A influência da gestão gerencialista no contexto da gestão democrática

Abstract

Even in democratic management, the practices of managerialism manifest themselves, maintaining the State in control of educational institutions in a certain way. The present study aimed to analyze the influence of managerialist management in the context of democratic management. Its specific objectives are to discuss the relevance of democratic management and managerial management; analyze and synthesize the State of Knowledge regarding the topic “Influence of Managerial Management in Democratic Management”; and correlate the researcher's experiences acquired through Supervised Internship I, II and II, with the research findings, discussed in the State of Knowledge. The qualitative research used bibliographical research as its methodology. A literature review was conducted to establish the State of Knowledge resulting in the analysis of 33 works, which were into 5 categories, namely: “Managerialist reform in education”; “Commercial logic and the search for results”; “Interference of managerialist policy in school councils”; “Interference of managerialist management in the continuing education of school managers”; “External evaluations, tools of managerial management”. These categories enabled a better organization of the work, thus being able to align the themes according to their proximity to the topic, and thus carry out a more objective synthesis with better clarity. The qualitative nature of the research also made it possible to relate the experiences of internships with the studies analyzed. Leading to the following conclusions, that even with the implementation of democratic management in public schools, managerialism is still present through some instruments used by the State, but the perception of its presence in the school environment by managers and school communities is limited, and this allows the State to continue exercising its control in favor of its interests, but now with fewer obligations.
