O práxis - coletivo de educação popular e a universidade em movimento

Abstract

The current work, which was developed trough a qualitative approach, aims to deal with the management dynamics of popular preparation for university entry developed by Práxis – Popular Collective of Education, in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul. In this way, the motivations that collect the agents in this educational space, the undertaken strategies to the activities development and the daily life dynamics of management of Práxis between 2000 e 2005 are the subject matter. The methodology developed was next to the critic epistemology giving primacy to the object analysis like a time and space delimited social construction and, like this, as a constituent part of a historic totality. The study is developed in a movement that seeks to situate the object in a broader historic social context to, then, return to the object and identify its specificities and dynamics of manifestation. It has to be observed that the project seeks to undertake a automanagement vision of management into the formal institution of teaching, the Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, in a process marked by conflicts between this and the institution as like the agents itself. At the same time its possible to identify between the lasts the constitution of a conspicuous management culture of radicalized democracy and the connection between reflection and practice in a dynamics which brings the group near to the anticapitalists contemporaries fights.
