Função Social da Escola: compreensões e multiplicidades.

This paper aims to problematize understandings about the social function of the school, presented by graduates in education degree from different regions of Brazil. By using an online form, fifty-six responses were collected, analyzed and questioned, based on their analysis and categorization. The study is mobilized through an essay (LARROSA, 2003), considering the course of investigation proposed by the authors. In this perspective, five categories of analysis emerge from the study: citizenship; teaching content; labor/ training for the job market; integral human development; without social function (all with possible comprehensions of education as a human right). The categories were carefully problematized, based on authors and researchers who serve as inspiration for thinking about school education. Thus, as a result, are understood the different and diverse notions of the social function of the school in the contemporary. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
