Abstract

This work belongs to the research topic named Politics and Management in Education of the Graduate and Master Programs of the Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, Brazil, and it is focused on the investigation of the school labor management and organization. The purpose is, then, to analyse the school labor organization experience in the Escola de Educação Básica of the Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, in the period of 1997 and 2003, according to the educational politics in the neoliberalism context and also to the education management models. Firstly, a bibliographic and documental investigation was conducted in order to, from the guidelines produced in the neoliberal social-political-economic field, coming across the redefinition of the State and the consolidation of the public politics in the world and in Brazil, contextualize the changes in the labor s world and their interference in the labor s process management. After that, by understanding how the national education politics has been constituted and by identifying which genres of relation have been established between the State and the society, the different approaches in the school management field are analysed, as well as how this management has been configured in the main proposals of the school labor organization implemented by educational projects like Escola Cidadã, Escola Plural, Escola Candanga e Escola Sagarana. Finally, by rebuilding the first school labor organization movements of the Escola de Educação Básica of the Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, according to the perspectives of the documents produced by its authors, the process of discussion developed during the implementation of the Learning Cycles and Human Development (Ciclos de Aprendizagem e Desenvolvimento Humano) is analysed. In the end of this study about the ESEBA-UFU experience, it is possible to conclude that, despite the contradictions found in its interior and the difficulties found during the process of implementation of the learning cycles, this institution had a large perception of the investigated shafts school labor organization, learning and teaching process, conception about the student and the teacher, evaluation and conception of education , sometimes close to and sometimes far from the democratic approach of school labor management.
