RESUMO

This Doctorial Tesis is an empirical research of exploratory nature which its main objective was to investigate the relationship between development and education. Starting from the presupposed that education contributes to the human development, it has sought to see if there is any causal or dependency relationship among factors: education, longevity and income that compose the Human Development Index - HDI proposed by the United Nation Development Program - UNDP in the year of 1990. Stemming from these considerations, it tested a model created from the literature that studies the theme, in special the Human Capital Theory, to measure the undergraduate students? conceptions. In these terms, to verify the adequacy of the considered model there were used colleted data from academics of Pedagogy, Literacy, mathematics and Physics, and bachelorism in Economy and Businessman Administration in four public and private universities in the cities of Sao Paulo and Campinas (both in the State of Sao Paulo). It has used a questionnaire type Likert scale and obtained a non probabilistic survey of 843 responses. To treatment and interpretation of the data, the statistics technique used was the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) that belongs to the Confirmatory Factorial Analyses (CFA). It has found that the causal relation between the endogenous constructs and the exogenous construct defined as Education Investment was tested and presented resulted that had demonstrated adherence of the data to the considered model. The income construct was the one that presented the strongest causal relation with the investment followed by the Longevity and Human Development constructs.
