A relação de saberes na construção de uma escola popular do campo

Abstract

This research, experienced in a public school in the area of the municipality of Lagoa Seca - PB had the main discussion of the urgent task of thinking about the possibilities of construction of the Popular School Field, by analyzing the relationship between school knowledge and popular . Look for the public school that is in rural areas was the need to expand the proposal undertaken by social movements in the struggle for land rights and education appropriate to their cultural universe. One of the fundamental issues that underlie the study was to overcome the dichotomy between thinking / acting of Rural Education and Rural Education, as the simple change of name does not guarantee effective changes in practices experienced within schools and that these changes need to be understood in its procedural dimension. The theoretical perspective that guided the study was that of popular education, and contribution of Freire (2005, 2006, 2007), Brandão (1985, 2002, 2007), Wanderley (2010), in its specificity for reflection / action to build a educational proposal of the field, using as main reference texts Caldart (2000, 2004, 2008), Fernandes and Molina (2004) and Arroyo (1999, 2004, 2010). The main statement that guides the discussions is the interaction of popular knowledge and school as a summary of a new school culture for the implementation of a popular rural school. Methodological procedure was used as a case study (COUTINHO; CHAVES, 2002), using participant observation (BRANDÃO, 1981; MELLO, 2005), thematic oral history (MEIRY, 1998) to reconstruct the history of the school surveys, interviews collective (KRAMER, 2006) and documents as we considered for analysis the specific legislation of the Field of Education (BRAZIL / MEC 2002, 2004, 2010) documents produced in school practices (schedules of students, events) or resulting from participant observation (textual productions of students). The prospective study was to "log analysis thematic" and "context" (FRANCO, 2008), the main categories were: educational, representations and conditions of interaction (content and communicative actions) as a constituent of the relationship between knowledge from these, we found trends that show a process of educational transition, where remnants of the conflict live in a rural education policy and innovation elements that point to the achievement of Education Field.
