Projeto de vida: benefício para os estudantes do ensino médio ou para o empresariado?

Abstract

This article, which is part of the Final Paper, seeks to understand whether the life project discipline, which is part of the curricular component of the new high school, is productive for young people in public schools or is just part of another neoliberal strategy through educational reforms in the Brazilian education scenario. In this context, the central objective is to analyze how the life project can impact the students' experiences, demonstrating the implications of this discipline at school. To achieve this, a qualitative approach of a basic nature was used. With the explanatory research method, data collection occurred through a review of articles and books, in addition to face-to-face and online interviews. It is concluded that the life project will be useful or not depending on the type of school and approach to which it will be applied; if the institution has all the viable resources, the discipline will become more significant. However, it is notable that neither all institutions have the necessary tools so that discipline can fully happen. This can highlight a way of masking the true purpose that the life project has in public schools.
