A B S T R AC T This article makes a philosophical case for recharacterizing confidentiality in qualitative research from static notions of harm and privacy to one that accounts for a critical agency which exposes, subverts and redefines oppressive social structures. Confidentiality protects secrecy, which hinders transformative political action. Transformative political action requires that researchers and respondents consider themselves involved in a process of exposing and resisting hegemonic power arrangements, but such action is thwarted by secrecy and the methods used to protect it. This article suggests that in order for qualitative research to be transformative the convention of confidentiality must be questioned.
RESUMO O objetivo do estudo foi investigar a existência da conservação das desigualdades sociais e exclusão escolar pelo capital de cultura no Ensino de Ciências do nível fundamental anos finais e, revelá-los por meio deste estudo como contributo para a superação destes. Deste modo, a abordagem qualitativa foi a que melhor que se adequou para a realização deste trabalho, assim como os métodos: descritivo, o método analítico-sintético e sistêmico para o desenvolvimento deste estudo.

Explicitou que não é uma prática dos estudantes frequentarem espaços socioculturais valorizados pelas classes dominantes, neste contexto o Ensino de Ciências no CETI-escola para estudantes das classes desfavorecidas-está mantendo a conservação das desigualdades sociais e a exclusão escolar no ensino fundamental anos finais por aspectos culturais. ABSTRACT The objective of the study was to investigate the existence of the conservation of social inequalities and school exclusion by the capital of culture in the Teaching of Sciences of the fundamental level final years and to reveal them through this study as a contribution to the overcoming of these.
