Abstract

The present research under the title, School Trajectories and Strategies of Permanence of Scholarship student of Public Schools in Private School, is inserted in the line of research Education, Society and Culture. The general objective was to investigate the school trajectories of scholarship students from public schools and their strategies of permanence in a private school in the municipality of Goiatuba, Goiás and as specific objectives, to analyze the school trajectory of Scholarship students of popular layers to understand how they constitute and are constituted in their schooling process; Understand how families relate to the social and cultural capital of the school and understand the influence of social and cultural capital on the trajectory of scholarship students in private schools. Scholarship students are still poorly studied as research subjects by academic means, lacking an understanding, because they are a very expressive category in society, both from a quantitative and social point of view, hence their importance within the sociology of Youth and other sciences. In this context, the guiding question of the work was: what the strategy (ies) the scholarship students use to stay in a school field other than their primary habitus? In this research, the methodology was characterized as an empirical of qualitative nature. The object of study was constructed from the reflexive sociology of Pierre Bourdieu (2007), which is to apprehend the research as a rational activity and not as a kind of mystical search. It was also conducted bibliographic research on youth and Field research, as a sociological category. The theoretical contributions used to substantiate the research were: Abramo (1997), Bourdieu (1998; 1999; 2003; 2004; 2007), Cavalcante (2010), Carrano (2002), Dayrell (2003), Nogueira (2002), Pais (1990), Setton (2002), Spósito (2003), among others. It can be seen that, in general, the interviews analyzed pointed to factors that should be considered in the analysis of school trajectories and that allow explaining the success or failure of school, but that should not be considered separately as related issues. Among them prevail the family heritage as cultural, economic and social capital, as well as the incorporation of legacy capitals by youngers.
