DARCOLETO, Carina Alves da Silva  and  KRELING, Geovani Roberto. Political participation of students of Pedagogy from the Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa. Práxis Educativa [online]. 2018, vol.13, n.2, pp.617-633. ISSN 1809-4309.  https://doi.org/10.5212/PraxEduc.v.13i2.0020.

This text aims to discuss the participation of students of the Pedagogy course from the Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa (UEPG), Paraná, Brazil, on issues related to politics. The theoretical-methodological framework adopted in the research was the historical-dialectical materialism, which allows to understand the reality from its concrete totality. The data collection counted on the elaboration and application of a questionnaire with ten open questions, answered by 51 students from the course. The data analysis points to a context of demobilization and individualization of actions, and also the demonstration, by a significant number of the subjects that participated in the research, of disbelief regarding the effectiveness of participation in political activities.

Keywords : Work; Education; Political participation.
