The construction of the social knowledge, under the Piagetian approach, has been the target of recent research in the Brazilian context. From this perspective, this article presents preliminary data from an evolutionary study regarding the ideas of children and adolescents about not learning. Here we present data obtained from the second methodological tool used in this research: an analysis of a story involving a situation of not learning, applied to 80 students between 06 and 16 years. The main results indicate that most of the students tend to blame only themselves for not learning. They justify it by factors such as indifference, indiscipline, among others. The beliefs of the students are also analyzed according to levels of understanding of social reality and the majority of the students demonstrate a very elementary level of understanding.
