The Daily Life of School Management: the case method in the systematization of problems

This article is the result of a research entitled Everyday Perspectives on School Management, conducted by CAEd-UFJF in 2011. In order to capture the perceptions of teachers, pedagogical coordinators and principals about the school management in which they belong, 17 focus groups were created in 6 public schools in the city of Juiz de Fora. The proposed methodology took into account two important processes: systemization of problems and solutions proposals. For this, 17 cases inspired by 5 categories of problems were developed: relationship between school and family, student indiscipline, pedagogical abandonment, discontinuity of teaching practices and inaccuracy in school management.
