Aprender a incluir na educação pré-escolar

Este Trabalho de Projecto foi realizado no âmbito do Mestrado em Ciências da Educação: Educação Especial – domínio cognitivo e motor. A concretização do projecto visou promover a educação inclusiva num grupo de crianças da educação pré-escolar, em que três das crianças apresentavam alguma alteração no seu desenvolvimento, proporcionando situações de aprendizagem e desenvolvimento para todas. O desenvolvimento do projecto caracterizou-se pela abordagem efectuada no âmbito da metodologia de investigação-acção utilizando a perspectiva avaliação/diagnóstico, planificação, intervenção e reflexão, numa intervenção por etapas. De acordo com o plano de acção delineado, efectuou-se uma proposta de intervenção organizada de forma estruturada para o grupo de crianças, na faixa etária dos 3/4 anos, procurando proporcionar situações de desenvolvimento e aprendizagem para todo o grupo, em todas as áreas de desenvolvimento, incidindo sobretudo no aspecto relacional entre as crianças do grupo. Para além disso, contemplaram-se, simultaneamente, situações de envolvimento das famílias das crianças e a participação do grupo em actividades no contexto escolar com outros grupos de crianças. Os resultados do projecto traduziram evoluções ao nível do desenvolvimento e aprendizagem das crianças, desenvolvendo capacidades em várias áreas e revelando progressos ao nível da relação com o outro. Mas para além disso, o projecto assumiu sobretudo uma oportunidade de reflexão no sentido de efectuar mudanças na intervenção para conseguir que se tornasse verdadeiramente inclusiva e procurando dar resposta à diversidade existente no grupo, de acordo com as perspectivas teóricas defendidas.

A importância das tecnologias da informação e da comunicação em crianças com autismo ; no pré-escolar

O presente estudo teve como objetivo aferir a importância das Novas tecnologias da Informação em crianças com autismo, no Pré-Escolar. Para um conhecimento mais alargado do tema e uma nova visão sobre esta problemática, foi necessário recorrer a uma análise da literatura, definindo-se no enquadramento teórico uma abordagem à Educação Especial, Autismo e às Novas Tecnologias da Informação, procurando identificar os recursos educativos na área das Novas Tecnologias, utilizados nestas crianças, que as ajudem a minimizar e superar dificuldades, tornando-as competentes e funcionais levando à inclusão no meio ambiente, social e escolar. Apresentou-se a metodologia utilizada; metodologia qualitativa e quantitativa, a definição da amostra; Educadores de Infância e Professores do Ensino Especial; o inquérito por questionário como instrumento de recolha de dados para perspetivar a opinião dos Educadores e Professores do Ensino Especial sobre a importância das Tic no processo ensino/aprendizagem. Por fim fez-se a análise e discussão dos resultados através dos quais se concluiu que, os Educadores de Infância têm bastante desconhecimento sobre o autismo e as TIC; já a maioria dos Professores do Ensino Especial têm mais conhecimento sobre o tema, reconhecendo ambos os grupos de inquiridos, a importância das TIC no processo ensino/aprendizagem dos indivíduos autistas.

Resposta das lideranças para a articulação curricular, do pré-escolar ao secundário, num Agrupamento de Escolas

As constantes evoluções da realidade social e consequentes exigências demandam à escola uma readaptação permanente e uma constante busca de sentido, na tentativa de adequação a novos públicos e a novos papéis. Partindo do pressuposto, que o objetivo central de qualquer organização escolar é o de preparar os seus alunos para uma plena e efetiva inserção na sociedade, cabe à mesma encontrar mecanismos que garantam as condições de sucesso a todos eles. Nesta lógica, uma vez que a ausência da articulação curricular pode constituir-se como um obstáculo ao sucesso educativo, coloca-se a seguinte questão: em que medida as lideranças dos agrupamentos verticais de escolas poderão contribuir para uma articulação curricular mais eficaz, do pré-escolar ao secundário? Conscientes desta problemática, apresentamos um trabalho de projeto, cuja abordagem temática se centra no papel que o diretor escolar pode ter na coordenação e liderança das estruturas de topo e intermedias, de forma a promover entre os vários departamentos, uma articulação curricular mais eficaz. A estrutura deste trabalho vai afunilando na construção de um projeto de intervenção destinado ao agrupamento, baseado na análise de conteúdo do relatório elaborado pela inspeção geral de educação (IGE), aquando da sua avaliação externa. Os resultados esperados sugerem que, o órgão de gestão de topo, na figura do diretor, desenvolva uma ação concertada e articulada com as estruturas intermédias, num caminho para o desenvolvimento de uma escola de qualidade com vista ao sucesso educativo.

