ROSSO, Ademir José et al. Social Representations of informal workers, with low education and unemployed in the schooling process. Educação. Santa Maria [online]. 2019, vol.44, e32852.  Epub Nov 11, 2020. ISSN 1984-6444.  https://doi.org/10.5902/1984644432852.

The article analyzes the social representations (SR) of informal workers (N = 145), with low education and unemployed in the schooling process. The theoretical approach of SR is the dimension of Moscovici associated to the discussions about parental schooling. The theoretical approach of SR and the Moscovici dimension associated the discussions about the parents's representation of schooling. The information was collected in semi-structured interviews about personal schooling and their children. Alceste and Nvivo software and content analysis were used in the treatment of information to describe attitudes, knowledge and representations about schooling.

Discursive production formed four classes: school and family education; interactions with the school; contingencies in schooling; personal and family achievements in schooling. The social context and the personal experiences of the research participants and their children with the school indicate the formation of three social representations. The schooling as: utility subordinated to family needs and projects linked to work; as a complement to the domestic educational process focused on moral aspects and parental care; and as correction and discipline for social interaction.
