So the school moves away from its purpose, which is to promote independence and social emancipation. Habermas proposes communicative rationality as a more ample model of rationality, because he considers any congregation of society as a consensual and intersubjective community, in which peoples have voice and each person has him moment, and all inner truth – received or produced – is a liable speech to review and critique and, in political context, cam promote social emancipation. In this perspective the school is considered a community intersubjective and consensual that can incorporate in their pedagogical practice a communicative action and act critically to promote intellectual freedom, the political maturity and the involvement of its agents with the transformation of society.

The objective of this research is investigate the rationality according to Habermas perspective thinking about the communicative action in organizational culture of school. The methodology is qualitative and the consisted in a literature search.
