COCO, Valdete. O Programa de Educação Tutorial: conexões de saberes no diálogo com as trajetórias de estudantes de origem popular. R. Bras. Est. Pedag. [online]. 2012, vol.93, n.233, pp.96-119. ISSN 2176-6681.

By observing that, in the context of the social issues, education has been reaffirming itself as a right, strengthening the fight for the increase in its offering and for programs that give support to the access and permanence of students in the education system. In this study the focus is on the education process of the minority students, in this case young undergraduate students from underprivileged backgrounds and its relation to the projects designed to support them. In conjunction with the research “Students’ Trajectories” and with the development of Tutorial Education Program (TEP): Knowledge Connections, we focus on the trajectories of a group of students who entered the university (in courses forming teachers) and their remarkable experiences at the beginning of their college lives with the inclusion in the Program. Thus, this study highlights the students’ trajectories analyzing the schooling process under the perspective of their life experiences, explores the challenges faced with the students’ entry in the university and takes into consideration the perspectives of continuity in their trajectories in association with the institutional investments in forming students.

Keywords : Democratization of Education Access; The Tutorial Education Program; Knowledge Connections; Teaching.
