Little is known about public school educational administrators’ perspectives of democracy and citizenship education and how those perspectives shape the learning that occurs in the schools they lead. This paper presents findings of a qualitative study that used semi-structured interviews of public school educational administrators’ perspectives of democracy and citizenship education in the province of Alberta, Canada. Four participants’ detailed responses were analyzed using an interpretive phenomenological methodology and coded into four themes. While all four participants felt that democratic and citizenship education were important, their conceptualizations varied widely and only one participant was found to lead in a way that encouraged democratically desirable education. Findings suggest that some educational administrators do not necessarily understand their role or responsibility in the education of democracy and citizenship within the schools they lead. Moreover, this study suggests that factors that hinder democratic and citizenship education are: school administrators’ preference to remain obedient to a top-down approach of school management; resource taxing administrative obligations and; a misunderstanding of ‘thick’ democracy. Factors that were found to facilitate democratic and citizenship education include: physical school and learning program design and; democratic school leadership.

This paper deals with the public-school management in Pará state as it has been implemented through the “Pact for Education in Pará”, which is based on the logic of partnerships between the state and the private sector, manifesting a strategy of educational indicators improvement. The question consists of: how the Pact for Education regulatory framework directs the school manager’s action in a public-school setting? The methodology is anchored in bibliographical research, as approached by authors who discuss school management; document analysis, which had an important role regarding the documents from the Pact, such as decrees. Both procedures allowed our analyses, based on a critical and descriptive perspective. Results show that the Pact for Education in Pará regulatory framework drives school managers to have a profile mostly aligned with the figure of an administrator, which demands, surveils and accomplishes goals; in this manner, the job excellence starts with the choice of professionals who work within the managerial logic that has become part of public education in Pará, especially regarding the analyzed legal texts.

The theory of modern school management is developed as part of the general theory of social institutions management. Very important changes are expected in the system of financing and management of education in accordance with modern requirements. The object and subject of management is a person. The article states that the basic principles and regularities of the management process are generally reflected in all public structures. However, when managing any organization at the request of the manager, the management model is applied to this organization and its staff. And modern management models differ in creating conditions for employees. Accordingly, the author considers the importance and relevance of forming their own management model in relation to the organization of education. The author analyzes the management models of various foreign countries, factors that determine the national management model and formulates their main ideas. Қазіргі заманғы мектепті басқару теориясы әлеуметтік мекемелерді басқарудың жалпы теориясының бір бөлігі ретінде дамиды. Заман талабына сай білім беруді қаржыландыру және басқару жүйесінде өте маңызды өзгерістер күтілуде. Басқарудың объектісі мен субъектісі – адам. Мақалада басқару үрдісінің басты ұстанымдары, заңдылықтары барлық қоғамдық құрылымдарда жалпылама түрде кездесетіні жайлы айтылған. Дегенмен кез-келген ұйымды басқару барысында басшының қалауы бойынша сол ұйымға және қызметкерлерге қатысты басқару моделі қолданылады. Ал заманауи басқару модельдері қызметкерлерге жағдай жасау арқылы ерекшеленеді. Сәйкесінше білім беру ұйымына қатысты өзіндік басқару моделін қалыптастыру маңыздылығы мен өзектілігі қарастырылады. Автор әртүрлі шет елдердің басқару моделдеріне, ұлттық басқару моделін анықтайтын факторларға талдау жасайды және олардың негізгі идеяларын тұжырымдайды.

Resumo: Em Portugal, as escolas públicas dos ensinos básico e secundário e os jardins de infância públicos foram, na sua maioria, integrados nos designados Agrupamentos de Escolas. Cada um desses agrupamentos, bem como as escolas que não foram integradas, regem-se por um modelo de administração no qual se sobressaem dois órgãos fundamentais: o Diretor, que é o órgão (unipessoal) de gestão, e o Conselho Geral, que é o órgão (colegial) de direção. Nesse último órgão participam os representantes de diferentes atores e interesses da Comunidade Educativa (internos e externos). O Diretor presta contas pelas suas decisões, quer ao Conselho Geral, quer, sobretudo, ao Ministério da Educação e outros serviços da burocracia do Estado com poder fiscalizador e hierárquico. Mas não apenas. Com efeito, em um contexto em que também é crescente o escrutínio ou controle das famílias e dos stakeholders sobre as escolas e agrupamentos de escolas, sobretudo em relação a resultados acadêmicos mensuráveis, as pressões que se exercem sobre o diretor colocam-no, ainda mais, perante formas diferenciadas (e, não raras vezes, contraditórias) de accountability (isto é, processos ambivalentes e heterogêneos de avaliação, prestação de contas e responsabilização). O foco neste artigo, no entanto, incide no pilar da prestação de contas.Palavras-chave: Gestão escolar. Diretor. Gerencialismo. Prestação de contas.El director como gestor y las diferentes pressiones y dilemas de la rendición de cuentas en la escuela públicaAbstract: In Portugal, public elementary and secondary schools and public kindergartens were mostly integrated into the so-called School Groupings. Each of these school grouping, as well as the schools that were not integrated, are governed by a model of administration in which two fundamental bodies stand out: The Director, who is the management body, and the General Council, which is the collegiate body of direction. The Director is accountable for his decisions to the General Council and above all to the Ministry of Education and other departments of the State bureaucracy, with supervisory and hierarchical power. But not only. Indeed, in a context where there is also increasing scrutiny or control of families and stakeholders on schools and school grouping, especially in relation to measurable academic results, the pressures exerted on the director place him even more in the face of differentiated (and not infrequently contradictory) forms of accountability (i.e., ambivalent and heterogeneous processes of evaluation, answerability, and responsibilization). This article, however, focuses mainly on the pillar of answerability.Keywords: School management. Director. Managerialism. Answerability.The director as manager and the different pressures and dilemas of answerability in the state public school Resumen: En Portugal, las escuelas públicas de la enseñanza no superior y jardines de infancia públicos se han integrado, en su mayoría, en agrupamientos escolares.

ABSTRACT The Principal is a central actor in schools and their formal leader. The public school management model (PSMM) influences his/her leadership style and behaviours. This study intended to analyse Principal’s performance as a leader under the current PSMM, as well as the positive and negative aspects of the model. The data were collected through exploratory interviews with a random systematic sample of 30 Principals with a management experience of at least 4 years. The results showed that Principals seek to find a balance between their role as leaders and managers, privileging delegation and collegiality in team coordination, disagreeing with the current General Council configuration, and underlining the importance of values and ethics in school management. They demand more time for pedagogical management and monitoring, greater autonomy and less bureaucracy and denounce the lack of resources for the management of people, facilities, equipment and services.
