A cultura na formação inicial de professores na educação do campo: percepções de estudantes formandos

Abstract

The basic education of the field stems from the struggles of social movements and is a curricular proposal in the Interdisciplinary Course in Field Education: Natural Sciences - Licenciatura, aimed at meeting the demand of field subjects. These subjects were historically forgotten and excluded by the process of expansion of capitalism that demanded a new modernity and mechanization of work. The territory of the countryside was devalued, creating the expectation that in the city is the ideal place to build life. This blow gave birth to the inconvenient view on the field and its subjects which generated strong impacts and contradictions, which gradually seeks to be reversed through the access of liberating and emancipatory education. In the purpose of recovering the cultural traditions, historical manifestations, desires, dreams, utopias, it was born of the struggle the Field Education that assumes the identity of these workers. The cultural diversity present at the Federal Frontier University South, Erechim Campus, is being developed to form conscious subjects facing the world and its challenges, developing a critical spirit in resistance and defense of the right to contextualized teaching. In this sense, I constitute the research work to identify and analyze the perceptions of students in the Interdisciplinary Course in Field Education: Natural Sciences in relation to the cultural diversity present in the university space in the approach of the curricular components. It stimulates, in this aspect, the identity formation and mutual exchange of knowledge through collective socialization that adds experiences to life. The study had a bibliographic character, consisted of a qualitative exploratory research, between the months of March and December of 2018 in the presentation of the quantitative variables by table analysis. The data were collected from a questionnaire containing open and closed questions, intended for the students of the 8th phase of the Interdisciplinary Course in Field Education: Natural Sciences - Licenciatura. This research instrument, along with the quantitative data, showed how teachers approach cultural diversity in the formative process of their students, how they guide students to teaching in rural and urban schools in the areas of Natural Sciences, in the construction of interdisciplinary pedagogy that breaking walls, maintaining dialogue with the community and the totality. We also seek to perceive the challenges to be overcome, on the other hand to the potentialities to be explored by assuming its formative role, strengthening the degree to the rural people and their culture.
