This work is part of the line of research State, History and Educational Policy, from the Program of Pos-Graduation in the School of Education of the Federal University of Goiás and aims to understand the concepts of participation that have been developing in the social practices of institutionalized education, present in the scientific journal Educação & Sociedade. For this reason, we begin with the understanding that a conceptual category must apprehend the social reality, outlining the processes and structures that make it historically. This understanding is based on the contribution theoretical and methodological developed by Karl Marx and corroborated by István Mészáros. From this perspective, there was research about the theoretical development and elements socio-historical that determine the concept of participation on the liberal theories that problematize the relation individual and society in modernity. Such theories conceive the isolated and self-sufficient individual constituted by social relations inherent to the mode of capitalist production and reproduction, and mystify the ancient principles of freedom and equality mediators of this relationship, as well as reveal the representative participation as a concept of bourgeois liberal democracy. It brings also the critique of this meaning of the isolated individual and their participation reified, made by Marx, when discussing the idea of social being and the work as a mediating category of fundamental relationship between individual and society. On this perspective, Marx, rescuing history, traces the understanding of the liberal principles of equality and freedom, and therefore the very concept of participation. In Mészáros this concept is understood as the power of making decisions that change the forms of social relations. To understand the present conceptions of participation in Educação & Sociedade were consulted all the numbers of this journal from the first, published in 1978, until 2010. 61 articles were selected which themed the category participation. The analysis made showed that the concept of participation, which underlies the institutional practices of education, is understood as "management technique" applied to local processes of implementation of the educational policies. This conception is afforded by the policies of decentralization that keeps centralized the power of decision making, decentralizing only the implementation tasks that begin to require a controlled and cohesive participation with the structural processes of the society. In this form of participation, signals a process of reification of social subjects without power of decision that in this work was called reified participation. In contrast to this view, there is a conception, defended by the analyzed authors of articles, of a socio-political participation with effective power of decision making for the social working individuals.
