The Cultural practices of future teachers attending Education courses at UFRJ were studied in order to verify the hypothesis that the variations of the cultural practices of these young students, analyzed according their university centers (CFCH, CCMN, CCS e CLA), can also be attributed to what is being proposed here as variable of acquaintanceship, besides the traditional (socioeconomic and demographic) explanatory variables. The questionnaire, answered by 369 students attending the Psychology of Education II course, in the year 2003, with at least two years of university experience, was designed based on 4 constructs: protocultures; culture of volume; leisure cultures; and socio-digital cultures. The simple descriptive analysis was followed by the discriminative descriptive analysis, multivariated, which at least in an exploratory basis avoided that the hypothesis should be confirmed. That analysis indicated another possibilities to group the variables where the linguistic cultures (written- reading matter) and the techno-scientific cultures (socio- digital) can play an important role to the confirmation of the hypothesis. The reading matter and the link with music were aspects that allowed develop some profiles of the several youths, by center, however without conclusive dimension.
