Culture, school organization and pedagogical coordination: areas of intersection

Abstract

The research problematized the existing culture in the work of pedagogical coordinators who work in public schools. The objectives are to point out notions about the cultural dynamics associating it with the professional culture of the pedagogues; to know the characteristics of the work developed by the pedagogues and also contribute to the processes of professional reflection of pedagogues who act in the school management / coordination. It is developed from the perspective qualitative approach of the interpretative type. It shows that schools share values linked to bureaucracy, even if it presents itself in a frank dysfunction, and it means resistance or attempt to overcome it in the face of an organization lacking a new rationality. As for the pedagogical coordination of these organizations, we infer that the work that is most evident is coordinating the inconsistencies of the existing bureaucracy, although the political-democratic coordination of collective human effort has not been fully revealed through continuous, reflexive and collaborative in school.
