Exclusão escolar e exclusão na escola: um estudo com crianças no sertão alagoano

Abstract

The present research discusses about the exclusion among children in the school context. The objective was to understand how exclusion takes place in children's relationships, seeking to analyze the main factors that make this paradigm to be identified among pairs, in what way the relationships between children can generate exclusion, and which kids are more affected by it. To achieve these results, we developed an empirical research with children, from 7 to 8 years old, students of the second year of elementary school, from a public school in the backwoods of Alagoas, during a period of 5 months of observation in the institution. We used two different and complementary methodological tools, such as: observations in the school and workshops (which aimed to understand exclusion by the look and children's narratives), with the participation of 7 children. With their help and with the intentionality of the activities proposed for the group, we identified manifestations of school exclusion and exclusion in school. We perceive that the exclusion lived and practiced in childhood is beyond the educational space, involving political, economic and social dimensions, presenting itself in the educational field through prejudice, mainly concerning the issues of gender, race and disability, and it could be more expanded by the lack of pedagogical policies and methodologies that value the subjectivities and potential of children.
