RESUMO

This thesis focuses in a construction of a Brazilian school administration profile, linking the authors conceptions in the field with the reality founded in basic public schools. In one hand, the profile comes from analysis of academic researches in Brazil between 1930 e 2004, using the main bibliographic references in the field (until 80s) and researches abstracts from CAPES database. On the other hand, the thesis build a basic school principal and school administration tools profile, using the SAEB/2003 database, collected with enquires in a survey applied in public schools principals, teachers and students, who participated of SAEB 2003. With a theoretical approach of many authors, especially Weber and Bourdieu, this study evaluates the school administration political face, the democratization process, the tools of school administration, the function of principal as politician and its nature, and the ways of domination power presents in school ambient. The comparison of these profiles, supported by theoretical base, suggests the following conclusions: there is strong gender inequality, because the men principals have higher salaries and become to the principal position younger and with less experience than the women principals, and men are in the principal position especially in that schools where the symbolic power is less explicit; the public school administration is being more democratic, but there still is a strong presence of conservative politics and political control over schools and principals; in that schools where the principals were elected, there are school councils which are more active and there are pedagogical projects builded with the staff participation, suggesting that a political education happens in democratic schools; the more experient principals tend to have more disposition to dialogue with the staff and communities than the non experiented principals; the school politics, personalized in principal, is developed in a consensus way between the demands from community and the dispositions of policymakers
