Enfrentarse exitosamente a la escuela. Experiencias escolares de estudiantes de grado séptimo de un colegio público de Bogotá

Abstract

This thesis explores the singularity of four children who are studying in a public school in Bogota. The aim is to enquire about their personality, ways of thinking and ways of acting by their individual opinions and to discover the social, economic and cultural traits from their families by interviews. These are the keys to achieve a clear purpose: to understand how the four students face their schooling and to know which are their main supports for being the best students from the class. The principal question is how to influence and to converge social and individual elements in the life of four students for trying to identify why they are the best students and why their school experiences are successful.