A Comunicação na Transição do Pré -Escolar para o 1.º Ciclo

Mediante a grande relevância que a sociedade ao longo dos tempos tem dado sobre a temática da educação das crianças, atualmente, esta é vista como um suporte fundamental de todo um processo de aprendizagem ao longo da vida das crianças. E embora a Educação pré-escolar (EPE) tenha cariz opcional, contemporaneamente esta é reconhecida como sendo a primeira etapa de um processo de formação integral que visa, principalmente, preparar as crianças para a escola, preparando-as para o longo caminho educativo, com um peso decisivo no sucesso escolar e social destas mesmas. Consciente da relevância da EPE, apresentamos um trabalho de projeto que procura elucidar e dar resposta ao problema da: comunicação na transição do Pré-Escolar para o 1.º Ciclo. A ser implementado, a metodologia do mesmo será a investigação ação (I-A), devido às características de intervenção social, inerentes às variáveis em estudo e aos destinatários alvo do projeto de intervenção. Pretende-se alcançar os seguintes objetivos: a) “identificar as principais barreiras da comunicação na transição do Pré-Escolar para o 1.º Ciclo; b) enunciar estratégias que estimulem práticas alternativas à passagem de informação entre o Pré-Escolar e o 1.º Ciclo; c) articular a passagem de informação entre o Pré-Escolar e o 1.º Ciclo”, Para tal, propósito, propôs-se implementar uma ação de formação com onze sessões, assente na revisão da literatura da especialidade, na autorreflexão, na experiência didática de cada um dos participantes, assim como, na pertinência do trabalho em equipa, cooperativo e participativo entre docentes. Pretende-se com esta formação, para além de atingir os objetivos acima referidos, promover atitudes de mudança, dinâmicas colaborativas contextualizadas, ancoradas na comunicação, na reflexão contínua, na supervisão como ação de monitorização da prática pedagógica e, ao mesmo tempo, gradualmente, robustecendo atitudes e condutas que alteram alguns pré-conceitos existentes.

O pré-escolar: um estudo de leis e normas oficiais

O presente trabalho consiste num estudo das Leis, Normas e Diretrizes propostas pelo Ministério da Educação e Cultura que, a partir de 1975 até 1980, tiveram maior divulgação e portanto - suponho - muita influência nas programações de educação pré-escolar dos diversos Estados e Territórios da Federação. De início ressalta-se a importância da educação pré-escolar por si mesma como condição necessária e não contingente para o desenvo1vimento humano, descartando-se as abordagens da privação cultural, base da educação compensatória. A seguir assa-se ao estudo propriamente dito dos documentos selecionados, buscando-se encontrar os propósitos, contradições, dos programas apresentados pelo Sistema Oficial de Ensino com o objetivo de contribuir para o alcance de alternativas mais coerentes. Como Metodologia de Trabalho procura-se estudar os documentos segundo a ordem cronológica de sua publicação de modo a que se possa visualizar numa progressão seqüencial, as ações relativas ao Programa de Educação Pré-Escolar no Brasil. Conclui-se que, no decorrer de aproximadamente um quinqüênio, a natureza do discurso sobre o tema foi mantida quase na íntegra e que as medidas relativas à pré-escola, de modo geral conservaram-se no papel e que, assim mesmo, estas medidas revestem-se dos princípios de "educação compensatória."

