THE CONTRIBUTION OF AFFECTIVITY IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES AND THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS IN THE 8TH AND 9TH GRADE OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL II

Abstract

School work with affection is extremely important for the development of the student's schooling, therefore, the school cannot be established as a merely formative institution; it is also necessary to consider the influence of affective aspects on the development of this student and on their academic, personal and social formation, aiming at their best performance. This study is the result of one of the objectives of the dissertation of the Master's Degree in Educational Sciences at Veni Creator Christian University and its main objective was to verify the interactive circumstances that students establish with those who make up the school environment for their educational development. The methodology used was an applied study, descriptive in nature and with a qualitative and quantitative approach, having as a procedure a field study at the Maria José Nóbrega de Figueiredo Moura Municipal School, located in the city of São José do Belmonte, Pernambuco. The research subjects were 05 teachers of Elementary School II, 29 students of the 8th grade and 29 students of the 9th grade, having as a data collection instrument the application of a questionnaire. The results pointed to the understanding that the affective relationships experienced by the student in the family environment is an element that must be taken into consideration in the pedagogical practice of teachers, highlighting the relevance of these aspects in the realization of significant learning. Concluding that the student's affectivity in the family environment is something that needs to be greatly reflected by educators, according to the sociocultural and economic conditions in which they live, as it is a determining factor for the teaching-learning process and their cognitive development. This research not only exposes the depth of the problem, the lack of affection and distance of parents from monitoring their children's studies, but also points to the urgent need for concrete measures to undo this structure, promoting awareness, education and the implementation of actions that can contribute to more effective participation of parents in monitoring their children's schooling and in the school context. It is important that new studies be carried out on specific issues, among which it is possible to suggest the implementation of extracurricular activities using school spaces aiming at the participation of everyone who makes up the school environment in addition to the family to increase interaction and affection with the students.
