Abstract

This thesis results from the confluence of four studies that had as central axis and common element the building values - justice and respect. The description and analysis refer to the role of four groups of subjects in this construction: children and teenagers, parents and / or legal guardians, social educators, and, teachers and pedagogues. The research involved a theoretical unbiased interdisciplinary relating the psychology and educational sociology. Therefore, based on three theoretical lines: Psychology and Genetic Epistemology that studies the epistemic subject;Theory of Social Representations that studies the social subject; and Dialogical Theory that seeks the emancipation of the subject. The investigation tries to reply some questions and the main one was: what are the representations that the elementary school students of public schools, parents, teachers, pedagogues and social educators have about school, education and values? To try to answer this question, our objective was to investigate the representations of the educational process covering family, school and values, and its dimensioning by different voices, that involving to look at the children and teenagers in socially vulnerable situation seen in institutions of the social counter-round school in the city of Ponta Grossa. The hypothesis is that if the family does not work these values, in its conventional character, and if the school refrains or deny this function, students will have a deficit in the development of these concepts and eventually reproduce in his private and social life inadequate values. For reduce the field of study, we chose to investigate children and adolescents in situations of social vulnerability. The field investigate included the ethnographic research and the piagetian clinical method, in which 624 subjects, among the four groups, replied questionnaires and interviews. Observations of the children and adolescents took in two institutions of the social counter-round school. The analysis of information combines the analysis of the content with the help of the ATLAS.ti software and the analysis of the reports issued by ALCESTE software, EVOC, SIMI and SPSS. The results of the research emphasizes that: 1) there is urgency to review the conflicting relationship between family-school, which causes the repulsed of the school for the students; 2) is also the responsibility of school the values education; 3) the antagonistic postures to the school environment, presented by the students, it is usually a response to prejudiced and discriminatory situations experienced in this space; and 4) the social representations of the subjects converge to a look of hope, though their practices are centered on unilateral attitudes.
