<b>Religious expressions in public schools: Are they social representations or ideology?
Abstract
A research conducted between 2010 and 2012 revealed religious expressions, such as prints, statues, graffiti, scribbling and posters, in 60.87% of the government-run high schools of the Federal District of Brazil. These religious expressions were authored by institutional agents including teachers, students, administrative personnel and school managers. The qualitative induction approach was the method used in current research, with three procedures: photos of the religious representations, interviews with managers, group discussions with students. Results show that the phenomenon is part of the structural conflict within Brazilian educational milieu, or rather, secularism versus religious education. The paper also investigates whether the phenomenon deals with ideology or social representations.
