Abstract

The study aims at analyzing how the management staff from two public schools, named respectively as Innovation and Tradition, recontextualizes the policy of management democratization, established by the Municipal Secretary of Education (SME) of Jaguarão, in 2009. Initially, it presents historical aspects of Jaguarão City showing the recent history of the Municipal Secretary of Education, in order to understand the local context of the two schools investigate. Secondly, the theme of school research. In a second moment, we approach the theme of democratic management, supported by studies of Brazilian researchers, as Vitor Paro and Naura Ferreira, as well as the process of recontextualization inspired by the sociological theory of Bernstein, and the policy cycle, as of contributions of Stephen Ball. We focus, in this sense, the participation and the autonomy as conductor shafts of democratization of school management. In the sequence, we focus on the process of policy recontextualization of the Municipal Education, two schools within the network. To accomplish this research of qualitative approach and descriptive character, we have adopted the methodology of case study. We used as research techniques, document analysis, observations in two public schools in the city of Jaguarão and interviews with directors, vice-directors and pedagogical supervisors, educational counselors, teachers, staff and parents. At the end, it is clear that schools recontextualize in different way the politics of democratization of management proposed by the Education Department. The Innovation School shows have no apparent resistance to the text of the SME, performing a kind of reading in line with the interests of the school community, in search of a way of democratic management, differently, the Tradition School demonstrates resistence to the politics in focus and so in its process of recontextualization distances itself from that, according to the SME, it means, in pratice, democratize the management, once th in this institution predominate values little democratic, rooted in the history of the city, very close to a traditional management
