Analysis of obstacles and barriers to change and Innovation in collaboration in secondary schools: a case study
Abstract
The aim of this study is to analyze the issues and controversies that arise in a secondary school that affect the development of planning and management procedures based on cooperation, aiming to progress and improvement. The methodology of the study consists of biographical and narrative techniques applied in three phases: individual and group interviews, analysis of meetings, recordings from sessions of a Training Program and discussions of several topics; and final individual interviews to monitoring members involved in the analysis. The study includes the participation of teachers, students, the school counselor, the executive board, the coordinator of the working group and a student who was working in the school as part of an internship during the academic year. The results show several issues and conflicts of a contextual and strategic nature that prevent the development of cooperative work with a philosophy based on equity and general development.
