Abstract

The fluidity and transience dynamics pertinent to today's society has required people to assume social roles that are constantly changing. Although contemporaneity displays a fluid character to social relations associated to the intense changes in values and needs with which we live daily, educational concerns and the predominance of school capital remain latent within most families. Many young people have the desire to become medical doctors and this choice is stimulated by families that project aspirations for their children based on a professional future that guarantees security and social recognition and anchored in the representation around “being a doctor”. However, the student's entry into a Higher Education Institution provides no guaranty of getting a degree in fact, once the academic environment raises conflicts and shows a complex reality to which medical students are submitted. Hence, this study is focused on the formative trajectory of medical students at the State University of Feira de Santana (UEFS), aiming to the objective and subjective resources enrolled by these students, in order to remain and conclude the course, considering both academic issues and facing family expectations. According to the general objective, specific objectives were outlined, which consisted of analysing the existing relations between society, education and development, in the process of professional choice; Identify the objective and subjective elements used by students to resolve tensions relevant to academic dynamics; Describe whereby students perceive their family's expectations about the training process and future professional activity. To present from the maps and the interviews, how the voices of the students' selves are positioned before the student self, a member of a family, a person and a future professional, in the context of medical academic training. The methodology toward the research development was based on a qualitative approach, case study type, involving collecting information technique of the self map, semi-structured interview and sociodemographic questionnaire. In order to elaborate the theoretical basis of the study, the productions of Bourdieu (1993,1996, 2003, 2015), Chaudary and Charma (2008), Cunha (2007), Han (2017 to 2017 b), Hermans ( 1992), Lipovetsky (2007), Luckesi (2012), Machado (1997), Masetto (2003, 2009), Oliveira, Rego and Aquino (2006), Petrini (2009), Roudinesco (2003), Scheffer (2018) and Singly (2010) were applied. The results show different strategies to deal with the conflicting conjecture were used by students during the training process, however, among all the available resources, the individual articulation prevailed toward facing the adverse situations, which in general presented as a background the subsidy for family care.
