Fazer sucessos na escola: experiências de notoriedade e visibilidade entre grupos de alunos da Escola Comunitária Santo António da Malhangalene

Abstract

The present work analyzes students' experiences with success in school, a subject that has been studied from two perspectives, the first of which analyzes it taking into account the progression to the next grades or levels based on pedagogical aspects and the second analyzes success as dependent. negotiations involving pedagogical and extra-pedagogical practices. If, on the one hand, this literature allows us to understand that success as an academic progression, on the other hand, success in the daily lives of students remains to be understood. Given these limitations, I conducted an ethnographic research with some students at the Santo António da Malhangalene Community School, from which I understood that there are two types of success among students. A first of academic content in which a group of students succeed in school through mastery of academic content, respect for school norms and passing grade, which gives them notoriety, and a second in which students who wear clothes and footwear at school, even if this implies disrespect for the rules in force in the school, activities outside the school that are later advertised in the school's precincts, and which give them visibility. Differently from studies that analyze academic success from the perspective of progress of classes or academic levels in school, by revealing the existence of groups that use extra-academic content, including some produced outside the school, to be successful in it, this project presents a hypothesis that broadens our understanding of success in school.
