Political and Pedagogical Conceptions of the Rural School

By Clarice Borba dos Santos

This paper presents the results of the in(ter)vention-action research carried out with the school community of the Atanagildo Domingues State School in the municipality of Arroio Grande-RS. The aim was to discuss the education being offered to the sons and daughters of workers belonging to the community in which the school is located. This school is geographically located in the countryside, which is why we used the conceptions of rural education as a reference when discussing the concept of education that underpins the school's educational project. This research was carried out based on the principles and assumptions of action research, i.e. in(ter)vention-action research that relied on the protagonism of the subjects that make up the community. All those involved were present to discuss, interact, problematise and participate in the process of understanding and appropriating the school's educational project. Discussion circles were held based on Freirean inspiration and they realised that in order to build their ideals, the school needs to educate from a libertarian perspective.
