Knowledge to be treated in school with multi-seriated classes: other reflections from the expectations of the peasant community

Abstract

This article presents an interlocution between school with multigrade classes and peasant knowledge. Thus, this study aims to identify and characterize the knowledge to be treated at school with multigrade classes based on the narratives of the peasant community. The theoretical lens used is based on Postcolonial Studies. Methodologically, this study is based on narratives carried out with peasant residents of Engenho Galileia, located in the municipality of Vitória de Santo Antão-PE. The analyzes show that the peasant community has a lot to say about the knowledge that can/could be part of the school's pedagogical and curricular practices with multi-grade classes from the countryside, thus contributing to the construction of an institution in the decolonial bias, by recognizing the specific knowledge of the community in their pedagogical practices.
