A escola enquanto contexto de desenvolvimento: um estudo ecológico em uma comunidade ribeirinha na Ilha do Marajó

Abstract

The present research has as focus of analysis the school of a riverine community, and aims to analyze it while context of development of children and youth who live there, in order to understand how the characteristics of this context make possible and/or impose limits to the development of the students attended by the school. Comprising a theoretical-methodological tuned with principles of the ecological approach, this research uses the methodology of the ecological insertion. In this direction, it was evidenced the contexts that could limit or propitiate the development of the children who frequent the school. As result was synthetically pointed out, the fact that the links of the systemic net that connect the microsystem school to the mesosystem and exosystem do not have resistance enough to guarantee the development in the minimum satisfactory levels when compared with other schools in the urban centre, therefore the conditioning weight from different natures - historical, geographic, politics, legal, social, cultural, the one that the children are displayed, in this web of relationships, distant, excessively, from the standards found - without great effort, in the urban center, supposedly developed. That is, the precarious school attendance, materialized in the learning of the reading, writing and accomplishment of the basic mathematical operations as well as the descontextualized teaching of the local reality contributes for the maintenance of the way of life of that riverine community.
