Desafios e possibilidades da educação contextualizada do/no campo: Diálogos com as diretrizes operacionais para o fortalecimento das práticas pedagógicas no contexto do campo

Abstract

This study investigates how Contextualized Education, combined with the Operational Guidelines for Basic Education in Rural Schools, can strengthen pedagogical practices and promote meaningful learning in rural contexts, focusing on the Vila Maia site in the municipality of Bananeiras, Paraíba. The problem lies in the difficulty of implementing education aligned with the specificities of rural areas due to structural and training limitations. The overall objective of the study was to investigate how Contextualized Education, in conjunction with the Operational Guidelines for Basic Education in Rural Schools, can strengthen pedagogical practices and promote quality education for rural students. The qualitative methodology involved questionnaires via Google Forms and participant observation. The results indicate that, although there has been progress in valuing local knowledge and critical teaching practices, government commitment to ensuring ongoing training and adequate infrastructure is essential. The conclusion is that contextualized education is an approach for a democratic and transformative rural school.
