SUCKEL GAJARDO, Marcela et al. Life Stories of Teenage Students in the Context of Cultural Contradiction within the Classroom. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2018, vol.17, n.2, pp.19-29. ISSN 1657-9267.  https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.upsy17-2.rvea.

The objective of this work was to analyze the experiences of adolescent students with respect to their schooling by characterizing the cultural contradiction within the classroom in those that operate in the contexts of social vulnerability and economic poverty. 42 eighth-grade students from seven educational establishments from the area of Concepción, Chile, were interviewed with a focus on utilizing the biographical method. The results show characteristic features of a sense of cultural identity, as well as a sense of differentiation regarding the role and position of the student at the school, the culture which that position represents, and how it manifests itself in the classroom via the teachers. For some students, the school as complementary to “life projects”. For other students, school represents some misinterpretations with respect to their cultural identity.
