Reaction and consent to managerialism in the management of school work

I would firstly like to thank God for allowing me to have this experience. To my wife Catia and my son Leonardo for their support in carrying out this work, and for understanding when I was absent. To my mum, Ana, for her joy and great encouragement. To my friends at PPGE duc, Carlos, Ana and Gabriel for the great strength they gave me during some difficult times and for keeping me company during our training sessions. To my friend João, for his support when I needed it most, and to my friend Sergio Vieira, for his insistence that I take part in the selection process for the PPGEduc academic master's programme. If it hadn't been for him, I certainly wouldn't have had this whole experience.
