PLATAFORMIZAÇÃO DA EDUCAÇÃO NO PARANÁ: IMPLICAÇÕES PARA A GESTÃO DEMOCRÁTICA

Abstract

This work analyzes the implications of corporate management practices mediated through digital platforms in teaching and learning processes, focusing on the implementation of democratic management in public schools in Paraná from 2019 to 2024. The choice of this theme is justified by the growing relevance of standardization and centralization in pursuit of efficiency, in accordance with the State's role in education as established in the 1988 Constitution and the National Education Guidelines and Framework Law (LDB) of 1996. The research was conducted through a qualitative study using documentary and bibliographic approaches. The study examines how guidelines from the Paraná State Department of Education (Seed-Pr) have been used as control tools over teaching work and school management, as well as the effects on pedagogical work organization and the principle of democratic management. In the first part, the principles of democratic management as expressed in normative documents are presented, along with their relevance to the right to education. Next, the organization of education in Paraná is discussed, emphasizing the use of digital platforms to improve educational indicators. Finally, we analyze how digital tools and platforms can enhance neoliberal ideology and hinder the implementation of democratic management principles in schools. The results indicate that corporate management practices may compromise teacher autonomy and democratic principles in education, raising questions about the effectiveness of implemented policies.
