Abstract

This paper aims to shed light on the debate about a possible democracy not just as an instrument and
method for managing education and schools, to which it has been linked in studies and research in the area, but as a process, a principle and a curriculum, thus constituting the relationships that are established in educational processes. To this end, the paper is structured based on Norbert Bobbio’s theoretical approach, which explores the concept of democracy as a principle, or education of and for democracy, and continues with brief analyses of theoretical references that deal with the idea of democratizing pedagogy, practices and curricula. In order to recognize democracy as an educational objective, the study was also based on a bibliographical survey in the CAPES Periodicals Portal, among works in Portuguese, in order to see how the literature has dealt with the subject. The study concludes by pointing out the need to build democratic processes that have their foundations in education and school administration, which become the principle of relationships and practices that are established in institutions and, especially, lead to democratic education.

Keywords: Educational policies; school administration; democracy; curriculum.
