<b>The experience of being a student in the formal learning institutions
Abstract
Current essay problematizes the possibilities for ‘experience’ generation in formal learning institutions. Three everyday teaching situations were selected to analyze the roles that teachers, students and the school played in them. The occurrence or the enabling of opportunities of ‘significant experience’ as the chance that these agents were ‘touched’ by a situation or event was then studied. Through research on Michel Foucault (2010), Jorge Larrosa (2002) and Alexandre Filordi de Carvalho (2010, 2013), a discussion ensues whether the school, as currently designed, is an institution that allows the production of ‘eventalization’ (‘événementialisation’), which in turn may generate ‘significant experiences’ for students and teachers who build the educational process. Neither conclusive nor the text is intended to answer the questions raised, it is framed to trigger discussions that started in our group and perhaps enable further debates on a topic that is highly important for the subjects directly involved.
