Relação da diversidade, diferença e desigualdade no contexto da educação escolar

Abstract

This work is a requirement for the completion of the Pedagogy course, taught at the Pontifical Catholic University of Goiás (PUC), offered at the School of Teacher Training and Humanities, of this aforementioned institution. The theme of this monograph is the relationship between diversity, difference and inequality in the context of school education. The reflections and experiences led to the following guiding question: how are diversity, difference and inequality manifested in school education at the basic level, in the public education network in Brazil? The general objective of the research was: to explain the manifestation of diversity, difference and inequality in school education at the basic level in the public network in Brazil. More specifically, the objectives were: to explain the concept of diversity, difference and inequality; analyze the relationship between diversity, difference and inequalities in education; and, analyze the relationship of social inequalities in school education. It is a qualitative and bibliographic research that, for its effectiveness, relied on the approaches of Bourdieu (2007), Libâneo (2012), among other authors who discuss the research topic. The conclusion shows that the three concepts were built in society, are manifested by social inequalities, and that the school enshrines and perpetuates these social inequalities, thus constituting a permanent life cycle for the disadvantaged in society.
