DESINTERESSE ESCOLAR: UM ESTUDO SOBRE O TEMA A PARTIR DE TESES E DISSERTAÇÕES

Abstract

This paper aims to present an overview of academic production on the theme "school disinterest" from the mapping of theses and dissertations that address the subject. Methodologically, a systematic literature review was performed in the thesis and dissertation by Capes database. So 46 studies were located. The analysis was performed by reading the title and the abstract, based on the following emerging categories: (1) lack of interest in school education; (2) implications of student disinterest in teaching activity; (3) disinterest as a socio-historical construction; linked to social aspects and (4) disinterest associated with indiscipline, dropout, dropout and school performance. Among the results, it is noteworthy that although the school is understood as a significant space to acquire knowledge and to be a “promise for a better future”, the students' lack of interest is a present phenomenon and that marks both their school trajectory, how much it affects the mental health of the faculty. It was also possible to infer that disinterest involves different dimensions and may be related to both specific subjects and the school learning process in general.
