SANTOS, Adriana Cavalcanti dos  and  LEITE, Carlinda. Curriculum policies in Portugal: conceptions and practices. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2019, vol.25, e23562.  Epub July 10, 2019. ISSN 1981-0431.  https://doi.org/10.26512/lc.v25i0.23562.

This article analyzes opinions of school cluster managers in Portugal, enrolled in the implementation of the policy that considers the nationally prescribed curriculum as a project that needs to be recontextualized in each school. The corpus of analysis are interviews analyzed by using a content analysis technique. This showed that these school managers agree with the principles of curricular autonomy and flexibility, both in teaching action planning and in the curricular practices, having in mind that they provide a re-signification of the national curriculum. However, difficulties arising from political measures that do not articulate with each other are identified.

Keywords : Educational policy; Curricular conceptions; School managers.
