Juventude, escola e mídia: problematizando a (in)acessibilidade das mídias para a construção crítica dos processos de ensino-aprendizagem na rede pública de educação

Abstract

This work was developed from the survey entitled “Adolescence and Youth: risk situation and safety nets in the city of Fortaleza", emphasizing a sample of 100 youths, aged 14 to 17 years, of both sexes, attending the primary and secondary public schools, in state or municipal, as well as rooms of the teaching program for young people and adults (TYA). The objectives are: discuss the concept of youth based on the profile of young people in schools analyzed. Specific objectives: discuss, briefly, the function of training school in the present, as well the uses of media in school, discussing the Internet access to modify some points of the teaching-learning processes. The empirical work was conducted through questionnaires administered collectively. Data analysis was qualitative-quantitative, refining the database to find the socio-demographic profile, the profile of activities that had major and minor interests and, finally, a profile of media use (emphasis on the Internet usage). We conclude that the media has a massive presence in the leisure of young people and that they have difficulties to access the Internet on school territory, although the school demands the use of media for school works.
