SILVA, Soane Santos; PIRES, Ennia Débora Passos Braga and GOMES, Marília do Amparo Alves. Pedagogical coordination: perceptions of school coordinators in a democratic management perspective. Acta Educ. [online]. 2023, vol.45, e55295. Epub Oct 01, 2022. ISSN 2178-5201. https://doi.org/10.4025/actascieduc.v45i1.55295.
Resultantly from a master's research that aims to analyze the perceptions of school coordinators about the work of pedagogical coordination from the democratic management perspective as well as the challenges at carrying out collective work. The research was developed in the Municipal network of Education - Elementary School, in Itapetinga, Bahia, having as investigation subjects seven school pedagogical coordinators, four school managers and two technical coordinators. As a method of analysis, the study is based on dialectics, in the perspective of historical materialism. We appropriated the bibliographic research for the theoretical deepening of the object of study and, as instruments for data collection, we used documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews. The research results reveal, among other aspects, important points of reflection: the conditions of the coordinator to 'articulate' pedagogical activities within spaces that are not democratic; training can not be only the pedagogical coordinator duty, but requires an action of the state; the difficulties encountered by the coordinator when there are no working conditions and performance of their duties ensured by the government of the state.
