COORDENAÇÃO PEDAGÓGICA: A REALIDADE ENTRE ESCOLAS PÚBLICAS E PARTICULARES DE NAVIRAÍ/MS

Abstract

This study addresses the role of the pedagogical coordinator, aiming to understand, through the experiences of two pedagogical coordinators—one from a public school and the other from a private school—how their practices are configured and what specificities emerge in each context. The research adopted a qualitative, descriptive approach, conducting semi-structured interviews with coordinators from schools in a municipality in Mato Grosso do Sul. The study highlights that this professional plays an essential role in mediating between management, teachers, and pedagogical practices, acting as an agent of training and promoting the quality of education. The analyses reveal that the exercise of this function varies significantly according to the institutional context. The accounts highlight that in private schools, the coordinator has more favorable conditions to perform their duties, while in public schools, factors limiting their performance were identified, mainly regarding conflict resolution. The collected data provide essential support for the conclusion of the study.
