Abstract

This stady is among those which want to understand what on "inside the public school ". It consist not only of the attempt to grasp and to explain the discourse, bat mainly, it is a pedagigical practice to be, in fact, realized in the daily school. There fore, the analyses is carried out not only taking into consideration the discourse, bat the meaning and the motive for the actor's actions. It is obvions that the quality of the interactions between community-school is a consequence of the process of the organization and mobilization of the population in the social means where the school is situaded. Most of the schools which were investigated it was noticed a significant and diversified participation of the community groups. An attack on the empirical data is clear that, although the contents taught in the public school, in many cases, is still demarcated by a strong unform tendency, and therefore, many times unsuitable to the students reality; it also shows that, on the other hand - while the population organize and mobilize themselves, and participate effectively, their interets, projects, and khowledge began to be considered, discussed and somehow incorporated in the school, therefore, bringing benefits to the cultural diversification. It was noticed in the pegagogical practice tnat this articulation realized mainly through the work of the child socialization which centralizes in subjects extraeted from the experience of the students environment. This pegagogical practice is grasped as a moment of the exchenge of knowledge and ideas where the knowledge is shared from the student's view of his world.
