In Genetic Epistemology, building social notions is a process of relationship between lived experiences and cognitive constructs. The descriptive case study, from a qualitative perspective, aimed to analyze the ideas of children and adolescents about the relationship between the social notions of school and work. Twelve students have taken part, since elementary school first grades, until high school, from a public school in a Parana town. The interview procedures were supported in the clinical-critical method of Piaget through the use of representative photographs of school and work. It was considered for analysis the levels of understanding of social reality: predominance of explicit aspects; beginning of the understanding of conflicts between different positions and critical thinking of the social order. The results indicated that the relationship between school and work is a gradual construction and, in the case of the study, the level III of social understanding was not found, even in the participants who attended high school.

Keywords : Piaget’s theory; Social Knowledge; School and work.
