As relações políticas-pedagógicas da Escola Municipal Chico Santeiro: os diretores e os conselheiros escolares (2015-2017)

Abstract

This dissertation aims to understand the political-pedagogical relationship between the directors (administrative-financial and pedagogic) and the counselors of the Chico Santeiro’s municipal school in Natal city, RN, since 2015 to 2017. As a method of research, we assumed dialectical historical materialism, which guided us to the following question: How do happen the political-pedagogical relations between principals and counselors? As an empirical basis, to answer this question, the Board and the School Council were analyzed, two maximum and deliberative organs of the studied school, dialoguing with the theories of Freire (2011); Fanon (1968); Fernandes (1995); Aristotle (2000); Marx and Engels (2000). The research showed that these relationships are based on the colonizing logic of the popular saying, serving as an osbstacle to allow the collective to be self-educated at the moment of decision making. However, the same pedagogical political policies take place in an environment of conflict anchored by individual and collective interests, presenting a chemical dial: or care as an aggregating mechanism of political intentions and pedagogical practices among school principals and counselors.
