ABSTRACT:
A result of a research in a binational partnership (Brazil and Argentina), this text aims to present some theoretical approximations about the relations between schooling time and childhood, prioritizing the Argentinean and Brazilian education systems. Childhood is conceived as a period of one’s own specificities and a social category built historically. Thus, time in the process of schooling is highlighted, when it transforms children in students, particularly during childhood, seen as a timely moment for human, individual and collective formation, in all societies.
