LEGNANI, Viviane Neves; D'ARAGAO, Sergio; SPINOLA, Juliana Morais  and  PALADINO, Luiza Mader. Grupos de adolescentes no espaço escolar: o papel do professor face às fratrias adolescentes. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2012, vol.18, n.35, pp.209-226. ISSN 1981-0431.

Our object of research focused on adolescents and their group relations. The research was developed in a public elementary school that serves adolescents in situations of social vulnerability. Initially, an interview was administered to the professionals in the school staff (the director, the psychologist and the counselor). Next, semi-structured interviews were administered to teachers and workshops were held with students. The results show that the school professionals have been able to provide an opportunity for social inclusion to these students. The adolescents demonstrated a good understanding of the implications of group forming on their behavior. Lastly, we pointed to the importance of the school in holding a reflection with groups about the contradictions and ideals constructed by the consumer society and their implications on the experiences of adolescents.
