- Os exames do 4º ano na blogosfera : concepções sobre escola, crianças e dinâmicas familiaresPublication . Melo, Benedita Portugal; Diogo, Ana Matias; Ferreira, ManuelaIn the school year of 2012/2013, Portugal reinstated national exams in the 4th grade, thirty nine years after their eradication from Portuguese educational system. If there already is a group of researches studying the effects of the enforcement of exams in the teaching practices of secondary school teachers, in families investment strategies in children’s school success and in the relationship between youth and school (Antunes 2010;Melo, 2009;Neves, 2014; Torres, 2014), there is still little knowledge about the consequences of the enforcement of exams in the daily life of teachers, families and children of the first school cycle. This paper presents the results of electronic documental sources, in order to enhance the educational models and child conceptions that flow, concerning 4th grade exams, in the new public space represented by internet. From the analysis of live voices of teachers, parents and children disseminated on blogosphere we have found two polarised logics: on one hand, a logic centred in the metier of being a child (Sirota, 2006) considering the child as an infant personalitywhose development should be supported by socialization agencies (Ariès, 1978), and on the other, an instrumental logic centred in the pupil-child and in academic results (Perrenoud, 1994). Our conclusions will enhance: (a)how parents, teachers and children stand between these two poles while ideal types; b) how these poles potentially generate tension and drive this individuals to construct composite justification logics for their actions and conceptions; c) How children transit between the roles of “child-innocence” and “effective pupil”.
- O regresso dos exames do 4.º ano : escola, crianças e dinâmicas familiares na blogosferaPublication . Melo, Benedita Portugal; Diogo, Ana Matias; Ferreira, ManuelaEste texto analisa os discursos que circularam na blogosfera, de 2012 a 2015, a propósito dos exames do 4.º ano de escolaridade, com o objetivo de compreender as conceções de escola e de criança ali difundidas e desvendar as dinâmicas familiares que tendem a ser realizadas na sequência desta medida política. Os dados apresentados resultam da análise de conteúdo de 159 posts publicados em 50 blogues. As nossas conclusões salientam a emergência de uma "parentocracia", liderada pelas mães, exercida em processos de escolarização cada vez mais precoces, sujeita a tensões e sustentada em conceções compósitas da criança enquanto ator educativo.
