Revista Brasileira de Educação do Campo Brazilian Journal of Rural Education, 2023

The aim of the present article is to analyze Basic Education teachers’ professionalization in three rural schools in Santo Antônio de Pádua County, –Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. The adopted methodology followed the participatory observation, which allowed experiences lived in the investigated schools from 2015 to 2019 to raise data diversity. Most of all research results have shown abandonment by the public authorities regarding schools’ infrastructure, teachers’ initial and continuing training, as well as lack of both political-pedagogical projects and teaching/learning practices based on the principles set for Rural Education and the Pedagogy of Alternation.

Cadernos CIMEAC, 2021

Closing rural schools is a scene that has become usual in many Brazilian states, a fact that forces rural communities to quit life in the country as the place for both living and existence reproduction. Rural schools in Northwestern Rio de Janeiro State take the same path of other Brazilian realities; in other words, they are the victims of activity canceling, which is an injustice supported by economic arguments. However, the implementation of the course named Interdisciplinary Major Degree in Rural Education, also known as LEdoC, at Fluminense Federal University (UFF), in Santo Antônio de Pádua City, RJ, opened room for a whole series of popular movements to cope with the rural exodus reality. Accordingly, the aim of the present study is to describe the path opened between 2015 and 2019 by UFF’s LEdoC and Santo Antônio de Pádua’s community for the Alternation Pedagogy in order to defend rural schools, based on the research-action methodology.

Revista Brasileira de Educação do Campo Brazilian Journal of Rural Education Graduates of Rural Education in Natural Sciences: Socioeconomic profile

The National Program of Rural Education (Programa Nacional de Educação no Campo -PROCAMPO), initiated in 2012, sought to establish an ensemble of articulated actions in order to improve the quality of education in rural areas of the country by adjusting teacher trainings to such demand. In that context, this paper aims to investigate the socioeconomic profile of graduates in Rural Education with focus on Natural Sciences who got their degrees from UFERSA, UFGD, UFTM and UFFS between 2014 and 2018. The results show that 66.67% of the graduates are female; 57.14% are selfdeclared Caucasian; aged 32.5 years old, on average; 43% are married; and their average family income is 2 minimum wages (33%). The courses on Rural Education present challenges such as decreasing the dropout/Leave of Absence rates, and guaranteeing that those who were banned from the educational system have the right to continue and finish their highereducation courses. As it is known, the precarization and belittling of the teaching career is generalized in Brazil, but that reality is even more starkly evident in Rural Education.

International Journal of Research -GRANTHAALAYAH

This article aims to discuss the training of teachers for field education, referenced in the historical-political process that began at the end of the Brazilian military dictatorship. With the process of democratization experienced in Brazil since the mid-1980s, with the end of the military dictatorship, we highlight the transition from rural education to education in the field and the respective training of teachers to meet this specific demand. This process was made up of a public policy, the fruit of the mobilization of social movements. The need for teacher training gave rise to the graduation courses in Field Education, which work primarily with subjects who are inserted in the reality of the field, through the pedagogy of alternation and itinerancy. The methodology that contributes to this work is of a qualitative nature, developed through bilbiographical research, with a temporal cut from 1985 to 2018. As a conclusion, it is possible to point out that the degrees in Education...
