Educação do campo: evasão escolar na Escola Indígena Estadual de Ensino Fundamental Fág Mág

Abstract

School dropout is one of the major problems currently facing the village. There is a high rate of adolescents who end up dropping out of school from elementary to high school and even without completing elementary school. Some hypotheses may be associated with these indices, including: student shyness; the lack of family structure; the outlet for the sale of handicrafts; early pregnancy; insertion of new materials; entry into the labor market; the methodology used in teaching / learning; disinterest; students with cognitive difficulties; students with reading interpretation difficulties, which makes it more difficult to learn content because they are not fully literate; alcohol addiction; financial needs. The present research refers to school dropout at the FÁG MÁG field school, located in Charrua, Rio Grande do Sul State. They aim to understand what are the main causes and consequences that lead the students of the Indigenous State School Fundamental Fág Mág, from the indigenous land of Ligeiro leaving school. The method of data collection will be through the study of the documentary analysis carried out with the departed students' secretariat sector (2014 to 2018) and semi-structured interview with manager, teachers, some former students of the indigenous community, seeking to understand the main reasons for evasion and its consequences for their educational and professional life. The analysis of the results will contribute to “identify” possible alternatives for reducing school dropout, contributing to the qualification and reduction of dropout, ensuring a greater opportunity for the insertion of the Indigenous in Higher Education. It was evidenced that learning difficulties, age-grade distortion, early pregnancy, among others, are the main elements found in this research at the indigenous school FÁG MÁG. Some actions are proposed, such as dialogue between the school and families, extra-class classes for better teaching and learning. Dropout is a process that involves choice, integration and commitment between the school and the school community. This may be a possible way to reduce dropout and advance the educational quality of the municipality.
