A cooperação na gestão escolar: implicações no processo de ensino/aprendizagem

Nos finais do século XX e início do século XXI ocorreram transformações sócio-económicas e culturais nas sociedades que determinaram o aparecimento de certos problemas no seio dos sistemas educativos contemporâneos. O fenómeno da mudança acelerada e da globalização fez com que os sistemas educativos actuais enfrentassem situações que reclamam adaptação constante dos indivíduos à mudança. De acordo com a literatura, há que reinventar constantemente e com criatividade a educação, o ensino, a aprendizagem, a escola. De facto, o contexto actual traz novos desafios às Organizações Educativas. Perante este cenário urge investir numa gestão/liderança capaz de definir e concretizar objectivos, capaz de influenciar positivamente os seus membros e conduzir ao sucesso. Este estudo tem como principal objectivo identificar, descrever e analisar a cultura de uma escola particular do 1º ciclo do ensino básico, com Pré-Escolar, no âmbito da sua gestão/liderança, numa perspectiva de trabalho cooperativo, e suas implicações no processo ensino/aprendizagem. Nesta investigação é utilizada a metodologia etnográfica, para a recolha e interpretação dos dados. Esta metodologia implicou a observação participante, completa por oportunidade, pelo facto da investigadora exercer a sua profissão no contexto que foi objecto de estudo. O estudo permitiu concluir que a mudança visionada pelos docentes não depende apenas das propostas imputadas pela administração educativa, mas sim quando eles próprios, reconhecem, participam e decidem conjuntamente sobre o que deve ser mudado; o trabalho cooperativo é muito mais profícuo no processo ensino e aprendizagem na medida em que permite aos alunos e professores uma visão mais ampla, uma vez que estão expostos a mais de uma opinião, e a uma maior participação e superação das dificuldades; para que as alterações aconteçam, efectivamente, em contexto escolar, não se pode ignorar o papel das Direcções, tanto no âmbito administrativo como no âmbito pedagógico.

Cooperação e competição entre políticas no Brasil: os cursos da governabilidade no presidencialismo da catalização

Public policies have been studied in the various fields of humanities and social sciences, from different theoretical and technical aspects. However, there is still a lack of studies that incorporate the dimension that encompasses the political action and its interference in such actions, also recognizing the importance of the institutional setting of the Brazilian presidential model in implementing these policies. This fragmented and multiparty system has led to power heterogeneous sets of political parties. Thus, the ministerial offices, more than assisting the President´s government project, manage particularized agendas, which are party biased and have the influence of interest groups in hegemonic themes addressed by government agencies. When these agendas operate in sectoral and specialized policies, the friction level is apparently low. However, when this occurs in intersectoral actions, such as in regional development, there is evidence of strong signs of competition among government agencies, which in theory, should operate in an integrated manner. Although this is not a specific feature of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva´s government- the period to be studied- there was similar behavior in Fernando Henrique Cardoso´s presidency, one realizes that the expansion of coalition on behalf of governance is increasingly interfering in the outcome of intersectoral public policies, due to these multiple arguments in action. In order to understand these processes, this study focused on the Sustainable and Integrated Development Programme for Differentiated Meso-Regions (PROMESO), part of the National Policy for Regional Development (NPRD). The program provides interface with various government agencies and their public policies in a clear intersectoral design. The research sought to identify and analyze the relationships between government agencies and their programs with interest groups, whether political parties or other segments of civil society, highlighting the logic of favoritism, which poses in second place the integration of actions in the intersectoral policies. Therefore, besides the theoretical debate that incorporates several categories of political science, public administration, public policy, geography and economics, the study focused on secondary sources, using different government agencies databases in order to raise information. It was observed that the interference of partisan politics has been disastrous for some public policies. Thus, the research confirms that cooperative character is fragile within government agencies, often limited to official documents, and that there is indeed, a striking feature of competition, especially when it comes to transversalized policies

Relação entre ciclo de vida do produto turístico e estratégias de cooperação na faixa litorânea urbana do município de Natal

We used the qualitative and quantitative methodological approaches, and data collected by consulting of secondary data and semistructured interviews with twelve staff working in tourism in Natal. Results showed that the life cycle graph of product 'Coastal Cities of Natal is moving from one stage of growth to a stage of maturity, with a primary upward trend and with crises that are up over the graph. They have been mapped six of tourism development projects of relevance to the product: The Politics of Mega Projects, PRODETUR/NE, Municipalization National Program of Tourism, Regionalization Program, Urbanization Project Beach do Meio and Actions for the Promotion of Destiny. They have been identified sixty-four participating players in process of tourism development, which twenty were considered relevant to the respondents. The main strategies identified for cooperation were the consortium, collective strategy and clusters. Results indicated that co-operation strategies were adopted so that the benefits were obtained at the collective level, dedicated to the strengthening of Natal Destiny and its products. The main reasons were the need of cooperative marketing, international market entry and actions inducing the state. Finally, it was concluded that strategies for cooperation related to product life cycle 'Coastal Cities of Natal' as that work in the consolidation of projects for development of tourism, when the efficiency of collective action is achieved
