This article was written based on a Master’s dissertation, seeking foundation in the current legislation and in the Institutional Political Project (IPP), the current management process of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio de Janeiro (IFRJ) - Nilopolis Campus in regards to the assumptions of democratic management. The questions that guided the study were: (a) To what extent teachers of IFRJ - Nilopolis Campus understand the meaning of democratic management? (b) To what extent teachers, students, parents and guardians participate effectively in the current management? and (c) To what extent the current school management has been putting into practice democratic management's assumptions? To obtain the study data a survey of current legislation, as well as various documents of the institution, was carried out. Different instruments were also applied, namely questionnaires to students and teachers and interview script to the general management. The study results indicated that most teachers did not have a broad understanding regarding the meaning of democratic management, as recommended in current legislation and in the institution IPP. It was evident, too, the lack of knowledge of many teachers on the issues involved in the democratic management. The research showed that the participation of students, teachers, parents and guardians in the current management was in its early stages. Thus, the assumptions of democratic management have been partially put in place by the current management. In the study recommendations are made with the purpose of promoting the practice of democratic management in IFRJ - Nilopolis Campus.
