A escola para o jovem: representações de alunos em situação de distorção idade-série no município de Areia Branca-RN
Resumo
This study aims to examine how adolescents in age-grade
and social vulnerability, students of a public school in the
municipality of Areia Branca-RN, realize the educational
institution where they live. The approach of the Social
Representation Theory (SRT) for the theoretical
foundation was adopted. Eight students from the 4th
grade of elementary school were selected with age
between 11 and 13 years. The methodology consisted of
interviews, the application of Free Association of
Technical Words (TALP) and the production of drawings
by students. It was noted that, despite all the difficulties,
the students have researched the school as an element of
transformation and represent it as a fundamental
element to develop as a person. It was also observed that
before so many disagreements these young people still
design a future full of dreams and desires.
