Based on the Vygotsky`s historical- cultural theory, one tried to achieve these goals from analysis and interpretation of stories of family and their involvement in the school of their children. Four families of students from the cited school participated of this research. Fathers and mothers are responsible for the family livelihood and they are part of the schooling process. It s possible to consider that is through the interactions that the students and families construct the meaning of their insertion in the development of their adolescent children. The school is not the only one responsible for the formation of human being, that s why this work suggest this project to contribute with new methodologies of investigation about professional, students and families. / Este trabalho objetivou identificar elementos sociais e educacionais envolvidos com processos de escolarização de adolescentes de escola pública, e descrever os significados desses processos para suas famílias. Com base na teoria histórico-cultural de Vygotsky, buscou-se atingir estes objetivos a partir da análise e interpretação das histórias das famílias e de seu envolvimento no contexto escolar de seus filhos. Participaram desta pesquisa 4 (quatro) famílias de alunos da escola citada. O instrumento utilizado foi a entrevista, realizada nas residências das famílias participantes. Os resultados mostraram que todas as famílias, embora com dificuldades de subsistência, fazem questão de manter os filhos na escola. Pais e mães são responsáveis pelo sustento familiar e figuram como parte integrante do processo de escolarização. É possível considerar que é por meio das interações com a escola que as famílias constroem os significados de sua inserção nos processos de desenvolvimento de seus filhos adolescentes. A escola não é a única responsável pela formação do ser humano, por isso esta pesquisa sugere o alcance deste projeto para contribuir com novas metodologias de investigação envolvendo profissionais, alunos e famílias.

The purpose of this microethnography was to explore and describe the rural schooling experiences of one female adolescent who lives in a one industry, non-farming rural village and attends high school in a nearby small town. The pursuit of a post-secondary education usually results in the out-migration of local youth. This study describes and explores: (a) the ways in which the school environment and the interactions between the adolescent participant and her network educators shaped the meanings she ascribed to schooling; (b) the meanings of school curriculum for the adolescent participant; (c) the meanings of academic achievement for the adolescent participant; and (d) the role of the adolescent’s parents in her education at home and at school and the ways in which interactions between the adolescent and her parents shaped the meanings she ascribed to schooling. Data collection took place on site over 12 consecutive weeks and two re-visits which each lasted one week. The methods of data acquisition included participant observation, interviewing, document analyses, and photographs of local places. The adolescent participant’s mother and father and five educators at her high school also participated in this microethnography. Through addressing the specific rural issues and concerns of the rural context in which this microethnography took place this research reveals a deeper understanding of one adolescent’s rural schooling experiences. Implications for future rural schooling practices and research are discussed. / Thesis (Master, Education) -- Queen's University, 2007-09-26 08:13:17.519
