Projetos escolares: aproximando a juventude periférica do ensino superior – documentário

Abstract

This work is an educational product in the form of a documentary, highlighting the role of school projects developed by a high school to bring together and motivate students from the outskirts to enter public and private universities, either through their ENEM score or through entrance exams, using testimonies from former and now university students, school managers and teachers. The objective of this educational resource is to provide elementary school teachers with teaching material in audiovisual format, in order to address topics such as social inequality, culture, ideology, perceptions of public schools, academic success, among others, in addition to promoting debates on life perspectives and discussing issues related to the future prospects of students from the outskirts of cities. Although it is originally aimed at the subjects of Sociology and Citizenship Education, it can also be adapted to other areas of elementary education. To produce the documentary, it was necessary to combine bibliographical research and fieldwork, using quantitative data obtained through Google forms, semi-structured interviews and focus groups, involving students accepted into universities, administrators and teachers. The analysis focused mainly on measuring the impact of the school projects of this school in question on the performance of candidates participating in the ENEM and UECE editions between 2018 and 2023. The systematic creation of a documentary as teaching material makes it possible to introduce new perspectives for the debate on access to university for students from public schools in the outskirts of the city. This process faces significant challenges and the entry of these young people into university represents the overcoming of barriers that previously prevented them from achieving the much-desired higher education, which is commonly referred to in sociology as "atypical successes"
