Abstract

This research contemplates Rural Education and concerns the study of the trajectory of Graduates of the Degree in Rural Education/UFMG in/from the Escola do Carioca. Its objective is to identify whether Rural Education contributes to the process of breaking paradigms and identifying subjects as peasants, based on the understanding of graduates of the Francisco Ferreira Maciel State School (School of the Carioca) located in the municipality of Piranga -MG who attended LeCampo-UFMG between 2017 and 2020. Initially, we carried out a documentary survey with a database from the researched school and a theoretical discussion on Rural Education, Rural Education, Degree in Rural Education, Graduates and Peasantry. We emphasize that gaps were found in the literature on graduates of Basic Education. Thus, the need was observed to discuss and deepen studies on this theme in order to expand knowledge on the subject and strengthen the literature. In order to reach the results, a qualitative analysis of the questionnaire data was developed, which made it possible to outline the profile of the graduates and the semi-structured interview was submitted to the content analysis method established by Bardin (2011). The research highlights the importance of developing work based on the concepts of Rural Education since Basic Education, as well as the need for more professionals with specific training in the area. In addition, it demonstrates the importance of continuing education for teachers who work in rural schools.
