Contributions of the Methodology of Narrative Productions to understanding the educational processes developed by educators from a rural school in the municipality of Carangola – MG

Abstract

This research used the Methodology of Narrative Productions (MNP) to understand how the experiences evidenced by the educators' narratives can contribute for the development of pedagogical practices articulated to the principles of the Rural Education. In methodological terms, we carried out three narrative interviews with rural educators who worked in a rural school in the city of Carangola – MG based on the assumptions of the MPN. The data indicated the existence of different experiences acquired by each educator who participated in this research, throughout their life, school and/or professional trajectory that put them in contact with the rural people. Among other issues, the narratives showed that all participants indicated developing educational processes articulated to the cultures, knowledge, and ways of life of rural people. However, in these analyses we found that the articulation depends exclusively on each educator, as there is no policy and/or guidance from school management and/or the municipal government that encourages such practices.
