Artistic Practices in the countryside: Struggle as Pedagogical Category for Social Transformation

Abstract

This text analyzes the artistic practices in the rural school, considering the presence of struggle and social transformation as a category in the pedagogical approach. We took as a basis a work that analyzed the movements of re-elaboration of the Social Representations of rural teachers, graduated of the Degree course in Rural Education of the Faculty of Education of the Federal University of Minas Gerais. To this end, we consider that artistic practices can be understood as forms of creation, fruition, and reflection of Art, elements that add the educational processes to the historicity and resistance present of the Movement of the struggle for Rural Education. We had a methodological approach to narrative interviews and observation of pedagogical practices. These elements allowed us to understand the pedagogical aspects of the struggle in teaching practices that carried the intentionality of transformative education.
