Abstract

In this article, we present a methodology for the observation of behaviors in natural contexts considering the influence of adult culture on the culture of childhood and the social role of the school. In this case, the focal child observation technique was used to collect the data on the behavior of boys and girls between 6 and 11 years of age, in order to observe the differences between them as a function of the social group to which they belong (white, black and brown). The study was intended to describe the behavior of pupils of different ages during recreation hours. These behaviors, and especially the social level of them, were used to determine patterns of social interaction that marked differences between boys and girls according to gender and belonging to a particular social group.
