Abstract

SANT'ANA, Ruth Bernardes de. PUPIL'S CULTURE IN PRESCHOOL AND PRIMARY SCHOOL. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2015, vol.31, n.2, pp.101-127. ISSN 0102-4698.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0102-4698134606.

The goal of this paper is to undertake a study about student's culture, with an emphasis on pre-school and early years of elementary school (also called "primary school"). The few theories on the subject show limitations, in the sense that they verse about the students attending the last grades of elementary school or the high school - that is, adolescents as age group. Through data from field research and theoretical studies, we identified that student's culture is an intra-school one, which is developed at the intersection between child culture and school culture, with different levels of closeness and distance between them. It involves children's strategic behavior based on opposition and resistance to the tasks and the teacher's authority. When the school refuses to receive child culture, the latter occurs in the interstices of school activities, sometimes in a controversial manner.
