CARVALHO, Maria João de. Exploring the instrumental rationality in the decisions of school organization. Rev. Port. de Educação [online]. 2009, vol.22, n.2, pp.117-140. ISSN 0871-9187.
This is an approach towards the problem of decision making and the rationality which is inherent to it. Constitutive aspects of instrumental rationality are highlighted with the objective of exploring its limits and boundaries whilst admitting other modes of rationality. Importance was given to the way instrumental rationality is propagated within school organization and also to the purposes that it can help. That is why it was important to identify the axiological determinations, interests, logics and objectives that are underlying this form of rationality. In this sense a reflection was made on both decision making and instrumental rationality regarding those behaviours associated to it plus the practices that it stirs up and promotes in the process of school organisation.
