Reflexões sobre o fracasso escolar das classes populares nos anos iniciais da educação básica

Abstract

The purpose of the present work is to analyze and reflect the possible relationship between evaluation, disapproval, school dropout and, consequently, school failure and the relation with the popular class in the Early Years of Basic Education. I intend to study the conceptions of school failure, adopting as a field of research the bibliographic revision and the Brazilian Yearbook of Basic Education of 2014, regarding the rates of dropout and repetition in the Initial Years of public schools. From this context, some concepts are important to help us (re) think about the relationship between school failure and public education. Being them, education and popular education, school and public school, evaluation, Bolsa Família Program and conceptions of failure. This text is basically articulated in three chapters, so that, in the first, I try to discuss conceptions of school and education, its different models and the criticisms that exist around this institution. The second chapter of this text has the purpose of discussing evaluation and family scholarship, and expressing the first approximations to the subject in question, due to the complexity that it attributes. The third chapter of this text concerns the moment in which I propose a reflection and analysis based on the theoretical reference used in the course of this work, as well as data from the Brazilian Yearbook of Basic Education 2014. From the analysis it is stated that failure Schooling can have an influence on a variety of factors, from poor performance in school activities, evaluation, going through repetition, and even dropping out of school, somehow associated with social factors.
