O presente estudo está pautado em uma pesquisa que busca analisar as práticas das equipes gestoras nas escolas de uma rede de ensino confessional, concentrado no seguinte questionamento: Existe coerência entre os discursos e as ações das equipes gestoras nas escolas da rede de ensino confessional e de que forma estes discursos e estas ações implicam na práxis docente? Para construção do processo de pesquisa, optou-se por um estudo de caso, com enfoque teórico-metodológico qualitativo, e os instrumentos que estão sendo utilizados para a coleta de dados da pesquisa são a análise de documentos, observações participantes, questionários e entrevistas semiestruturadas. Para a análise dos dados optou-se pela análise de discurso. Os achados da pesquisa demonstram que existem, sim, incoerências que geram aproximações e distanciamentos entre os desejos expressos nos documentos que norteiam as escolas/unidades de ensino da rede de ensino pesquisadas. Essas incoerências perpassam linhas muito mais tênues do que o desejo consciente do gestor e na maioria das vezes surgem sem que o próprio gestor ou as equipes gestoras percebam que ocorreu ou como ocorreu. Existe a necessidade de repensar não só o papel das equipes gestoras e os processos de formação das mesmas, mas também os processos nos quais estas estão inseridas e a forma como estes processos interferem na produção das incoerências encontradas no dia a dia da gestão. / This study is based on a research which seeks to analyze the practices of school management teams in the schools of a network of confessional teaching, concentrated on the following questioning: Is there consistency between the discourse and the actions of the management teams of the schools of the confessional schools network and in what way do this discourse and these actions implicate in the teaching praxis? For the construction of the research process, we opted for a case study with a qualitative theoretical-methodological focus and the instruments which are being used for collecting the data for the research are: analysis of documents, participant observations, semi-structured questionnaires and interviews. For the analysis of the data we opted to use discourse analysis. The findings of the research show that inconsistencies do exist which generate approximations and distancing between the desires expressed in the documents which guide the educational schools/units of the teaching network researched. These inconsistencies permeate lines much more tenuous than the conscious desire of the manager and most of the time arise without the manager him/her self or the managing teams perceiving that it happened or how it happened. There is a need to rethink not only the role of the management teams and the processes of their formation, but also the processes in which they are inserted and how these processes interfere in the production of the inconsistencies found day to day in management.

M.Ed. / The problem in this research lied in the lack of clear guidelines, training and resources in the management of the implementation of inclusion in schools. The research’s aim was to provide guidelines for the School Management Teams in managing the implementation of inclusion in schools. This will be achieved through a qualitative research method. The qualitative research included descriptive and exploratory research methods. The researcher collected data using multiple means of data collection, namely, interviews, survey and observations. The selection comprised of the members of the School Management Teams – the school principal, deputy principal, two Heads of Department and three teachers from each of the five selected schools. The interpretations of data led to the research findings, recommendations and the conclusion. The findings of the study described the participants’ perceptions and experiences of the management of the implementation of inclusion as a process for school improvement. The perceptions and the experiences of the teachers and the principals suggested that the participants had limited understanding, knowledge and skills in managing and implementing inclusion in schools. Thus guidelines for managing the implementation of inclusion were provided. In addition, guidelines for the educational psychologists that could facilitate the successful management of the implementation of inclusion were developed. / Dr. B.V. Nduna
