The informatics as tool of inclusion: The UNIVASF experience with family farmers

Abstract

The objective of this report is to socialize experiences carried out by UNIVASF - Federal University of the Valley of São Francisco on the inclusion of family farmers in the computational language through scientific literacy and integrated actions, taking into account the ethical, social, political, cultural, economic and Environmental education through educational processes. The action methodology contemplated the involvement of teachers and students of UNIVASF and the Federal Institute of Sertão Pernambucano in the promotion and animation of participatory strategies, capable of contributing to the construction of territorial development and the strengthening of family agriculture. The emphasis was on the pedagogy of practice, on the generation and collective appropriation of knowledge, where the starting point was reality and local knowledge. In practice, this has translated into the rescue of history, problem identification, prioritization, and planning of actions to achieve objectives compatible with the interests, needs, and possibilities of results in the replicability of solutions found for similar situations in different environments. The results show the feasibility of bringing to the interior of the academy the historically neglected populations, so that there is the exchange of popular and scientific knowledge, resulting in new ways of teaching and learning.
