This review paper has as objective to reflect on some contributions of Bourdieu and Piaget pertaining to school psychology from the analysis of its interrelations with the concept of habitus. Some relevant aspects of their work are distinguished and prove the importance of the educative relations for the formation of the moral and intellectual autonomy of the citizens in a context of democracy, citizenship and autonomy. The study demonstrates that there is an interrelation between the work of the authors and suggests that the subjects' education goes through different spheres, as the social relations and the educational area, that reflect on the cognition formation, besides the contribution to an episthemology of cognition intertwined with the social and the educational contexts.
