Youths and secondary education in the context of a pandemic

Abstract

This advance presents a synthesis of an investigation that seeks to know who are the young people with whom we interact at school, in this sense we establish a dialogue with the category of "juvenile condition". The research methodology was participatory, linked to situations present in the daily life of public schools in Argentina. We work from experiences carried out in a secondary school in the city of Bahía Blanca. The experiences are carried out in a sixth-year classroom space throughout 2021. We discovered that the forms of interaction of the youth are diverse and that, regarding the modes of accessibility or not, the differences have been found to be more exposed from the contexts that the pandemic has imposed on us. Young people from the most vulnerable social classes have not had educational continuity in the same way as those who could access the internet and with a personal device. These experiences challenge us as teachers in our role and especially in the way we build a bond with young people, trying to get to know them from their singularities and respecting their ways of constituting themselves as subjects.
