Conversas com o fracasso escolar: marcas e experiências de uma travessia

Abstract

This essay deals with the topic of School Failure, as marks-crossing and experiments produced in a public school in Juiz de Fora city. The survey was conducted in elementary school (1st. through 5th. grade) during the second semester of 2011. This sets up as an analysis concerning school failure, about the marks that make up the experience in this place and also the events in the investigative field. Besides problematize the issue about the school failure, the purpose of this project is to provoke other ways to say what we are used to seeing in the research field. This research aims at making bubbling up and intensify the forces/reasons that constitute the so-called "school failure". A chatting and conversing text provokes us to think about the edges or sides that lead to the paths between school failure. We were encouraged by the clues produced in a series of documents prepared by the school, which enabled us to think about the school failure in other ways, escaping from the political, educational and socioeconomic dimensions without the intention of denying these dimensions, but this research uses transitions between them. The research is among the marks that affect us and makes us one body, a moving body with and inside the Pedagogy, and with and in the failure in school, and in and with the school. For this research we used the method of mapping to give voice to the field plan. The cartographic research extends not only to the descriptive processes or in the classification of objects. The cartography is concerned to trace the constant process of production. This method allowed us to write another entry in the investigative field, escaping from a planned field, with pre-established borders.
