Sociabilidades juvenis: conflitos e desigualdades socioespaciais – escola de ensino médio público regular e profissionalizante

Abstract

In this work I aim to analyze the universe of youth sociabilities and explore the possible social inequalities and consequences of them, creating conflicts in school. This study was based on the educational theoretical panorama of the youth and their experiences in the context of public high school, at educational institutions in Brazil, specifically in the metropolitan region of Fortaleza and in the Baturité massif both in the State of Ceará. I conducted a field research, at first presentially through participant observations at the Dr. Brunilo Jacó Regular Model School and Prof. José Ivanilton Nocrato Preparatory School, and thereafter remote data colelction of the students through application of semi-structured questionnaires, and also focal groups and round of conversations. I examined the information to consubstantially materialize the research with individual accounts that encompass youth groups, running through school contexts that give outlines to violence among young people in thei schools. I observed that the differences between the regular model and the professional institution, in the system of public educational policies in Ceará, mediated by the cutting of the two schools, are part of a complex framework of social inequities, once that asymmetry is a fertile territory for conflicts amid the cultural peculiarities of the youth and their sociabilities in the school spaces researched here. As a pedagogical intervention, I proposed that schools should be able to build together with their councils, partner institutions and the community in the territories where schools are located, a democratic area of decision-making as a permanent listening observatory and permanent host, promoting multiple continuous inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary discussions on conflicts, promoting mediation and timely continuous formation of a school environment for the culture of non-violent communication and coexistence with social and cultural differences.
