Abstract
The present study shows the role of the school manager in the implementation of active learning methodologies in an educational institution of vocational education in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. Through an online survey with open and closed questions, 33 school managers of this institution answered their actions and orientations related to the topic. It was possible to identify that 73% understand that their priority is to influence people so that they are motivated and mediate the administrative processes to reach the pedagogical ends; 99% of them agree that the manager exerts influence on the motivations and competences of the teachers. Of all, 85% state that the teacher proposes activities that allow solving problems, investigations and simulations, but 36% follow the projects of the students through the report of their team. Of the total, 97% understand that research is the methodological resource used in most classes, but 54% is not clear if teachers present knowledge in situations other than traditional ones. From all, 64% report being present at various moments in the educational discussions but, in relation to an unjustified reprobation, 33% understand that the student should retake the test and do not identify other evaluation instruments. Based on the results, it was observed that these managers acquired a repertoire for the identification and discussion of active methodologies, but still have conceptual doubts and most are not very close to the classroom, to identify, in fact, what methodology chosen by the teachers under their management.
