Abstract

Consideration of the school manager within the context of democratic management present in the Federal Constitution of 1988 and the Law of Guidelines and Bases of 1996 increases the challenge of reflecting the educational organization. This article aimed to present the democratic management movement present in the aforementioned laws in three different school contexts. For this, elements were pointed out for the historical understanding of the subject; the democratic management of teaching in federal laws was identified; and, finally, based on three scientific research studies, attempts to achieve democratic management in school spaces in current times were presented. The bibliographical research was mainly focused on the studies proposed by Peres (2016), Santos (2013) and Nascimento (2013), which address issues related to the democratic management movement in different contexts and the challenges of the school manager. The conclusions of the scientific research explored lead to some points in common among them. Despite being in different contexts, the challenges of the young Brazilian democracy and its impact on a culture with limited social participation are prevalent in all three surveys. Additionally, social inequalities persist and are closely linked to income disparities. How can we think of practices for developing democratic management when primary needs are not met? Nascimento (2013) also warns against the tendency to make democratic practice invisible in contexts of social vulnerability.
