Abstract

The aim of the present study, registered in the Education, Society and Culture research line of the Post-Graduation Program in Education of PUC Goiás, is to research the social function of the school based on the family-school relationship. It seeks to elucidate the research problem from the following question: what is the social function of the school in the voices of different subjects that make up the educational action: child, family and school? Thus, the objective is to understand how the family and the school attribute sense and meaning to the formation and socialization of children. In order to understand these presuppositions, it takes as reference of studies and research the foundations of historical-materialism dialectic. The theoretical references that guided this research were: Ariès (1981); Pôster (1979); Engels (1984); Saviani (1991, 2000, 2007, 2014); Brandão (2002, 2006); Charlot; Foucault (1999), among others with whom it was possible to establish a critical dialogue. For the data collection procedures, a semi-structured interview was used with parents, teachers, management group and drawing and also conversation activities with children of the 1st year of elementary school of municipal public, state and private public schools of the municipality of Goiânia. The work is organized into four chapters: the first chapter deals with the historical and social constructions of the family, school and childhood. In the second chapter it takes as reference the children's look at the family and at school. In the third chapter the questions about the parents' gaze on the value of family and school for their children are seized. The fourth chapter was based on the voices of the management group and teachers to understand the role of the family in the relationship with the school and of the senses and meanings attributed to it from the school look. The result of this work indicated that for the studied subjects the school has as its main social function to prepare the subjects for work and, linked to this, a possibility of personal success. It also reaffirms the participation of parents in the culture of nonparticipation and reinforces the idea of parenting, marking the identity of the teaching work.
