Conversas com professoras: desinvisibilizando as artes de fazer educação do campo na escola pública

Abstract

This thesis arises from my practice as a consultant with the small family farmers and my participation in discussions about Rural Education in the Zona da Mata region of Minas Gerais State and consolidates with the theoretical and methodological debate that Ifollowed, not only in the field of Rural Education, but also in the epistemological field. The development of the research was configured as ajourney which, while reflecting on the process of construction of Rural Education (ARROYO, 1999, 2008; CALDART, 2000, 2004; JESUS, 2008; HAGE, 2010), especially in public schools in the country, allowed the reflection and disinvisibility of teachers' arts of making (SANTOS, 2006) (CERTEAU, 1994) through conversations about their practices and knowledge. To achieve this objective, Ichose to follow the evidences (GINZBURG, 1987) of/in the stories heard in conversation circles with teachers who work incountry schools in Miradouro city, MG, translated into narratives that I bring along the text. This process evidenced the audaciousmovements of the practices, their ways of using the imposed products(CERTEAU, 1994, 2005) and explained the presence of other rationalities and other knowledge that cohabit this world in which we are inconclusive beings (FREIRE, 2001), constantly seeking to be more. This walk identified the need to understand the everyday actions of the school as creative practices, giving them the visibility thatescapes to a rationalizing logic that wants to see school only as a space of educational routine, bringing the realization that infinite paths have been trodden, giving a much broader sense to school functions.
