Abstract
Findings of a qualitative research developed from a hermeneutic paradigm are presented. This paradigm is related to the dynamics of power that underlie teachers ’ discourse about the asymmetric intersubjective relationship which appears between headmasters and teachers of high schools from the Araucania region at the South of Chile. The participants were 14 headmasters and 48 teachers. Data collection was made using focus groups with headmasters and in- depth interviews with teachers. Data reduction was made though the coding process, open and axial, using the Atlas Ti 6.2 software. Findings show the existence of an intersubjective relationship which evidence exercising the power and control from the headmasters towards teachers. Furthermore, there is violence in the mechanisms that are articulated from the administrative organization. Participants recognized the systematic discursive practices of symbolic violence, which damage their professional quality, in the action of headmasters of high schools.
Highlights
Is bad, what is true or what is false [16]
There were 48 teachers researched, who are distributed by 14 particular high schools which receive subsidy from the government from the Cautín province, in the Araucanía region at the south of Chile
The current educational system established by the new political lineaments valid in Chile allows that the teacher will be regularized by means of his lesson plans, because in that way the public politics of the Chilean educational system are promoted, doing his work in a prescriptive, methodical and instrumental way, giving way to this mechanism of power will be supervised by state agents, developing symbolic violence in the demands o f deadlines and documents
Summary
Is bad, what is true or what is false [16]. To Bourdieu, the educational subject is a radical problem of control from the symbolic capital. The code «direct supervisions» of headmasters shows the vertical communication that is established between headmasters and teachers, exerting a «subtle pressure» of power in the shelter of relationships of force which are imposed on one of them and supported by the institutionalization.
