Resumo: | Today, educational management is an expanding scientific field that has been attracting ever more social and political visibility, and it has been the object of a considerable amount of research. In the Portuguese context, over the past two decades there has been a sharp movement to create post-graduate courses, to increase individual and collective research and the number of scientific publications. The growing centrality assumed by the sociological approaches of educational organisations, associated with a vast collection of scientific research and publications, promoted a meta-analysis of a considerable amount of work produced in this area. For this analysis, we selected 80 dissertations all presented within the context of the pioneering Master’s course, and the oldest course in the country on educational management, the Master in «Education Sciences», specialising in «Educational Management», offered by the University of Minho. Of the main trends identified, the most important were: (i) synchronization between the political agenda, professional experience and research interests; (ii) use of a certain theoretical pluralism, mobilizing two or more models of organizational analysis; (iii) the use of a largely qualitative methodology, tending towards the case study method; (iv) mobilizing a meso-approach to school organization, seeking to coordinate micro and macro analytical levels. On a more substantive plane, this study has contributed to discussions on some dilemmas and agendas that, in our opinion, are involved in constructing the object of educational management. |

Nel contesto della realtà portoghese si è osservato, nell’ultimo ventennio, il proliferare di corsi post-laurea, un aumento della ricerca individuale e collettiva ed un maggior numero di pubblicazioni scientifiche. La crescente centralità assunta dagli approcci sociologici alle organizzazioni educative, associata alle numerose ricerche e pubblicazioni scientifiche, ha permesso di sviluppare una meta-analisi su un insieme di opere prodotte in questo campo. Abbiamo selezionato ed analizzato 80 tesi svolte nell’ambito della laurea specialistica pioniera e più antica del Paese nel campo della amministrazione scolastica – la laurea specialistica in «Scienze dell’Educazione», specializzazione in «Amministrazione Scolastica» presso l’Università del Minho (ufficialmente Universidade do Minho). Tra le principali tendenze individuate emergono: (i) la sincronia tra agenda politica, esperienze professionali ed interessi di ricerca; (ii) l’adesione ad un certo pluralismo teorico, mobilitando due o più modelli di analisi organizzativa; (iii) l’uso di una metodologia prevalentemente qualitativa, concentrata sul metodo dello studio di caso; (iv) la mobilitazione di un meso-approccio dell’organizzazione scolastica, volto ad articolare i livelli di analisi micro e macro. Su un piano più sostanziale, questo studio ha inoltre contribuito alla discussione intorno ad alcuni dilemmi e questioni che, dal nostro punto di vista, si ricollegano alla definizione del ruolo dell’amministrazione scolastica.(undefined)LED Edizioni UniversitarieUniversidade do MinhoTorres, Leonor LimaLima, Licínio C.20152015-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/1822/35862eng2037-792410.7358/ecps-2015-011-torrinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-21T12:07:14Zoai:repositorium.sdum.uminho.pt:1822/35862Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:58:07.468657Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