Narrativas de Formação de Professoras dos Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental:Concepções e Construções de Necessidades Formativas na Geografia Escolar

This article is about a study about the training needs for teachers of elementary school in the field of Geography. It is our objective to grasp their conceptions of training needs and reflect about their formative needs to teach geography. We consider the training as reflective process that involves the movement of changes and improvement beyond of formal learning, considering its numerous dimensions. We reflected about formative needs in light of the readings of Rodrigues Esteves (1993), Silva (2000), Roberts (2006), Vieira (2010). The discussions about conceptions were based on Ferreira (2007). The empirical reference constitutes to a private school in the city of Ceará-Mirim/RN, SECAT Centro de Ensino. The social subjects of our research are five teachers who work in the initial years of elementary school. We resorted a survey (auto) biographical, based on the studies of Passeggi (2011), Delory (2008), Bertaux (2010) e Josso (2010), since it is our intention to turn to the historicity of the subject and the learning, recognizing the links between him and the world and the experiences based on for learning and adult training. As technical and methodological procedure we will use the Training Narratives, whose application allows the understanding of memories and stories of schooling teachers, since are reported events occurred during the development of the individual through seminars Biographical. We observed on the narratives constructed by the teachers the absence assignments of meanings to a reworking of the theoretical formative needs and questions of its organizing principles. However, we notice the teachers were able to develop senses and means to conceive the phenomenon in study, in a descriptive way, through articulated enunciations, including aspects and opportunities linked to their teaching practices and future formative prospects. Regarding School Geography, we based our studies in the reflections of Smith Junior (1994, 2000), Tonini (2003), Vesentini (2004) and Vlach (1991), among others. We verified that the needs evidenced by the teachers to teach geography were constructed from the contexts of their teaching practices present in their school and professional trajectories. Therefore, we noticed the need for formal pedagogical qualification so that we can conceive the phenomenon in study beyond its descriptive character, understanding that it is necessary to point out reflections and questions about the dynamics of production of global capital, which conveys its interests in the contexts that often emerge formative needs of the educational system

Dos tempos de escola aos dias atuais: reminiscências duradouras da experiência escolar

Este estudo trata sobre as marcas da experiência escolar no processo de individuação do sujeito e tem como objetivo geral conhecer de que forma essas experiências, a despeito das questões curriculares e pedagógicas, influenciam esse processo. Buscou-se interpretar as experiências reforçadas durante a escolarização e as trajetórias de enfrentamento das diversas situações vividas na escola. Tentou-se, também, compreender o sentido dos acontecimentos escolares críticos e igualmente como o meio familiar pode influenciar nas escolhas e formação dos sujeitos através do investimento pedagógico. Ademais, refletiu-se sobre os motivos que levaram alguns a permanecerem no ambiente escolar seja como estudante ou mais tarde, do lado de lá, como professor. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa de inspiração fenomenológica utilizando-se de entrevistas narrativas com quatro sujeitos, a partir das quais se identificou as principais características, estrutura, condições de origem, o contexto social, as estratégias escolares, as formas como foram manejadas e suas conseqüências. A análise dos relatos deixou claro dois eixos fundamentais da experiência escolar que se destacam na constituição dos sujeitos: de um lado a dinâmica do ambiente escolar vivido deixou marcas indeléveis na memória que foram determinantes para as escolhas pessoais; por outro lado, a referência familiar, através das suas várias formas de investimento pedagógico, teve uma influência decisiva. As marcas combinadas da escola e da família deixaram um legado importante para formação dos sujeitos e para as escolhas que fizeram durante as suas vidas, especialmente no direcionamento da suas carreiras profissionais. Invariavelmente, percebeu-se na investigação, que muito do aluno que se foi persiste no adulto e profissional de hoje. Assim, o Eu escolar é parte do Eu profissional que existe em cada um. O cidadão, a pessoa e o profissional são derivados dos processos de socialização e individuação, os quais em grande parte se definem durante a vida escolar. E é com o uso desse "capital escolar" , adquirido nos tempos de escola, que temos condições de desenvolver os muitos papéis sociais nos dias atuais.

A Formação de Padres no Nordeste do Brasil (1894-1933)

