Abstract

SUFICIER, Darbi Masson; MUZZETI, Luci Regina  and  REINA, Fábio Tadeu. Trajetória social de alunos de um curso pré-vestibular popular. Rev. Diálogo Educ. [online]. 2013, vol.13, n.39, pp.629-649. ISSN 1981-416X.

The aim of the research that originated this article was the analysis of the social trajectory of students from a public preparatory course and the verification of their expectations about higher education. Data collection was based on a questionnaire with open and closed-ended questions and a semi-structured interview, based on the models used by Muzzetti (1997). Data were analyzed by the elaboration of thematic charts. Based on the researches conducted by Pierre Bourdieu (1997, 2007), this research concluded that the students understand that schooling is, besides being a viable alternative in the search for social ascension, the redeeming of social ills. Profession choice based on natural talent or divine gift generate expectations which attest the lack of knowledge about the school system by students and their parents, which is reinforced by the belief in opportunity equality.

Keywords : Social Trajectory; Public Preparatory Course; Habitus.
