Contribuições do movimento sindical de trabalhadores e trabalhadoras rurais para a elaboração da política de educação do campo

Abstract

The present study aimed to understand the views and proposals of the Union Movement of the Women and Men Rural Workers (MSTTR) for design and construction of the policy of Field Education. In this context, we sought to reflect on the contributions of MSTTR for construction of Field Education policy. Therefore, the research was based on qualitative research approach from research literature and documents. We carried out the analysis of the documents MSTTR with emphasis on materials from the Confederação dos Trabalhadores na Agricultura (CONTAG), specifically in the Annals of National Rural Workers. A literature search enabled dialogue with authors like Arroyo (2011, 2004), Caldart (2012, 2010, 2009), Silva (2010, 2006, 2005), Molina (2012), among others, which contributed to the debate. The results showed that the MSTTR has contributed to the design and construction of Field Education policy, because it is among their flags before the fight and struggles of the movement for Field Education. However, it is clear that we need to steadily strengthen the agenda of Field Education, combined with all the rural social movements.