The Nossa Senhora da Conceição Seminary, installed in 1894, by Dom Adauto Aurélio de Miranda Henriques, first Paraíba Bishop, and the Episcopal Seminary of the Sagrado Coração de Jesus, implanted in 1913, by Dom José Thomas Gomes da Silva, first Aracaju s Bishop diocese, were created as a result of lack of an official religious process proposed by the Brazilian Republic Proclamation, in 1889. With the appoint to enlarge the number of priests and change the image of the priest married and unrolled who used to identify the Catholic Church in the colonial and imperial Brazil. Such bishops developed into intellectuals in the government, dioceses and formation priest houses. I take as a study object, for this doctorate paper, the academic formation and priesthood developed in theses seminaries, from 1894 to 1933, once 1894 the year of João Pessoa Creation Seminar that was implied the Minor Course (preparation) and the Major one (built by Philosophy and God related studies) and the research limit year of 1933, is concerned about the Major Sergipe Seminary ending, which was created and has worked offering the Minor and Major courses, from 1913 to 1933. Showing the teaching models that guided and leaded the priest formation, referred as Seminaries, and the application result is the objective of this investigation. To comprehend the teaching models seminaries studied, my research line is the Catholic Church theme and priest formation in Brazil. In front of the object and the objective desired, I chose the historical comparative method and the scholars modals notions of Araujo de Barros (2004) and the Sirinelli intellectuals (1996). Such references allowed me to analyze the formation given in the seminary and seminarian participation and actions, included the sequence after the scholars formation. The thesis defended is that the teaching model developed in the Brazilian Seminaries, created after a non official religious process in the Brazilian government, deal with a model of one unique center (Seminary formation and aim pre arranged by Santa Sé), although adapted, presuming the local reality and formation structure (privileged not only spiritual and moral speaking, but intellectual also), was it responsible for intellectuals generations (teachers priests, educationalist priest, journalists priests and so on) that boost the education in Brazil. During the Republic first three decades, when, in thesis, the Government was becoming free religion, i.e., the government did not subsidize the Church anymore, and the Government, among others aspects, did not received any Church care to help the public teaching in the country. The investigation reveled accede, by bishops and their followers, such as by the Concílio de Trento pre concept, or by the others ideas, leading by the priests formation in Seminaries. By creating and stalling diocese Seminary, Bishop Dom Adauto and Dom José went further their functions, by the time they built inside themselves a teaching model thought from the main pedagogic logic, based on several religious exercises, moral and ethic, considered by themselves several knowledge connected to humanity, philosophy and God related studies). Following clearly rationalism principle (the way of teaching, which each subject has its own teacher and this class get together students with the same knowledge, regardless of age) and efficiency (trying to teach the whole content in each class), the Seminaries researched developed a whole education, allowed the structure of a spiritual education, moral and intellectual, for a quality developed by priests, including different levels that they used to performance. Their bottom line, actions and priest matter achievement allowed their broad fulfillment, in the way that priests matter were associated with cultural, educational, welfare assistance, at last, intellectuals

O livro didático de história: um caleidoscópio de escolhas e usos no cotidiano escolar (Ceará, 2007 2009)

In the first decade of the XXI century, it is possible to assert that school textbook is part of the material culture of most public Brazilian schools by means of National School Textbook Program (PNLD). This research aimed at identifying and analyzing textbooks choice in Ceara, relating it to the uses of such tool within school daily life. The setting for the study was four public schools, two of them placed in Fortaleza, and the other in Quixada. It evaluated the uses of textbooks in the 6th grade. As part of methodology, public managers were interviewed, teachers answered surveys, and a direct observation during History classes in 2008 school year was carried out. The observation was over after round chats with students in the class, in which each one designed draws and sentences concerning to the textbook. Furthermore, the study was based on MEC official documents that regulate the textbook choice process with National textbook Program announcement (PNDL/2008) and PNDL/2008 Textbook Guide, in addition to History textbooks schools used. Roger Chartier‟s concept of appropriation was an analysis category, as well as Michael de Certeau s strategy and tatics‟, and Dominique Julia‟s concept of school culture . The study recognizes textbook in the perspective of Alain Choppin and Egil Borre Johnsen, since it is a complex cultural object. For this reason, the study designs an analogy with a kaleidoscope that sends different images depending on who uses it, within a set of colorful lines, since textbook comprehends nowadays different sources and languages, as it offers countless possibilities of use in teaching History. The study concludes that only the main text of each chapter is really worked in daily class practice. Therefore, although theoretical and graphic changes in textbook production, the textbook is underused, which is central to a later rethought of teachers instruction, since, depending on the conception of teaching and learning, textbook potentialities will be used to improve the development of knowledge in History.

