Queixa escolar: uma revisão crítica da produção científica nacional

In this work we review Brazilian scientific publications between 2002 and 2012 on School Complaints, in order to critically analyze their main features and the aspects which are associated with generating a school complaint. We developed a systematic search in three bibliographic databases (SCIELO PEPSIC and the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations) using the two key words in Portuguese ‘queixa escolar’ and ‘queixas escolares’. Initially 35 publications were found and, after pre-analysis, 21 papers remained: 13 articles and 8 master’s theses. The studies were analyzed, taking their main characteristics and aspects related to generating a School Complaint in account. The results show that the predominating theoretical reference frame in the studies was Socio-historical Psychology and Critical School Psychology, with a dialectic and wide approach of school complaints, considering the historical, socio-cultural, institutional and political-economic dimensions of the social network in which the school complaints emerge.

Ser quilombola: representações sociais de habitantes de uma comunidade negra

This study intended to acknowledge the social representations of black community inhabitants about their own community, located in the north of Bahia. Twenty members of Tijuacus black community took part in it, both men and women. The age range was from 12 to 41 years old. In order to do so, a Completing Phrases List was used, containing eleven incomplete phrases, focusing on the following themes: the place, the inhabitants, the supposed way others see it, the women, the men, the elders, the young, the children, being a black community inhabitant, the blackness, the future. The phrases were analyzed theme by theme, had being grouped according to the meaning similarity. The results indicated that through oral tradition, a historical commitment toward black community resistance has been established. They also indicated that the elder ones are responsible for spreading and maintaining the more ancient and stable representations, on which new knowledge is based. The results emerged the understanding that the black community inhabitant faces life adverse conditions assuming a double task (individual and collective): both assuring his own survival (concerning his family too) and strengthening black community fight against prejudice and discrimination. The results also suggested new research possibilities on researching and reflections about diversity within black population.

Reconhecimento de direitos e significados de infância entre crianças

This study intended to investigate whether children acknowledge some of their rights, which knowledge about their rights are shared among them and what are the meanings of childhood these sharings indicate. It is a comparative study guided by the social-historical psychological approach of which data were analyzed qualitatively. The participants consisted of 21 children, aging from 9 to 11 years old. Seven children were students in a private urban school, seven studied in a public urban school, and seven studied in a public school located in the countryside. The individual semi-structured interview technique was used, based on the presentation of printed images. Rights referring food and nourishment, education and playing were the most acknowledged by children. Concerning to the interdicted childish working or the right referring inviolability of the physical integrity, they demonstrated different ways of sharing.This study intended to investigate whether children acknowledge some of their rights, which knowledge about their rights are shared among them and what are the meanings of childhood these sharings indicate.

School Complaints and the Educational Self: Openings for the Medicalization of School Difficulties

The aim was to understand the production conditions for medicalised subjectivity, by identifying the nexus between the school complaint and the educational self, through teacher narratives. What we report here concerns our initial immersion in this field of study and is the result of observations, impressions and an analysis of the interviews and focus group conducted with teachers from a publicly-funded school. Working hypotheses and the outline of a perspective that takes into account the historicity, socio-cultural context and socio-interactive dynamic emerged from this process. Eight teachers from a Primary School located in an inland municipality in the State of Bahia (Brazil) participated in the study. Teacher narratives were recorded and then transcribed. Their content was submitted to successive readings, during which we conducted a dialogue between the empirical and the theoretical in order to identify meanings and specific themes. During this process, we created certain indicator categories for the nexus between culture, school complaint and educational self. From this, we consider it possible to locate the necessary openings for the emergence of the pathologisation—of non-learning and of behaviour considered deviant—and of the subsequent medicalisation of the educational self. In sum, when seeking to identify connections between the school complaint and the educational self, we find important openings in the teachers’ narratives for the emergence of the medicalisation of difficulties arising from the schooling process.

Seven children were students in a private urban school, seven studied in a public urban school, and seven studied in a public school located in the countryside. The individual semi-structured interview technique was used, based on the presentation of printed images. Rights referring food and nourishment, education and playing were the most acknowledged by children. Concerning to the interdicted childish working or the right referring inviolability of the physical integrity, they demonstrated different ways of sharing.This study intended to investigate whether children acknowledge some of their rights, which knowledge about their rights are shared among them and what are the meanings of childhood these sharings indicate.
