Projeto Político Pedagógico (PPP) e seu poder simbólico: reprodução ou identidade escolar?

Abstract

The research aims to understand the formal guidelines for the design of the Political Pedagogical Project of a school in the municipality of Alfenas, in the State of Minas Gerais. This fundamentally important document establishes the bases, guidelines, objectives, goals and strategies that guide the educational process and guide the institution's pedagogical practice. The relevance of the research is characterized by the analysis around the theoretical references of Bourdieu (2007a), through the concepts of social and school reproduction and symbolic power. The objective is to identify how the Political Pedagogical Project (PPP) reproduces symbolic power relations, in the municipal school researched in 2022, contemplating Bourdieu's theory of reproduction. The methods proposed for analyzing the School Institution document permeate basic instruments that organize qualitative research methodologies, these being the theoretical and bibliographical, documentary bases, based on the instruments and path of ethnographic research such as field research, participant observation. Therefore, the study made it possible to understand the different approaches through theoretical approaches in the light of references to social reproduction, on regulations throughout the educational line of the school institution, demonstrating that the effectiveness of the documentary logic of the Pedagogical Political Project (PPP) can vary considerably from one school to another, depending on the way the PPP is treated and applied in each specific educational context.
