RELAÇÕES DE PODER NO INTERIOR DA ESCOLA BASICA NO ESTADO DE GOIAS E NO DISTRITO FEDERAL

Abstract

This study discussed how power relationships within the school are presented and manifested based on the state institutional documents of the Federal District and the State of Goiás. The proposed objectives were: Understand how power relationships are evident (or not) inside the school based on the analysis of documents governing the SEEDF and SEDUC-GO education systems, for the Basic Education school level. And as specific: Study how social dynamics related to power relations in the School Institutional happen; Analyze texts that support the theoretical basis on the subject within thinkers founding the practices of power relations and how such actions are reflected in school daily life, their consequences in the construction of learnings and labor actions; Analyze power relations by looking at basic education regulations in the teaching systems in the state of Goiás and in the Federal District. It was sought here based on the theoretical grounds of Bourdieu (1982,1983) and Foucault (1979,2005,2014) to delimit from the origins of the Power to how it manifests itself in the context of institutions, in the daily dynamics, validated through the aforementioned documents. It is taken here from the assumption that behind documents, rules, and other apparently neutral devices there is a game of power and that despite the alleged democracy and participatory management there is an implicit conduction in the documents that is what enables the strategies of power to be effective. Ratifying Bourdieu’s theory is seen here how these mechanisms end up being internalized through the experiences and cultural practices during people’s lives in the case of schools, how these provisions, proposals in documents, rules and projects are incorporated affecting and subordinating individuals in their way of thinking and acting in the social world. The method used was bibliographic and document research supported by qualitative and descriptive research. The method of Content Analysis in the molds used by Laurence Bardin (1977) was used for the processing of the documents. The result found from the work with the respective documents of the two secretariats pointed out that while one of them demonstrates full availability with access, the other restricts it by showing a discrepancy between the democratic speech of the text and what actually occurs in practice. Despite constituting a documentary survey and without the involvement of direct subjects, the documents in their discursive and content analysis point to the discrepancy between theory and practice and mainly evidence the power relationships in the context of the speech as pointed out the two main theoretical topics addressed.
