Gestão democrática e participativa na educação infantil

Abstract

This paper aims to develop concepts and reflections on the following topics: the emergence of democratic management in schools, the relationship between school management and children's learning rights, active listening and children's participation in educational institutions, and the promotion of inclusive and participatory school management. Based on studies carried out on websites and reflective articles, it was found that education plays a crucial role as an instrument for social transformation through democracy. In this context, children's protagonism stands out as a central element in the construction of a free, fair, and egalitarian society. Even in the face of the vulnerabilities they face, children are the main authors of these processes, contributing with their unique perspectives-to a more inclusive and transformative education. The paper proposes to deepen these concepts, using quotes and developing a well-founded analysis to understand the relevance of democratic management as an essential tool to ensure participation, inclusion, and equity in the school environment.
