Learnings and full-time: between the effectiveness and the desire

Abstract

The article takes part on the debate of the extension of school’s journey in Brazil, and presents the results of a study aimed at understanding the relations that the students in the final years of elementary school establish with knowledge and the school, in the context of Full-Time School - FTS. The theoretical and methodological frameworks are the contributions of Bernard Charlot on the relation to knowledge. The empirical material was produced by the “balance of knowledge” (CHARLOT, 2009), and has consisted on the development of a text on the experience of each subject in the FTS. The analysis focused on the learnings raised by students in the full-time and what they would like to learn in the extra time they remain in school. The study conclusions highlight the weight of intellectual and academic learnings which the students value and attribute different meanings. The weight of these learnings exposes tensions in the full-time between the rationality of the Cartesian matrix and the corporeality.
