ACTION RESEARCH AND PLATFORM MANAGERIALISM FROM THE SÃO PAULO STATE EDUCATION NETWORK

Abstract

Given the trend towards platformization of school education, this article aims to understand the constraints that platform managerialism brings to school management and the educational process, AS WELL AS reflect on possibilities of facing this increasingly hegemonic educational policy guided by the assumptions of private management and the interests of capital. The article was written based on data and analysis from an action research carried out in seven schools in the São Paulo state network, whose objective is to produce a critical and creative implementation of the National Common Curricular Base, the Inova Educação Program and High School Reform, so that schools can give new meaning to these policies based on their territorial, social, economic and cultural reality, as well as develop social quality education with students. The action research realization has shown many limits to the exercise of a different praxis from that which platform managerialism imposes, but it has also indicated the need to construct alternatives based on the contradictions between the confrontation prescribed policy and lived reality production.
