Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the socio-educational practices implemented by caring adults responsible for children and adolescents education in a House- Home of the Greater São Paulo, Brazil, and to analyze those practices as part of a process of family socialization. Authors such as Hannah Arendt, Paulo Freire, Dulce Critelli, M. L. Marcilio are theoretical references that allowed to reflect on the meaning of intersubjective exchanges, daily actions and social habits that develop in its context under which the humanizing conditions offers. It was developed a qualitative research inspired by phenomenology, in terms of interviews that formed six visits. The interviews were to verify the caring adults understanding about their social and educational practices when interacting with children in shelters, and took place in approximately one hour. The fed back were presented as part of the process of consultation between the researcher and interviewee and lasted two hours. This practice is conceived as an offshoot of the reflexive interview developed by Szymanski which designed to offer a span of attention and appreciation of the dialogue as a way of reflecting on educational practice activities in day-to-day. Respondents understood the moments experienced as a space for free expression of their ideas, their concepts of life, work and also, as opportunity to rethink the conditions for caregivers, educators and guardians responsible for children and adolescents who are under their care, even provisionally
