Educação do campo, movimentos sociais e práticas educativas: uma análise da política de educação do campo em Miradouro - MG

Abstract

This dissertation had as its goals to analyze how the participation of the Social Movements occurred materialized by the Rural Workers Union of Miradouro at the time of the implementation of the Field Education to the public network of schools in the county and what has been the role played by the same Movements in the perspective of Field Education. In order to do so, the dissertation is divided in five chapters. The first chapter enlightens about the methodology that will be developed in the research, thereby the historical- dialectical materialism was used. The research is framed as a case study, because deals specifically with the Miradouro country, being characterized as a qualitative research, in which we used semi structured interviews and observations. We also used bibliographic and documental references for the theoretical gendering of information. Chapter two contemplates the discussion in the macro context, seeking to contextualize the research object. Therefore, we used Gramsci’s formulations to comprehend the concept of State, as well as highlight the influences of the capitalist ways of production in the formation/constitution of the social movements history and its current configuration. Chapter three addresses the discussions about Social Movements, Field Education and Rural Social Movements, in order to clarify the history, specificity and the importance of the three topics of study mentioned above. Chapter four will elaborate on the characteristics of the county of Miradouro as well as expose an analyses of the interviews taken seeking to understand the Social Movements of Miradouro in the perspective of Field Education to the public schools of the county. At last, the last chapter brigs the final considerations, in wich we can conclude this dissertations goals. In this sense, we could see that the historical struggle for rural education in the city has changed in its path. STR participation was extremely important to construct an estimated field education. However, we verify that, along this journey, this participation has detached itself from a purpose of collective struggle. So we understood that this dissertation has, beyond the scientific commitment, the objective of contributing to the knowledge of this reality and, at the same time, try to change it with the verifications made.
