Juventudes e o ensino médio politécnico : a construção do conhecimento : uma outra dialética

Abstract

Youth studies point to a gap between the field of interest of young people and the School, which implies a counterproductive process in education, the basis of which is a preconceived view of the young person to whom the educational structure is destined as a passive and amalgamable individual When, in fact, we understand that there exists a condition opposite to that, that is, of a capable young man, determined and coherent with his time. The educational policies that derive from this vision are at the end an evasive process of the students, since they fail in varying degrees, both in the observation of a concatenated curriculum and teaching procedure and in the understanding and approach of the diverse desires of the young people with school and extracurricular subjects to Which their experience in school could contribute. We understand that this scenario represents, therefore, a school that is outdated for the young, highlighting as a challenge the need to reestablish a dialogue convergent to the interests of these subjects and those of the School. Thus, this study intends to investigate and properly point out the meaning attributed to the School by the young students through the curricular proposal called Polytechnic High School in a state public high school in Porto Alegre and from what can be defined as desirable practices and/or undesirable, and the ways in which they are linked to them or otherwise seek to assert their goals and values, which should, among other things, indicate what we consider as a Youth protagonism.
