This article investigates the perspectives of high school students on the contribution of the discipline of Sociology to the formation of citizenship. It is understood that Sociology classes can be a favorable space to elucidate the concept of citizenship and how to exercise it, as it encourages students to develop a critical and reflective thinking that favors an understanding of their rights and duties towards society. This is a qualitative study. For data collection, a structured questionnaire was applied to 50 students from five state schools in Picos-PI. To analyze the data, Content Analysis in Bardin (2011) was used. It is verified with this study that the students consider the discipline of Sociology a necessary curricular component for the understanding of the society in which they live, making them more aware of the legitimacy of their rights and duties and of the social inequalities that mark the society driven by capitalism.

Keywords : sociology; citizenship; high school.
