THE PARTICIPATION OF PARENTS OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION IN THE CEMEI'S OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF PARANAGUÁ IN THE PANDEMIC

Abstract

The present work aimed to analyze the participation of parents in the pedagogical management of schools that offer Early Childhood Education in the municipality of Paranaguá, and its implications before and during the pandemic period caused by Covid-19. The research sought to know the pedagogical management practices in the Early Childhood Education Centers of the municipality of Paranaguá-PR, observing the management instruments created to meet the demand during the pandemic. The intention is to understand how the subjects of the schools reacted to them. This is a qualitative research. The data were collected through an open questionnaire and indicate that in the view of the researched subjects, the concept of participation appears mystified, in which actions such as attending parents at the school door, meetings to pass on administrative information, and participation in social media groups are considered as participation. It was found that there is a pseudo-participation in schools that contributes to emptying the political content of democratic management.