Dos tempos de escola aso dias atuais reminiscências duradousras da experiência escolar

This study it treats on the marks of the school experience in the individuation process of the subject and has as general aim to know of that it forms these experiences, the spite of the curricular and pedagogical questions, influences this process. It searched to interpret the experiences strengthened during the school education and the trajectories of confrontation of the diverse situations lived in the school. It was tried,also,to understand the direction of the critical school events and equally as the familiar way can influence in the choices and formation of the citizens through the pedagogical investment. Furthermore, it was reflected on the reasons that had taken some to remain in the school environment are as student or, later, of the side of there ,as teacher. For in such a way, it realized a qualitative research with a phenomenological inspiration using narratives interviews carried with four subjects, from which if it identified the main characteristics, structure, conditions of origin, the social context, the school strategies, the forms as they had been managed and its consequences. The analysis of the stories clearly left two basic axles about the school experience that if detach in the constitution of the subjects: in a hand, the dynamics of the lived school environment left undeleted marks in the memory that had been determinative for the personal choices; on the other hand,the familiar reference, through its different forms of pedagogical investment,had a decisive influence. The agreed marks of the school and the family had left an important legacy for formation of the subjects and the choices that had made during their lives, especially in the aiming of its professional careers. Invariably, it was perceived in the inquiry, that much of the pupil who if was persists in the adult and professional of today. Thus, the school I it s part of professional I that it exists in each one. The citizen, the person and the professional are derived from the processes of socialization and individuation, which to a large extent are defined during the school life. And it s with the use of this school capital , acquired in the school times, that we have conditions to develop the many social roles in the current days

O grupo escolar modelo augusto severo (1908-1928): vinte anos de formação de professores

Ce travail a pour objet d'étude le Groupe Scolaire Augusto Severo, situé à Natal, première institution du type dans l'État du Rio Grande do Norte. Il analyse la pratique pédagogique, le modèle d'éducation primaire et d'expérimentation des personnes en formation de l'École Normale de Natal, entre 1908 et l'année de 1928. Dans cette période, se sont produites des tentatives d'organisation scolaire par le biais de la Réforme de l‟Enseignement Primaire (1908) et de la Réforme de l‟Enseignement (1916). Nous nous sommes basés sur l'Histoire Culturelle définie à travers la conjonction de l'histoire des objets dans sa matérialité, des pratiques dans leurs différences et configurations, des dispositifs dans leurs variations. Nous avons utilisé les journaux A República et Diário do Natal, la revue Pedagogium, des Lois, des Décrets et Messages du Gouvernement, des Codes d'Enseignement et le Régime Interne des Groupes Scolaires, documents qui proviennent du fonds de l'Institut Historique et Géographique do Rio Grande do Norte (IHGRN) et des sources iconographiques, provenant de l'Institut du Patrimoine Historique et Artistique National (IPHAN/RN). Dans les Archives Publiques de l‟Etat (APE/RN) nous avons recherché les Livres d'Enregistrement des Groupes Scolaires et Écoles Isolées, Offices, Inscriptions, Rapports et Actes de réunions de la Direction Générale de l'Instruction Publique et Journal de Classe. Nous avons analysé l'action des professeurs dans cette institution primaire, ainsi que l'histoire des disciplines scolaires et des programmes d'enseignement, la problématique des contenus et méthodes. Nous avons observé que la méthode intuitive était la dynamique de la pratique pédagogique efficace et que les rites de récompense, les cérémonies civiques composaient l‟ensemble des idées modernisatrices de l‟époque

A aproximação entre educação escolar e trabalho: a experiência da Casa do Menor Trabalhador

It aims to consider the possible relationship between formal school education and work, from the experience of the State School House of the Minor Worker CMT of Natal-RN in this first decade of the 21st century. In this institution, children and adolescents are enrolled in the Fundamental Teaching sponsored by the State Public System studying the regular curriculum contents defined for this level of teaching, and in the opposite shift they take part in career workshops which are kept by members of a religious congregation. CMT has had as its object, since its foundation, to take children and adolescents from the streets and to provide them with a full time education associating basic education and training/qualification for the job market. In our research, we tried to learn a little bit of the expectations, concerns and knowledge of the young participants of two workshops: carpentry and bakery, so that we could gain sufficient understanding of the learning process of these youths, while still keeping an approximation with the reality of the aforementioned subjects. It was possible for us to conduct a description of the contexts and of characteristics of the subjects which make up CMT, capturing concrete aspects and aspects of the thoughts of students, teachers, instructors and coordinators. The main point of our research was: how does the approximation between formal school education and work take place in the House of the Minor Worker? To search for possible answers we have made use of basic techniques for the data construction - questionnaire, observation, conversation groups, assessment drills which allowed an approximation and a good dialogue with the participants. We also discussed the job world in the context of the capitalist exploration, from the contributions of Mèszáros (2005), Frigotto (1989); (1993); (1999); (2002); Ferretti (1994); (2004); Kuenzer (1989); (1997), in order to understand the skills demanded of the worker and the necessity of an education which allows the professional qualification of youths eager to enter the job market, through the first job. In this perspective, the study that we have systematized here aims to show the relevance of an education which manages to take a firm and conscientious stand in connection with the hegemonic capitalist project and to provide for a humane, ethical, responsible, critical and civic background

