A construção do consenso em políticas públicas: um estudo sobre a gênese do programa de desenvolvimento educacional (PDE) do estado do paraná (2002-2007)

Abstract

Public policies are understood in this study as the result of a democratic process of political- administrative, dynamic and complex, involving political and social actors in a general framework of action where a structure of meaning. The process of political decisions and actions brings into play multiple interests, contradictions, negotiations and a symbolic sustained by ideologies, beliefs and values, which pervades the public policy objectives and impact the social sector to which it is addressed, generating belief, values and confidence. In this research we seek to unveil the process of genesis of public policy, the Educational Development Program (PDE), deployed in the State of Paraná in 2006 with the goal of providing continuing education to teachers Framework Own the Magisterium (QPM), disciplining access of teachers to the last level of the career path of teaching, the PDE level. Considered innovative in both the proposal and the implementation, the PDE/PR, as it is known, leads to questions about the role of actors in the political arena, in a particular social-historical moment marked by clashes, power struggles, interests and negotiations. We consider the conjectures, the performance of three key players in the creation and implementation of PDE/PR: the state government, the union of workers in public education (APP) and state institutions of higher education (IES). In joining forces, the political-social and mutual interests permitted the establishment of a tripod structure, obtained by building political consensus, which led the PDE/PR to the level of permanent program. The research is qualitative, based on primary documentary sources - legal and institutional - as well as interviews conducted with the personalities linked to their stages of planning and implementation. The literature relevant to the disciplines of political science, public administration, sociology of education and training of teachers, selected during the PhD, with additions made in Stage Advanced Scientific beside UMINHO/PT, with support from CAPES, constituted the theoretical reference. The data collected are cataloged on Discursive Formations (FDs) as discourse analysis advocated in Pêcheux, Fairclaough and Orlandi. In closing we used the analytical technique of data triangulation to combine the major constituent aspects of the genesis of the PDE/PR, highlighting different ideological positions, historical, social and political convergent and distinct institutional interests. Accordingly, we conclude with the metaphor Separating the Wheat from the Tares, when we say that the PDE/PR installs itself as a public policy of good governance for a good society. The PDE/PR that caters to specific interests outlined in the political arena, initiated an educational pact that came to ensure peace for the education sector in Paraná historically marked by clashes and power struggles.
