BERNARDO, Renata. “I passed through school and was able to get to university!”: life and educational paths narrated by university students. ETD [online]. 2018, vol.20, n.3, pp.741-760. ISSN 1676-2592.  https://doi.org/10.20396/etd.v20i3.8649192.

This paper aims to analyze the traces of school cultures in the trajectory of formation of university students from different courses. It is part of a doctoral research study of school cultures, development paths, and attainment of higher education. The data was based on narrative interviews and discussion group meetings. The narrative trajectories were contextualized into monads, according to the approach of Walter Benjamin, constituting life and development narratives. The paper analyses four monads, pointing to traces of school cultures in these trajectories, such as interpersonal relationships and ties of friendship established in the school context, among others, revealing the different meanings that the school produces in the stories of these youth.

Keywords : University Students; Life and Development Narratives; School Cultures; Attainment of Higher Education.
