This research highlights rural adolescence, specifically school-age children of farming families living in the rural area of Glória do Goitá. It seeks to understand the identity process of these individuals from a transdisciplinary perspective, as well as to analyze the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on the socio-emotional health of these adolescents. It understands that rural adolescents differ from urban adolescents in several aspects, such as traditions, ancestry, leisure activities, contact with the land, intra-family relationships, way of life, among other factors. It is important to highlight that rural adolescents themselves have specificities, such as quilombola and indigenous adolescents. Therefore, transdisciplinarity is the approach that most closely matches this research project, as it allows us to perceive rural adolescents from a perspective that expands and enhances relationships, inter-relationships, interpenetrations, transversalities, transversalizations, connections, reconnections, interactions, dialogicities, contextualizations, feedbacks and recursions. The general objective of this research is to understand, based on a transdisciplinary approach, the impacts of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the socio-emotional health of adolescents in the rural area of Glória do Goitá. In terms of methodology, it uses qualitative research with students aged 12 to 15, from an elementary school class at a municipal public school in Glória do Goitá. Data production will result from participant observation in dialogue circles, the application of questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with the adolescents, all voluntary participants. The data will be analyzed using the interpretative technique.
