Translated abstract

This paper analyzes the implications of promoting protective resources through family and school in Yucatec Maya migrant students. They operate in conditions of poverty, social exclusion, school violence, unwanted pregnancies and alcohol and tobacco addiction that sometimes lead them to dropout, thus increasing the adverse situation in which they find themselves. Hence the importance of promoting in these students, while they are still in high school, the development of resilient abilities and personal resources whose purpose is to improve their positive adjustment to school and consequently, their own personal and family circumstances.

Translated abstract

Neste artigo analisam-se as implicações da promoção de recursos protetores por meio da família e da escola em estudantes maias de Yucatán migrantes, devido a que se desenvolvem em condições de pobreza, marginalização social, violência escolar, gravidez não desejada e consumo de álcool e tabaco, que em ocasiões os conduzem à deserção escolar, o que piora sua situação de adversidade em que se encontram. Daí a relevância de promover nestes estudantes, enquanto permanecem na escola secundária, capacidades resilentes e recursos pessoais cujo propósito seja melhorar sua adaptação positiva ao centro escolar e consequentemente, sua própria situação pessoal e familiar.

Ordinary magic. Resilience processes in development.

A. S. Masten (2001)

The study of resilience in development has overturned many negative assumptions and deficit-focused models about children growing up under the threat of disadvantage and adversity. The most surprising conclusion emerging from studies of these children is the ordinariness of resilience. An examination of converging findings from variable-focused and person-focused investigations of these phenomena suggests that resilience is common and that it usually arises from the normative functions of human adaptational systems, with the greatest threats to human development being those that compromise these protective systems. The conclusion that resilience is made of ordinary rather than extraordinary processes offers a more positive outlook on human development and adaptation, as well as direction for policy and practice aimed at enhancing the development of children at risk for problems and psychopathology.
