Um estudo sobre o Projovem Urbano Maceió, Alagoas na perspectiva do sujeito-aluno partícipe do programa

Abstract

The work of research within the Master in Education of the Federal University of Alagoas, focused on the Projovem Urbano in Maceió, Alagoas considering the period 2005-2015. We aimed at considering the subjects-students participating in the Program as the fundamental interlocutors of the research, to understand, from their narratives, the relation of importance regarding participation in the course and the proposal to increase schooling, professional qualification and participation citizen that the Projovem intends to develop. The treatment of the problem takes as a theoretical framework Certeau (1982, 1994), Oliveira (2009), Carrano (2007), Arretche (2007), Freire (1993), Saviane (2003), Silva (2011), Abramovay (2015), among others, taking place in a qualitative approach, taken to Ludke and André (1986) and Thompson (1992). According to the interviews, the subjects point to the existence of a very significant relevance of the Program to their lives, especially in relation to the following categories: completion of Primary Education, professional qualification, initial character and citizen participation. The analysis shows that most students do not pursue their studies after participating in the program, which constitutes a barrier to entry into the formal labor market. Although in the speeches of the subjects interviewed, a recurrent appreciation of the teacher's performance in the entire course development process and, consequently, in the construction of knowledge, the interviews show that they point to structural failures in the Program. The present work was carried out with the support of the Coordination of Improvement of Higher Education Personnel - Brazil (CAPES) - Financing Code 001.
