Escolarização, adolescência e a ubiquidade do entretenimento: práticas curriculares para o Ensino Médio no Brasil

Abstract

ABSTRACT The present study seeks to analyze the changes in curricular practices aimed at the schooling of adolescents in southern Brazil. When questioning the infrastructure of these practices, the training purposes, the guiding rationalities and the training provisions that re-elaborate the concept of class were described. The empirical corpus that referenced this study consists of a set of eight episodic interviews carried out with teachers and pedagogical coordinators who work in high school. In a society in permanent transformation, in which the subjectivities of these students and their relations with the school receive a new set of investigations, the models of educational innovation that are intensely disseminated are based on processes of pedagogical aestheticization. In this context, it can be concluded that the emerging pedagogies for teenagers’ schools, specifically in High School, are governed by two guiding rationales: sometimes linked to the management of learning towards performance on standardized tests, sometimes in tune with creative, interactive strategies and fun with a focus on the ubiquity of entertainment.
