Abstract

The present dissertation was developed within the scope of the Professional Master in Management and Evaluation of Education (PPGP) of the Center for Public Policies and Education Evaluation of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (CAEd / UFJF). This research analyses the problems related to the cohabitation structure, found in two schools from Minas Gerais. The lack of a shared management and the power disputes are responsible for conflicts between the scholar actors and for others issues at the school. In this context, the main question of this study is: which actions may be taken to the realization of a shared management between two different institutions, from distinguishing teaching networks, that occupy the same space? The general objective of this research is to describe the conflicts found at this school and to propose actions that may reduce the identified difficulties. Through that, it can be created a shared management, improving the conditions of relations, work and professional and personal development. Besides, this research also proposed actions with the purpose of decreasing those issues. To do so, it was used, as a bibliographical reference, to discuss the teaching decentralization and municipalization, the following authors: Azanha (1991), Araújo (2010) e Resende (2007). It was also important to understand the conflict situations and the disputes over school spaces. To understand those points, the reflections were based at Silva (2011); Elias and Scotson (2000); Frago and Escolano (1998). Finally, Paro (2010) helped to think about the school management.
