Educational management and cognitive and normative references in public policy

This study aims to understand the cognitive and normative matrix developed by the dynamics between the agents involved of educational actions from a reference represented by the Education Plan. This is an empirical and inductive research using the theoretical framework of cognitive analysis of public policies from the perspective of public action. The study identified that educational management can be understood as an interactive dynamic space moved by axes that determine decision-making. It can be seen as a structure consisting of agents, processes of mobilization of resources, repertoire of action, representations, institutions, and results.
