The research presented here is inserted in the context of studies that address the relationship between knowledge and the school of socio-educators in deprivation of liberty situated within the theoretical framework of Bernard Charlot's Theory of Relationship with Knowledge (2000). Thus, its general objective is to investigate the relationships and meanings that socioeducational students deprived of freedom maintain and attribute to knowledge and to the Padre Cicero Socio-Educational Center located in the city of Juazeiro do Norte - Ceara, considering the perceptions and meanings for their life trajectory. In terms of specific objectives, we have: Analyze how the relationship between socio-educational students occurs with Knowing/Learning/not learning, with Knowing and Learning in the Family, with Knowing/Learning/Not learning on the street (in the neighborhood); Analyze how the relationship between socio-educational students was established with Knowing/Learning/Not learning and the School prior to hospitalization; Check how socio-educational students relate to Knowledge/Learning/Not Learning and the Padre Cicero Socio-Educational Center; Understand the relationship between socio-educational students and knowledge and socioeducational activities; Identify the relationship between socio-educational students and Knowing/Learning/Not learning from a future perspective. For this, field research was used, in an analytical and qualitative approach. Twenty-eight socio-educational students participated in the research. As a data collection instrument, the Knowledge Balance, proposed by Bernard Charlot (2009) and the semi-structured interview were used. The data was analyzed using Content Analysis for Bardin (2016) and presented using categories. The research data indicate that adolescents deprived of liberty at the Centro Socioeducativo Padre Cicero value knowledge/learning and perceive learning as a transformative factor, capable of changing perspectives and building a better future, while recognizing the positive influence of professionals involved in the socio-educational process. Professionalizing socio-educational practices have the potential to promote the redefinition of identity and social reintegration of adolescents deprived of liberty. It is concluded that despite the situation of vulnerability aggravated by the deprivation of freedom, adolescents attach importance to knowledge and school, although they are not always clear about it and/or, even so, they understand that school knowledge can provide a better life in the future. worthy for him and his family.
