Um olhar sobre a contribuição da escola no processo de formação social e na construção da cidadania dos alunos

This study aims to analyze the contribution of teachers and a public school of the state education network in the social and citizenship formation, of the Elementary School students in Minas Gerais. In order to put it into effect, and in accordance with the proposed objectives, we chose the theoretical methodological assumptions of a qualitative research, based on the studies of Bodgan and Biklen (1991) Minayo (2010) and Chizzotti (2008-2011). As a data collection strategy, the documentary analysis was used, through the Pedagogical Political Project and the School's Regiment, a questionnaire composed of ten open questions applied to twenty teachers who wanted to participate in the research, and to the management team. A round of conversation with the students of the 9th grade of Elementary School was also held. The aim of this study was to promote an understanding of how school can contribute to the formation of students' citizenship in multiple dimensions. Many impasses are noted in relation to the commitment of the school and the teachers to the social formation or the citizen practices contextualized within the school routine. We may consider that the school alone is not prepared to train active and critical students in an unjust and unequal society. This is a collective work, which must also be developed by the family, society, public policies and government, in a commitment to the common good. Only then will we be able to form critical, conscious, thinking citizens capable of changing society's directions and leading the ways of humanity.

Para efetivação deste e em conformidade com os objetivos propostos, optou-se pelos pressupostos teórico-metodológicos de uma pesquisa qualitativa, sustentada nos estudos de Bodgan e Biklen (1991) Minayo (2010) e Chizzotti (2008; 2011).  Como estratégia de coleta de dados, utilizou-se a análise documental, por meio do Projeto Político-Pedagógico e o Regimento da escola, um questionário composto por dez questões abertas aplicado para vinte professoras que quiseram participar da pesquisa, e à equipe gestora. Foi realizada também uma roda de conversa com os alunos do 9° ano do Ensino Fundamental. Pretendeu-se neste estudo, promover uma compreensão sobre como a escola pode contribuir para a formação da cidadania dos alunos em múltiplas dimensões. Muitos impasses são notados em relação ao compromisso da escola e dos professores com a formação social ou as práticas cidadãs contextualizadas no interior do cotidiano escolar. Podemos considerar que a escola sozinha não está preparada para formar alunos atuantes e críticos em uma sociedade injusta e desigual, este é um trabalho coletivo, que deve ser desenvolvido também pela família, pela sociedade, pelas políticas públicas e pelos governantes, num compromisso pelo bem comum. Só assim seremos capazes de formar cidadãos críticos, conscientes, pensantes, capazes de mudar os rumos da sociedade e conduzir os caminhos da humanidade. &nbsp
