Resumo: | Brazili's school system has a high above-age rate, that is, a high percentage (over 60%) of students whose age is above the school age expected for the school year they are enrolled in. In this article we look into the mechanisms responsible for above-age from a sociological perspetive, and inquire whether its causes are found both in the way social actions are structured and in the norms that make up the social structure. Our hypothesis is that the major cause for above-age is found in the cultural gap between the school system and the students' disadvantaged social and financial backgroung, especially those with African descent. However, another cause observed derives from individual dicisions. Certainly, individuals with this social bacground decide to take up again the subjects they have not yet passed, but their academic results and their expectations for the future suffer from the dificulties awaiting along their schooling. Class and ethnic slant seem to aggravate due to students' differing perceptions on the advantages and disadvantages in continuing with their studies. Our analysis, therefore, shows these circumstances considering social actions and structural conditions (cf. el modelo de Boudon, 1983; Goldthorpe, 1996). |

El sistema escolar brasileño tiene elevada participación (mas de 60%) de estudiantes con una edad cronológica superior a la edad escolar correspondiente al curso en que se han matriculado (fenómeno de la "sobre-edad"). En este artículo queremos indagar los mecanismos causales de la "sobre-edad", desde una perspectiva sociológica, indagando si sus causas estriban en una estructuración concreta de las acciones sociales y las normas que constituyen la estructura social. Nuestra hipótesis argumenta que una de las causas de la "sobre-edad" es el efecto primario de la distancia cultural establecida entre el sistema escolar y el origen socioeconómico de los estudiantes, en especial de los negros. Sin embargo, también se observa otra causa que opera a través del efecto secundario de las decisiones individuales. Ciertamente, los individuos de estos orígenes sociales toman la decisión de continuar repitiendo los cursos que les quedan pendientes, pero sus resultados académicos y sus expectativas de futuro se resienten ante las dificultades que les esperan en este camino. En las encrucijadas escolares parecen exacerbarse los sesgos de clase y etnia debido a la desigual percepción de las ventajas y de los inconvenientes de continuar los estudios. Nuestro análisis, por tanto, da cuenta de estas circunstancias a partir de las acciones sociales y de sus condicionantes estructurales (cf. el modelo de Boudon, 1983; Goldthorpe, 1996).
