PIAZZAROLLO, Dominique Costa Goes; FERNANDES, Lorena Rossi  and  ROSA, Edinete Maria. School trajectories of juvenile offenders: school dropout and permanence. Pesqui. prát. psicossociais [online]. 2018, vol.13, n.3, pp. 1-15. ISSN 1809-8908.

This research sought to describe school trajectories of adolescents fulfilling socio-educational measures in probation programs in Grande Vitória (ES), in order to understand the processes of school dropout and permanence. Five adolescents in dropout and five attending high school were interviewed, with textual data submitted to content analysis. The school trajectories revealed schools facing challenges regarding structure, violence, and disruptive behaviors. On the other hand, the discourse of the adolescents emphasized the importance of the school and also showed the protective potential of this context, especially when established positive social interactions. Academic difficulties were common to the investigated public, such as retentions, fights and disruptive behaviors. Overall, the research emphasized the complexity of the phenomenon investigated and, therefore, showed that coping with school dropout should include actions at various levels, looking at the student, family, school, and education policies of the country.

Keywords : Juvenile offenders; Probation; Education; Dropout.
