A SOCIOLOGIA NO ENSINO MÉDIO E A DIFÍCIL TAREFA DE MOSTRAR A SUA IMPORTÂNCIA PARA OS ALUNOS.

This paper presents reflections on the position that sociology occupies in the school curriculum of secondary education and the importance that students attach to this discipline during lessons. The reflections were based on systematic observations in the classroom of Sociology of two public schools in a city in the southern state of Minas Gerais during participation as a fellow of the Pibid Social Sciences course. The aim is to reflect on the difficulties faced by teachers in this area make their students are interested in the discipline. Apparently, for students a discipline that has no tradition in their curriculum, such as Sociology, does not deserve your attention and human effort during class. For this reason is that classes fleeing the conventional scheme and projects like Pibid show themselves important in the learning process of these students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
