SANTOS, Maria de Fátima de Souza; CRUZ, Fátima Maria Leite  e  BELEM, Rosemberg. Adolescentes podem ser alunos ideais?. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2014, vol.30, n.03, pp.173-193. ISSN 0102-4698.

This research investigated not only adolescent social representations but essentially the ideal student according to high school teachers, by associating meanings to discipline/indiscipline. By adopting the Theory of Social Representations, 30 teachers and students from four different schools in Recife, Pernambuco participated. The Free Association Survey - FAS, the evoked words hierarchy questionnaire and interviews were used as resources methods. At the analysis stage, EVOC software was applied to the free association survey and ALCESTE software was employed in order to justify the hierarchy on the interviews. Distinct representations of ideal student and adolescent were observed, without relationship to them as well as on opposite meanings. Negativity sharing relates adolescents to indiscipline, opposite representation to the ideal student, justified by the lack of future perspective, lost and disrespectful students. Obedient adolescent students consolidate the idealization of the ideal student: those who plan their future in the present. For these reasons, adolescents, incivility synonym, become unviable for emancipation projects in addition to citizenship through school education.
