Cultura escolar em perspectiva democrática: saberes e práticas

Abstract

The book brought together a set of texts written by researchers interested in the field of School Culture studies. Written by 36 authors from 7 higher education institutions, and comprising 16 chapters, the book covers topics such as (i) the organization and functioning of educational institutions; (ii) the construction and circulation of knowledge used in the field of education; (iii) the historicity of the disciplines and teaching materials; (iv) the daily life and multiple spatialities of school teaching institutions; (v) the curriculum and their intentions [explicit and implicit]; (vi) disciplinary practices in the school environment; (vii) the discourses produced about the school and (viii) and the relationships that teachers and students establish with the media. The texts, although different in their propositions and methodologies, converge in the reflection on the material and immaterial aspects of School Culture, refute the idea of ​​school as a homogeneous institution, value the historicity of educational phenomena and foster an interesting interdisciplinary dialogue. Considering the proposal of Public Notice N. 04/2021 (AGECOM-UFMS), it brought together authors who research School Culture within the State of Mato Grosso do Sul. In this regard, the only exception corresponds to the chapter on media habits of students and teachers, which presents data from a national survey.
