The purpose of this study was to understand the social representations of students, who are officials at the Federal University of Viçosa (UFV, in Portuguese), about school and the Center for Adult Education (NEAD, in Portuguese), as guidelines of conduct that provide clues about the prolonged stay of these students at the Center and the relation of these representations to the experiences of schooling and familiar educational practices lived by them. The study was developed as a qualitative research. Following this perspective, to characterize the profile of NEAD students, we applied a questionnaire to 81 of the students. As next step, we delimited for the study a sample of the students who were UFV employees, came from rural areas and had at least four years of formal schooling prior to insertion in NEAD. Once defined the study sample, with nine subjects, we started the data collection phase, using the technical procedures of semi-structured interview. The data were analyzed using the procedures of content analysis. The results showed that the representation on the school, in all the interpretations constructed by the learners, presents a diversity of ideas, values and opinions. Their representations connect the school to ideas of learning , teaching and education . NEAD is represented as an opportunity to study , qualification and a cozy place . The students surveyed had little or no opportunity in childhood and adolescence to attend school, so they see the return to school as a chance to overcome theirs limits. This fact has demonstrated great influence in their social representations about the school and NEAD. And even with a history marked by interruptions in their schooling, these individuals aspire their children can have a long school career which may lead them to a good job. So they have tried (or are trying) to, as much as they can, offer several familiar educational practices in order to achieve their intended goals.
