| Abstract | |
Circumscribed by concerns about the quality of education in schools and the factors influencing it, this doctorate work aims to look at the scholar phenomena from investigating the relationship between students¿ performance and social environment (family and neighborhood). With the goal understanding how different educational performances are related to the socio-spatial placement of schools, aspects in the view of the subjects involved were analyzed. In dialogue with works in the field of education sociology, and more specifically, with others in educational assessment and analysis of school organization, we observed four schools in Campinas-São Paulo (Brazil) seeking to understand their relationship to their social neighborhood, with two of these schools presenting the same performance level, but located in different areas of social vulnerability, and the other two showing different performances, but situated in the same zone of social vulnerability. Methodologically, two dimensions were considered in this study: 1st) comparison of quantitative data (performance and social vulnerability) and neighborhood characteristics in order to define which schools to survey; 2nd) qualitative data collection based on observation, semi-structured interviews and focal groups. For the sake of data organization and analysis six analytical dimensions were adopted revealing that, under the socioeconomic level proxy, many external variables not only influence children before schooling process, formatting their initial proficiency, but also influence them throughout the schooling period, which are seen as important aspects to the analysis. Among other relevant aspects and contributing to the analysis, the following should be mentioned: the school choice by the families; the valorization of school by students and their families; expectation about students¿ future; participation in school activities; differences in the family and school socializing logics; activities experienced by students outside school (geography of opportunities and neighborhood effects); the existence of a support network between institutions in the neighborhood (AU) | |
