Abstract

 

This paper presents an ethnographical study carried out in Porto Alegre/Brazil,

and its main objective is to provide greater understanding of socialization

processes at school from eight children’s points of view. The work explores

three issues, and the first one is related to transition of school years, what means

difficulties, pleasures and fears. The second one is the idea of ‘having future’

as the consequence of learning at school, and it was presented specially by

those poorer children. The last one is the break time which is focused in order

to show the complexity of friendships among peers.
