Casa das mangueiras: espaço de aprendência no cotidiano de adolescentes com vivência de rua.
Resumen
This research work is a study of case undertaken at Escola Experimental Casa
das Mangueiras, a non-governmental organization created in the 70 s and which
showed to be the pioneer in the development of a pedagogic experience with
teenagers of age ranging between 12 to 17 years old, who committed infractions
to Law. The target of this research was to try to understand the logic which
moves and gives life to the educational action of the teachers belonging to this
institution, as well as, how comes out the process of re-organizing their lives
(boys and girls), who experienced that situation. The empirical data was built
from a spring of the researcher in the daily life of the institution, the notes
made every day in a field diary; interviews were undertaken with the founders of
this non-governmental organization aiming at rescuing the history of the
institution and also rescuing aspects of their lives. Besides two interviews were
made with a boy and a girl who re-organized their lives, leaving criminality behind.
The constructed data with the subjects of research were analyzed from the
Giznburg s indicatory paradigm, i.e., listening to deaf clues and putting attention
to not uttered speech; Assmann s concept of learning, which does not separate
cognitive process from those vital ones; Balandier and Morin, using the concept
of order/disorder and the work with uncertainties; among others to cite some.
The results indicated that the spirituality is an important element which gives
direction to the work developed by the educators and that the pedagogic
experience developed at the non-governmental organization is new and innovative
due to the immersion of the educators in the daily life of the teenagers who
lived in the street, by incorporating the disorder in the educators work, opening
to reality and the uncertainties that life brings.
