La vivencia de la adolescencia en la periferia explorada en una acción educativa: investigación-acción ; The experience of adolescence in the periphery explored in an educational action: action research

[EN] This study aims to identify the senses and meanings attributed by adolescents in relation to the experience of adolescence in the context of vulnerabilities. Action research conducted with 11 school adolescents from a peripheral community of the State of Pernambuco, northeastern Brazil. The adolescents participated in an educational intervention elaborated on the principles of the Paulo Freire Method – Culture Circles, in which the following data collection techniques were employed: participant observation with notes in a field diary, photographic record and filming and the projective technique of free drawing. The educational action provided a socio-political posture in the adolescents in the face of aspects of their trajectories experienced in the daily life of the school and the periphery, marked by vulnerability to violence, social inequality, prejudice and discrimination, repressive and antidialogical attitudes and lack of activities that explore their talents and potential, situations that compromise the adolescent’s integral development. The study provided a dialogical space for adolescents to review their perception of adolescence in terms of opportunities, citizenship, autonomy and skills to deal with the challenges of a context of social vulnerability, while presenting a way to revisit their concerns, anxieties, fears and the need to hope for the possibility of transformation. ; [ES] Este estudio tiene como objetivo identificar los sentidos y significados atribuidos por los adolescentes en relación a la vivencia de la adolescencia en contextos de vulnerabilidad.
