Abstract

By taking youth education in times of pandemic in Brazil as an object of reflection, this theoretical study is concerned with analyzing the educational purposes that have supported youth education along the beginning of the 21st century. In order to do that, in a quite schematic exercise, the study is an attempt to describe and analyze two educational trends that have guided education policies and practices. These educational trends have been regarded as theoretical arrangements delineating the theorizations of contemporary education, which have functioned as frameworks that both form and inform the perception of the schoolwork. The educational trends analyzed in this study are the modernizing compulsion and the pedagogical melancholy.
