"POSSIBLE" RECREATIONAL AREAS ON STATE COLLEGE OF PARANÁ: THE GAPS BETWEEN THE SPEECHES, PLANNING AND USES

Abstract

This work started from the problems surrounding speeches, planning and ways of use, more specifically, those located within the leisure time/space in the various spaces of a public school. For this research were adopted four stages: Mapping of outdoor spaces of the college; Search in current documents, in order to identify planning and organization of spaces; Visual observation and description of spaces and forms of use and appropriation by members of the school community, finding possibilities and experiences within the leisure and; Semi-structured interviews with members of the school community, aimed at identifying  ways of understanding the space and the relationship between the leisure phenomenon and school. Through a triangulation of obtained information, convergences and divergences have been identified and analyzed. These research results demonstrated that, in high school searched, the outdoor spaces neither received the same care, nor were considered potentially educational as other spaces located internally. The conception that school is a place designed only or primarily to work, often relegating the leisure to the background or into the experiences out of school time/spaces is strongly present at school.
