VIDAS DE ADOLESCENTES EM VULNERABILIDADE: HISTÓRIAS DE VIDA ESCOLAR E PROJETO DE VIDA NO CONTEXTO DO AJA/MS

Abstract

This research aimed to understand the school trajectories and professional life projects of the adolescents assisted by the Young Advancement in Learning Project, from Mato Grosso do Sul (AJA / MS), which was implemented in this state in the year 2016 with the objective of assisting adolescents from 15 to 17 years who are in situation of distortion age-year. One of the hypotheses that guided this work was that factors external to the school interfere in the conception of school experience and also influence the construction of the professional life project. For data collection, an open interview was used, containing two questions: one related to school life and another to the project of professional life. There were 6 participants. The theoretical-methodological basis that led to the conceptions and analyzes exposed in this research is based on Historical-Cultural Psychology, whose philosophical foundation is based on Historical-Dialectical Materialism. From this theoretical current, developed by Vygotsky and his contemporaries (Leontiev, Luria among others), school education is important to promote the development of the individual, considering that he lives in a literate society. In this perspective, adolescence, the period in which the research subject is, presents itself as a phase that must be seen beyond its biological characteristics, in which school education is essential for the subject to reach the process of forming concepts . The analysis indicates that several factors, such as violence and unfavorable socioeconomic situations, influence the relationship with the school, and that the project of professional life is often based on the accomplishment of a university course without, however, a deepening in the knowledge of what this course means. It is considered that the student discourses express a subjectivity that should not be seen without observing the context in which it was constituted, besides the differences that can influence the educational trajectories and the professional projects.
