Gestão democrática em uma escola comunitária da cidade de Tefé-AM

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the Democratic Management in a Community School in the urban area in Tefé. According to many experts, Democratic Management in a school environment is an act of civility and citizenship, so the problems that interfere for its effectiveness in the learning environment were investigated. The results showed that Democratic Management in the studied almost does not exist and a lot of factors have been contributing to the phenomenon. Among the main ones are the traditional management stipulated by its chairman, the lack of a pedagogical project, the lack of interest by the teachers group and community, which goes to the school only to receive the student s grades. Another problem is also the school facility where there is not a computer laboratory, nor a library. As suggestion, it is necessary to think about the educational politics dedicated to that scholar community, otherwise the citizens still will keep on living without their basic rights as the democratic and participatory one, regarding to not only the material resources help for a good learning process, but also the pedagogical activities oriented and directed by its chairman, the school manager.
