Representações cotidianas: uma proposta de apreensão de valores sociais na vertente marxista de produção do conhecimento

Propoe-se um arcabouco teorico-metodologico, na vertente marxista de construcao do conhecimento, para compreensao de valores sociais pela captacao de representacoes cotidianas. Pressupoe-se que a investigacao cientifica congrega diferentes instâncias: epistemologica, teorica e metodologica, que coerentemente as demais instâncias propoem um conjunto de procedimentos e tecnicas operacionais de apreensao e analise da realidade em estudo, expondo o objeto investigado. O estudo de valores revela a essencialidade da formacao de juizos e escolhas; ha valores que refletem a ideologia dominante, perpassando todas as classes sociais, mas tambem ha valores que refletem os interesses de classe, esses nao sao universais, sao constituidos nas relacoes e atividades sociais. Fundamentando-se na teoria marxista da consciencia, as representacoes cotidianas constituem formulacoes discursivas, opinativas ou de conviccao, emitidas por sujeitos sobre sua realidade, mostrando-se coerente forma de compreensao e exposicao de valores sociais: grupos focais mostram-se apropriados para apreender opinioes enquanto entrevistas demonstram potencialidades para expor conviccoes.We propose from the Marxist perspective of the construction of knowledge, a theoretical and methodological framework for understanding social values by capturing everyday representations. We assume that scientific research brings together different dimensions: epistemological, theoretical and methodological that consistently to the other instances, proposes a set of operating procedures and techniques for capturing and analyzing the reality under study in order to expose the investigated object. The study of values reveals the essentiality of the formation of judgments and choices, there are values that reflect the dominant ideology, spanning all social classes, but there are values that reflect class interests, these are not universal, they are formed in relationships and social activities. Basing on the Marxist theory of consciousness, representations are discursive formulations of everyday life - opinion or conviction - issued by subjects about their reality, being a coherent way of understanding and exposure social values: focus groups show is suitable for grasping opinions while interviews show potential to expose convictions.

Valores sociais: com a palavra a juventude

Objective: To identify the different positions of young students in relation to expressions about contemporary social values. Methods: A descriptive study using a quantitative approach, we used a spreadsheet to assign the positions of 229 students between 15 and 19 years, participants in 29 focus groups conducted in ten schools in four dissimilar regions in the city of Santo Andre (SP), Brazil. Young people positioned themselves regarding the agreement - doubt or disagreement - over a set of value-laden expressions sorted and discussed in groups. These positions were analyzed according to their frequencies. Results: First, we identifi ed a certain degree of uniformity of viewpoints, as a consequence of generational experience of assimilation of values disseminated in society; on the other hand, heterogeneity was evidenced that exposed inherent contradictions of the different social contexts surrounding these youths. Conclusion: We identifi ed values that differed among youths pertaining to different social groups while encountering others that did not. There was more heterogeneity than homogeneity in opinions about the evaluative expressions used.
