RESUMO

With the support of critical approach to school Psychology, our study aims at investigating the poor class young people’s version about their school experience during adolescence. The research achieved six group meetings, inspired by the “Focal Group” proposal, individual interviews with eight students of the eighth period of Fundamental School in São Paulo, belonging to popular classes. Therefore we paid attention to young people’s discourse on a) the condition of adolescent students, b) the relation among the participant of the educational process, c) school everyday living, d) the low quality of public school. In this study we realize that the adolescents emphasize the need to leave the pejorative image which is socially attributed to them. They valorize debates about education and politics. They also are worried about the quality of public school teaching and point out the relevance of promoting communication among people who belong to the school context; as proposal to the improvement of educational situation they suggest the government’s incentive to Education and investment both in school infrastructure and in teacher’s development. Besides, they reveal a school experience marked by the impossibility to be heard, disrespect and humiliation, in a context which reproduces stereotypes of adolescents. They also explain an articulation between labels linked to adolescent conditions and poor class students. We hope that this study may contribute to the understanding of school process, as well as to show theoretical and methodological ways which rupture with the hegemony of the naturalization of the adolescence in the field of Psychology, giving importance to the social and historical constitution of these phenomena.
