Desafios e possibilidades da formação de professores para atuar em escolas do campo

Abstract

The article presents discussions on the results of nine surveys carried out with students and graduates of the Rural Education Degree courses at the Federal University of Minas Gerais and the Federal University of the Jequitinhonha and Mucuri Valley. The production of knowledge in these contexts becomes relevant bearing in mind that the courses are a pioneering experience in meeting the demands of rural social and union movements. Excerpts were selected from interviews that contain indicators of the repercussions of the training process experienced in the courses in focus. The data obtained was analyzed from the perspective of the three principles of Rural Education: protagonism of the subjects, the struggle for education as a right and a school project linked to a rural project from a sustainable and emancipatory perspective. The results show that the students and graduates are building an understanding of themselves as subjects who fight to conquer rights.
