Na realização desta dissertação, o objetivo principal relacionou-se com a
abordagem da temática da liderança de uma escola de Música, especificamente
por parte da Direção Pedagógica. Pretendeu-se verificar se esta figura possui,
realmente, um papel central na definição da política educativa, como é a sua
coexistência com os órgãos administrativos da escola, se consegue promover o
envolvimento dos demais elementos da comunidade nos objetivos que define para
a instituição e se o género do Diretor Pedagógico terá implicações na forma de
liderança. Tentou-se também aferir da existência de estilos de liderança
específicos do desempenho desta função.
Este trabalho divide-se em duas partes que se pretendem complementares. Na
primeira parte é feito um enquadramento do ensino da Música em Portugal, das
estruturas organizativas e de vários conceitos e tipos de liderança, tendo como
base a revisão da literatura consultada.
Na segunda parte faz-se a apresentação do objeto de estudo, das questões de
investigação e dos dados obtidos. A metodologia seguida foi a de um estudo de
caso implementado em duas escolas do ensino especializado da Música – uma do
ensino vocacional particular e cooperativo (que será designada por Academia de
Música Vocacional) e uma do ensino profissional (que será identificada como
Escola Profissional de Música). A concluir, são apresentadas as ilações alcançadas com o estudo de caso, que
procuram responder às questões de investigação colocadas.
In carrying out this thesis, the main purpose is to address the issue of leadership of a Music school by the Pedagogical Direction. It is intended to confirm if the figure of the Pedagogical Director has, indeed, a central role in defining the educational policy, how does it coexist with the administrative bodies of the school, if it can promote the involvement of the other community members in defining goals for the institution and if the gender of the Pedagogical Director has implications in the way of leadership. One also tries to understand if there are specific leadership styles in the performance of this task. This work is divided into two parts which are to be complementary. In the first part a framework is made of the teaching of Music in Portugal, in terms of organizational structures and several concepts and types of leadership concepts, based on a review of the available literature. In the second part it is made the presentation of the object of study, research questions and collected data. The methodology followed is that of a case study implemented in two music specialized schools – one from the private and cooperative vocational education system (that will be designated by Academia de Música Vocacional) and one from the professional education system (which will be identified as Escola Profissional de Música). In conclusion, one demonstrates some of the conclusions obtained in the study case, seeking to answer the research questions.
