Tempos de diálogo : o olhar dos jovens sobre suas experiências no ensino médio integrado do IFRS

Abstract

This dissertation aims to analyze multiple dimensions of dialogue among young students of High School at Instituto Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (IFRS), Brazil, in order to identify difficulties to promote listening, as an educative and human practice, which crosses school cultures. The problem of the research – which intends to investigate how youth realize and mean dialogue in High School at IFRS in Campus X, Y, and Z – is justified by the increasing academic studies that point out several senses attributed to dialogue by youth in High School. Theoretical support for this research is based on concepts related to certain authors, such as Dayrell (2003, 2006, 2009, 2011 e 2014), Carrano, (2000, 2009), Sposito (2002), Stecanela (2006, 2010, 2013, 2016), Pais (1990, 2003 e 2005), Tomazetti (2014), Scklickmann (2010, 2012, 2014), Buber (1977, 2009), Carbonara (2013), Gadamer ( 2002, 2004, 2007), Freire (1980, 1992, 2002, 2009), Hermann (2014), for they contribute with their studies in education, sociology, and filosofy. As for the methodological procedures based on qualitative research in Education, it is adopted the technique of Focal Groups, that proposes to listen and discuss a certain subject among the participants based on Barbour (2009), Gondim (2002), Melo and Araújo (2010). while analyzing the narratives on focal groups and guided by Discursive Text Analysis, according to Moraes and Galiazzi (2006, 2011), thirteen thematic subcategories emerged, and they indicate elements that are parts of day to day of Integrated High School, but they are not always realized by their authors. These subcategories are: Youth: a state of spirit; An interconnected generation: the fear of being alone; The generational meeting: the older ones as references for juvenile relationships; A distinct high school; From engagement to compensation; The “thinking about”: an exercise for a critics conscientious; An interdisciplinary curriculum; Performable culture: a new school culture; Dialogue as a mean of approaching; Denying listening: an oppressor act; Listening and being listened; and The opportunity of learning from the group. Research results point out that, against hypothesis usually found, young people make narratives in presence of dialogue and significant practices. Besides it was possible to identify within participant school institutions a performable engaged youth, which aims to be recognized in a distinct and compensatory High School, as related to other institutions that offer this final step of Basic Education.
