O fórum de pré-vestibulares populares no Rio de Janeiro e suas concepções sobre formação de estudantes das classes subalternas

Abstract

This master's thesis, developed in the line of research Policies, Rights and Inequalities, in the Postgraduate Program in Education (PPGEDU), at the Faculty of Teacher Training (FFP) - State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ) has The object of research is the Rio de Janeiro Popular Pre-Entrance Exam Forum (FPVP-RJ), an entity founded in 2018 that brings together Popular Pre-Entrance Exams (PVPs) from the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro. We can say that the PVPs and the FPVP-RJ are part of the organization of the subaltern classes in their places of residence. As a locus of organization of popular pre-university exams, the FPVP-RJ represents a possibility of unifying the demands faced by PVPs, intensifying the exchange of conceptions of training for young people from the lower classes (GRAMSCI, 1999). In this context, the main objective of the research was to analyze the conceptions about the training of students enrolled in PVPs through the voices of leaders of this entity. Such conceptions circulate in internal debates between trainers/educators who work in the PVPs and in the organizations present at the Forum, from which we constructed the research question-problem: can the FPVP-RJ be understood as viable in the first place?, as Paulo explains Freire (2017). One of the ways we perceive the FPVP-RJ's conception of education, mentioned in the interviews, is through the exchange of experiences, whose concept we refer to Thompson (1981), experienced by its members. Also, the objective was to systematize the documents published by the Forum, composing the empirical documentary basis of the research.Supported by the theoretical-methodological framework of Dialectical Historical Materialism (MHD), the interviews carried out with the leaders who work or worked in the creation and organization of the FPVP-RJ make up the empirical sources of the research, from which we focus to capture whether the FPVP -RJ can be considered an “unprecedented-viable”. In this analytical approach, we seek to understand the limits and potential of the FPVP-RJ for the emancipation of the subaltern classes and overcoming the capitalist system.
