Saberes e fazeres da gestão democrática: as apropriações dos conhecimentos do Progestão e as práticas da administração escolar

Abstract

This research sought to identify how managers who have completed specialization in Public Management through Distance Training Program for School Managers (PROGESTÃO) in Rio de Janeiro, are using the concepts worked in the pipeline, such as the process of democratization and socialization and democratic management. Using structured interviews were analyzed speeches made by respondents: directors, coordinator and tutor in order to assess the repercussions of PROGESTÃO and if the principles of democratic management are actually being implemented. We address the issue of democratic management in the current educational context and the conceptual and policy for the training of school managers PROGESTÃO. We consider that the processes of training managers need to be consolidated so that finally the democratic attitude can be adopted in the work done within the school. We also believe that other studies that deal with the issues addressed in this thesis must be performed, as there are conflicts (that are not always admitted) between administrative conservatism with corporate nature and a democratic management among managers.
