Family; Youth; High School; Educational Orientations; Reconstructive Social Research

The present thesis proposal is linked to the research line Comparative Studies in Education (ECOE) and the Research Group Generations and Youth (GERAJU), within the Graduate Program in Education at the University of Brasília (UnB). The investigation aims to reconstruct the types of educational orientations that emerge from the space of conjunctive experiences within middle-class and working-class families in the Federal District, and to understand to what extent these orientations impact the decisions made by young people during the school transition to the new high school system. The assumption is that the intrafamilial processes of socialization developed in the context of face-to-face interaction within the daily household are particularly fertile spaces for producing educational orientations – or educational habitus – that structure the practices of young people in the course of their school transitions and underlie the decision-making processes of families in the realm of secondary formal education. Generally, these educational orientations are documented in the decisions and practices of school involvement carried out in different family environments. The intention is to develop a qualitative study based on the principles of Reconstructive Social Research in conjunction with the theoretical and methodological framework of Karl Mannheim's Sociology of Knowledge. For data production, a methodological triangulation is proposed, which involves combining Narrative Interviews and Discussion Groups with families. Regarding the data analysis process, this will be conducted according to the stages of the Documentary Method of Interpretation.
