Planos municipais de educação na região da Amerios - SC: um estudo sobre a gestão democrática

Abstract

This dissertation is part of the Research Line “Educational Policies” of the Graduate Program of the Federal University of Fronteira Sul (UFFS), linked to the Research Project “Management, Innovation and Financing of Education in the Scope of Brazilian Educational Policies and Administration"; Its object of study is the democratic management of municipal education plans in the region of the Association of Municipalities of Entre Rios (Amerios – SC). We sought, throughout the investigative course, to answer the research problem: to what extent do the municipal education plans in the Amerios region assume democratic management as a guiding principle in the administration of municipal education? The general objective of the study was “to analyze the extent to which municipal education plans assume democratic management as a guiding principle in the administration of municipal education”. The realization of the democratic management of education at sub-national levels, although it has been foreseen for a long time in the broader legal frameworks, takes place in an arena of disputes, which results in its effective materialization. The main authors used in the study were: Cury (2022), Dourado (2017), Ferreira (1999), Gil (2008), Libâneo (2015), Lima (2000), Lima, Prado e Shimamoto (2017), Lück (1997), Paro (2016), Peroni (2013a), Saviani (2008), Souza (2009), Vieira (2007), among others. This is a qualitative study, with a bibliographical approach to understand the concepts and definitions of the categories and themes that lead to the object of study, in addition to the analysis of official documents. To perform the data interpretation, the content analysis technique of Bardin (2016) and Moraes (1999) was used. The construction and development of sub-national education plans can be understood as places of dispute between social and political actors for the public right to education. It was found that the plans assume democratic management, at least in the preamble, but in the goals and strategies, there are elements in managerial management that do not fully conceive of participation; Participation is granted on a limited basis, restricted to inspection. The PMEs of the municipalities analyzed, to a large extent, limited themselves to reproducing the text of the state and national plans; did not use this instrument as a way to promote a broad debate in the community, to make a collective construction, based on the diagnosis of the local reality.
