For a dialectical rural education: movements in perspective

Abstract

Rural Education is a recent area of study that has been built on several historical movements and transformations. These movements and transformations have been occurring and being intended through the fight for the right to land, which has included the fight for the right to education. These struggles have been protagonized through the organization of rural people in social movements. Thus, we use a literature review to discuss these movements as they form the principles of Rural Education. The goal of the text is to present the course of the dialectics of life and praxis in the countryside in dialog with the pedagogical theories as a way to find the educational principles that can support the struggles in the countryside. We point out that in these movements between field and education, present in the struggles for their rights, are the potentialities of the countryside to find in the pedagogical theories the principles that lead to the Field itself in its formation and development process.
