Abstract

CARVALHO, Maria João. Multirationality in the organisational context of schools. Rev. Port. de Educação [online]. 2011, vol.24, n.2, pp.33-57. ISSN 0871-9187.

The study of rationality in educational organisations, particularly schools, has decision making as an underlying problem. The denial of a monistic and absolute conception of rationality opens up the possibility of distinguishing among various forms of rationality. Such a possibility presupposes a multiple focused framework in the study of schools viewing both bureaucratic and anarchic models as a theoretical account that integrates differing sorts of power.

Keywords : Decision; Bureaucratic rationality; Multirationality.
