Mais do que um tour e estudo do idioma: intercâmbio cultural como processo de aprendizagem

Abstract

The research More than a tour and study of a language: cultural exchange as a learning process is divided in three parts being the first one concerned with adolescence, the second with education and the third with the exchange program. Identifying situations in regard to adolescence has been very important to help understanding the reactions of adolescents, their longings and their impetuous changing in mood, their audacity and their fears. Moreover, psychosocial and social aspects are taken into consideration throughout the research, in other words, their relations with family and friends in the attempt to live the moratorium imposed by the adult until they reach their adult world . The education offered in the schools must provide the complete development of the student, as well as the exercise of citizenship and his preparation for the world of work, according to what is evident in LDB (Law of rules and basis). The interaction, the change of experience and the living together with the classmates, friends and teachers allow the students to assume the moments in which education is taking place, this way reaching a complete education. It is important to highlight the essential role that curriculum and evaluation play in education and, therefore in each school committed to the formation of adolescents. The subject exchange is approached from the social research carried out with the students that participated of one of the editions of the exchange and shows the analyses and results of the data provided by the participants. Besides, based on the results obtained, a proposal of implementation of exchange programs in the schools of Rede Sinodal de Educação is presented.
