EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH: HUMAN VALUES AND INTERPERSONAL RELATIONS AT SCHOOL

The article presents data on educational research in the human development field of adolescent in family, school and peer environments. The objective is to communicate to readers general results of a qualitative research, conducted from 2015 to 2019, at the Doctorate level, in the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba (RMC), based on Bronfenbrenner's Bioecological Theory of Human Development (TBDH) (2005/2011). It focused on understanding how human values cultivated in the family environment are perceived by adolescent learners and reflected in the interpersonal relationships they maintain at school and with their peers. The participants were teenagers (14 to 17 years old), enrolled in high school and attending a job training program. The data collection instrument was conducted by semi-structured interviews, supported by the Ecological Insertion (IE) bioecological method proposed by Cecconello and Koller (2003). In the data analysis, it used the techniques of Content Analysis (BARDIN, 2016) and the software IRAMUTEC. The results show the mother's centrality in the interpersonal relationships of the research participants. The ecological validation of the human values apprehended in the family occurred and the application of these values in the proximal processes that they establish along the life cycle. The role of the mother in family relationships and their effects on the lives of their children throughout their lives indicates the urgency of public policies that foster the care, formation and development of a culture focused on the integral development of mothers, especially in the underprivileged groups.
