“Eu quero uma escola do campo que não tenha cerca, que não Tenha muros”: a contradição no paradigma de Educação do Campo da E.M.E.F João Francisco da Motta, Assentamento Serra do Monte-Cabaceiras/PB

Abstract

The study aims to analyze the contradiction in the field education paradigm of the João Francisco da Motta Municipal Elementary School in the Serra do Monte Settlement, located in Cabaceiras-PB. We understand that the field is the scene of a series of actions and incorporates policies and the starting point for social reflexes. We also observed that the creation of the concept of school education in rural areas was linked to education “in” the countryside, in which this education is ai med at reproducing the capitalist mode in rural areas. However, “rural” education is gaining more space and strength each day, narrowing the numbers with numbers of democratic projects that contribute to the strengthening of popular education. This study supports the reflexive descriptive approach, with qualitative data survey, which allows both the approach to a study area and the expansion of existing knowledge about some concepts that guide a research. A bibliographic survey, secondary data collection and fieldwork for photographic records and semi-structured interviews with a school manager were also performed. At the end of the reading of the research, we found that these contradictions are presented in the speeches and actions that are responsible for conducting the process, that is, in the way the school is governed by the city, in the School's Pedagogical Political Project (PPP) and in the speeches of the only settlers. We hope the reader can understand the contradiction of the present field education. E.M.E.F. João Francisco da Motta with the education model that is offered by Cabaceiras City Hall for young people from the countryside, and how the city has been absent from playing its role.
