Resumo: | This article proposes a reflection about the intrinsic relationship between democracy and education, particularly in the aspects related to the participation of students in the school decisions. In this sense, and within the sphere of the autonomy regime of Portuguese schools it is important to identify the formal and informal spaces afforded to the youngsters in decision-making inside the school in order to understand the latter's role in stimulating and developing youngsters for the exercise of an active citizenship. The democratic lifestyle is constructed through learning opportunities about itself, namely through participative experiences within the school context. In 2009 we carried out a study as part of a master dissertation in the Sciences of Education at the University of Aveiro, Portugal, at two public schools of basic education belonging to the Aveiro Council spanning a population of 240 pupils from the 8th and 9th years of schooling and fourteen class delegates. The results show that pupils have a feeble participation, both formal and informal, despite the Decree No. 115-A/98 establishing that schools can, within the limits of their autonomy, create and promote spaces for the effective participation of pupils. The analysis of the instruments of autonomy of the schools investigated reveals that pupil participation is still regarded as an ideal, and has yet to be turned into a real undergoing project. We therefore concluded that schools still center decisions in the teachers, pupil participation being only formal, passive, and ritualized. |

Este artigo propõe uma reflexão sobre a relação intrínseca entre democracia e educação, particularmente na vertente relacionada com a participação dos discentes nas decisões da escola. Neste sentido e, no quadro do regime de autonomia das escolas portuguesas, importa identificar os espaços formais e informais que são proporcionados aos jovens na tomada de decisões da vida organizativa da escola para compreendermos o papel desta na promoção e capacitação dos jovens para o exercício de uma cidadania ativa. O modo de vida democrático constrói-se através de oportunidades de aprendizagem acerca do mesmo, nomeadamente pela vivência de experiências participativas no contexto escolar. Em 2009, realizámos um estudo, no âmbito da dissertação de uma dissertação de mestrado em Ciências da Educação da Universidade de Aveiro, Portugal, em duas escolas públicas do ensino básico, do Concelho de Aveiro, abrangendo uma população composta por 240 alunos do 8º e 9º ano de escolaridade e 14 delegados de turma. Os resultados mostram que os alunos possuem uma débil participação formal e informal, apesar de o Decreto-lei n. 115-A/98 prever a possibilidade de cada escola, no âmbito da sua autonomia, poder promover e criar espaços de efetiva participação dos alunos. A análise dos instrumentos de autonomia das escolas estudadas revela que a participação dos alunos é assumida, ainda, como um ideal e não já como um efetivo projeto de concretização. Concluímos, pois, que as escolas ainda mantêm uma centralização das decisões nos professores, verificando-se, por parte dos alunos, uma participação formal, passiva e ritualizada.
