reality of the Escola Estadual N.S. do Bom Socorro (fictitious name), of the city of Barreirinha, state of Amazonas, that does not have its Political-Pedagogical Project (PPP), which, for the researcher, is a serious management problem. The objectives of the present study were defined for the discovery of the reasons why the school researched, which exists for more than three decades, still did not have a PPP. The main hypothesis was the problem of the lack of a PPP in that unit of education as a serious management problem. For this purpose qualitative research was used as methodology and as instruments the semi structured interview to educational actors, which are, teachers of pedagogical support and teachers. Chapter 1 of the dissertation deals with the description of the case itself, pointing to historical aspects of the PPP in Brazil and in Amazonas, besides talking about the context of the school in research, the educational network and the importance and significance of the PPP for a educational institution. Chapter 2 discusses the theoretical basis, whose structure is built from the defense of democratic management within the school context, passing through the meaning and valorization of the PPP, including with respect to the culture and the organization climate of the school. In this same chapter the methodological course is presented until the appropriation of the results of the research, its analysis and articulation with the thematic axes of the case under study: Democratic and Participatory School Management, and the School‟s Political-Pedagogical Project. Finally, chapter 3 brings to the bulge of the dissertation an intervention proposal, an Educational Action Plan built from the results obtained in the research, which requires concrete action to give meaning to all research work within a dynamic and dialectical process of theory with practice and vice versa. In the case in question the project will culminate in a proposal for the effective construction of the PPP of the researched school, with a view to democratic and participatory management.
