Reformas curriculares e os desafios da coordenação de um curso de ciências contábeis diante da gestão do projeto político pedagógico

Abstract

The Pedagogical Political Project is presented as an instrument of academic management, pointing alternative paths and establishing commitments in search of an IES identity and the course it offers. Therefore, the PPP is instituted from intentional actions with an explicit sense and a commitment defended collectively. This study was intended for knowing and analyzing the way of acting of a coordinator of an Accounting Sciences course facing the construction process of the Pedagogical Political project as a response to the curricular changes instituted, and therefore, to point out challenges, difficulties and progress originating from it. For this, a descriptive research was performed with a qualitative approach. The data were obtained from interviews and document analysis. A participative leadership style and democratic management of the coordination of the investigated course was observed, as well as the decentralization of the pedagogical management effort using strategies and actions looking for the involving everyone in the curricular decision making process. Actions such as the creation of deliberative instances, pedagogical meetings, meetings and other participative actions were detected. Delegating functions and implementing changes in the course indicate that the exercise of autonomy and participation are the most valued pillars by the coordination. Despite the intentions and the participative actions in the construction of the PPP, there are challenges to be overcome by the course coordination such as implementing a competence curriculum with a vision focused in the labour market not in the market, a vision still present in DCNs. The desired profile for the accountant currently demands reviewing the curricula theory and adopted methodologies for increasing the learning process and student development. It is concluded that a participative leadership style allows knowledge mobility, professional and interpersonal experiences that promote the engagement of everybody in the academic activities and results, motivating them to accept the challenges of the path towards the scientifical and technological formation of students. However, this pedagogical manager profile shall be related to a complex and systemic scientific paradigm and with a question and doubt pedagogy that allows the interaction and dialogue between disciplines and actors involved, transforming static and conservative academic spaces into dynamic, democratic and transforming spaces
