Trajetórias de jovens egressos do ensino médio de uma escola pública de Santa Maria e o Enem como ferramenta de inserção social

Abstract

This study is the result of an investigative process, in the form of participatory research, with low-income youth, graduated from a public school in Santa Maria/RS. The object of study is abided to the following problem: how low-income youth in cultural and school disadvantage subvert Enem undemocratic logic, when it devises strategies for school and social inclusion? I assume that the Enem is not, so far, a democratic policy that allows access to low-income youth to public higher education. This question requires a foray into three central themes to the work: inclusion/exclusion, youth and contemporary educational policies. The objective of this research, therefore, is to understand how young people, located in areas of great social deprivation, economic and social standing of disadvantaged, identified from certain habitus and lifestyle (Bourdieu, 1989), graduated in public school can subvert the Enem undemocratic logic, to develop strategies for academic and social integration. Therefore, it was necessary to identify the conditions of juvenile research participants. The choice of the object and the way I approach it, as well as the choice of the school field, in addition to the readings that comprise the chosen field (Sociology of Education) also arise from understanding the social elements present in my life. The methodology used for the study was the participant research. It was held, with young people graduated from high school in a public school in Santa Maria/RS, ten workshops inspired by the experiences of Paulo Freire's crop circle and the option of analytical results of the workshops that produced was the systematization of experiences, so that the learning produced in the circles were not allayed. The research has the prospect of cooperating with the studies on youth and education in Brazil, as well as contributes to the expansion of democratic spaces that welcome and produce collective experiences of new readings of the world.
