As possíveis relações entre a adaptação discente dos alunos do 6º ano e o fracasso escolar

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of student adaptation in school failure of the 6th grade of Elementary School (EF) from Escola Estadual Geógrafo Milton Santos (EEGMS) wich belongs to the District Coordination 03 of the state of Amazonas education system. Student’s adaptation during transitions between school cycles were the cut between the causes of school failure to guide the analysis of this problem among students entering the 6th grade of Elementary School (EF). School failure was embodied in work by failing rates of the last four years (2010-2014) which gave the size of the problem within the Brazilian educational scenario. These percentages therefore served as evidence of the possible problems that affect students for their entry in the 6th grader of Elementary School (EF). The question that guided the study: What are the main problems posed by the transition from the 5th to the 6th grades students from Elementary School at school EEGMS? The methodology used to conduct the research has a qualitative approach and was carried out from a case study. The research included data collection instruments from semi-structured interviews, document analysis and literature, which presented the position of authors who discuss student adaptation, the transition between school cycles and school failure. This process gave support for the analysis of student adaptation of school failure in the 6th grade of Elementary School considering the process of transition between cycles. The survey results served as a contribution to the construction of an Educational Action Plan, which aims to help the investigated school to reduce the impact of school transitions, especially from the beginning of the final years of the Elementary School, since these impacts have a direct impact on continuity and completion of school life of students.
