Prospects and analysis of the educational training process in the project with citizenship in the countryside
Abstract
This article has as a research problem the Rural Education and the training of the teachers who work in it ‒ through the analysis and discussion of the pedagogical work of educators participating in the National Program for Education in Agrarian Reform (PRONERA), developed in the scope of the Education of the Field and in the floor of the Education of Youths and Adults ‒, with the purpose of research recognizing the involvement of the educators of the Project Weaving Citizenship in the countryside, of the Flores/Formosa Polo. We undertake a methodology of qualitative approach with the accomplishment of semi structured interviews. From the limits and challenges pointed out by the educators, it was possible to identify: the difficulty in updating their teaching practice to the public of the EJA; the lack of rapprochement with an approach of liberating education; the shortage of didactic material and a certain difficulty with writing and reading by the educators. As for motivations and expectations regarding the project, the following points were pointed out by educators: the pleasure of teaching and being able to participate in moments of exchange of experiences; the desire for training; the conscience and duty to help others; the need for literacy within the settlement; the search for improvements in reality; the formation of more conscious citizens; the contribution to the transformation of society; and personal fulfillment with the certification of students at the end of the process.