A história escolar e a teoria da atividade: relações e possibilidades formativas no ensinar e aprender

This study investigates the manner in which the Activity Theory by Alexei Nikolaevich Leontiev contributed to the performance of a teacher who teaches History at the 8th year of elementary school, Escola Estadual Coronel Fernandes, in Luís Gomes - RN city. Her goal is to analyze the contributions of this theory in her teaching practice. It was opted by collaborative approach as formative strategy and was used as procedures for training of knowing the courses of study and thoughtful reflection sessions. It was used as techniques in the development of these cycles, the semistructured interview and the reflection sessions, the autoscopy and observation in real life. Regarding the theoretical foundation, held in these cycles, the teacher demonstrated to have appropriated some contributions from Activity Theory, besides relating them to her practice and understanding her importance to the improvement of teaching and learning of History. Concerning to the reflection sessions, the analysis showed that the participant has used of constructions of this theory and improved their practice, developing lessons of History so as to encourage student participation in oral and promote his integral development. The educational process, carried out on the practice of teacher, has shown an increase in her conscious learning that contributed to the improvement in their professional development. Before these findings, as needs for new thinking, this research recommends, especially the organization of teaching activities, based on this theory, which allows the teacher to improve the teaching and learning process contributing to student's full education

As relações de poder na gestão da Escola Estadual Presidente Kennedy em Natal/RN: as ações decisórias dos órgãos colegiados - o conselho de escola e o caixa escolar

The present study examined the relations of power in the management of the Escola Estadual Presidente Kennedy, including the deliberate decisions on the School Council and School Fund, which guided the organization of the school. We sought to understand the management models that influenced the school organization, promoting contradictions in the decision making process. The school management is intensely marked by management models from the business logics as in the case of managerialism of bureaucracy. The formulation of educational policies based on managerialism has proposed a school-centered management with intense accountability of the school community in planning and monitoring the public services. The influences of these models subsidize hierarchical power relations that undermine the actions of decision-making of the collegiate bodies for the democratization of school management. To develop a research on the power, the investigation was based on studies of Bourdieu and Foucault. These authors understand the power in a relational system in a double sense, both in terms of discipline and the possibility of resistance. A theoreticalmethodological matrix was developed focusing on literature review, document analysis, structured interviews with twelve representatives of the segments belonging to the School Council and School Fund, as well as observations in meetings with the production of field notes. It was found that power relations experienced in the organization and activities of the school boards are marked by changes in public management over the years, promoting the contradictions between the concepts of corporate management originated in the business logics and the perspective of democratic management subsidized by official legislative documents at the national and state levels. The observations in meetings and analysis of the records showed that representatives related to management (president and manager of the school) have a privileged position with regard to exposure of their propositions, and are more likely to take a position in the political game of the collegiate bodies of work. It was also seen that the irregularity of meetings, particularly of the School Fund meetings, limits the experience of operation of the representatives in discussions concerning the planning and monitoring the actions of school management. Reports from representatives of the School Council showed that certain segments related to the management recognize their power of decision, however others have little interfere in the decision-making process in order to expound the desires of those who are represented by them. In the School Fund, the analysis of the records and interviews showed restricted moments of the meeting of representatives, and these only being aimed at choice or approval of the implementation plan prepared by the school management. The results showed no indications of moments of reflection to study the best chance for applicability of resources. This collegiate body (School Fund) has a questionable action when planning and monitoring the applicability of the financial resources of the School. To sum up, it was found that the Escola Estadual Presidente Kennedy still lives hierarchical power relations that undermine the institutionalization of democratic management in the various representative segments may take place in the game of political decision-making processes necessary for the organization of the school
