Rural Education in the (Post)Pandemic: people, collective experiences and resilience

Abstract

This qualitative study aims to identify practices with a real socio-educational impact during the COVID 19 pandemic in the Brazilian rural setting. To this end, a methodological path was followed in two stages. In the first, a literature review, works were selected that related the theme in the repositories of theses and dissertations of the Brazilian Digital Library, emerging from Brazilian universities, indicating the need to know empirical practices on this theme, leading to the examples carried out by the Movement of the Landless. Then, in the second stage, the observation of online reports, based on the analysis of 15 videos available on the Internet about the impact of the pandemic on the reality of the countryside in rural settings in Brazil, with reports of experiences of impact actions during the pandemic in the different Brazilian regions. The corpus was protected through lexicographical analysis, using the Iramuteq software. The results present three axes that discuss experiences, collectivities and the people involved in the processes of Rural Education, highlighting the need for a long path to be taken in the area regarding resistance and resilience for the consolidation of a significant space and qualitative impacts for rural worlds.
