MOLINA-CHAVEZ, Walter Manuel  and  OLIVA -FIGUEROA, Iván Gabriel. Complex interfaces in educational and juvenile politics: meaning and identities in Chile’s secondary school system. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2015, vol.13, n.2, pp.1125-1140. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.13240130114.

This article describes socio-economic, socio-political and socio-cultural transformations and inflections at a global scale of contemporary societies that are related to the educational processes and identity configuration of young Chilean students in secondary education. The study uses a qualitative methodology and is based on 32 in-depth interviews. Results show that in secondary schools, multiple meanings around education exist and new identities emerge among young people that attend school on a daily basis. The study concludes that current and ongoing structural and subjective transformations do have profound implications for the design of educational policies in contexts involving social fragmentation and segregation of educational institutions.

Keywords : identity; secondary school; educational senses; Chile; educational policies; youth policies; complex interfaces.
