A relação escola - comunidade transição de escola itinerante em acampamento - para Colégio Estadual Maria Aparecida Rosignol Franciosi, no assentamento Eli Vive I, em Londrina, PR

Abstract

The main subject of this paper is the transition process of an Itinerant school, located in a Landless Workers Movement’s camp (known in Portuguese as MST), into a state school. Our objectives are to analyze the Maria Aparecida Rosignol Franciosi State School reality, in the Eli Vive I rural settlement, in the city of Londrina, Paraná, Brazil, as well as to verify how its transition into a state school works. To start, we analyzed the participation of the school in the community. This subject was chosen after a preoccupation with how the transition process from an MST itinerant school into a state school in a land reform settlement works and is effectuated. Our interest is to understand limits and potentialities of the community participation in the school’s proposal and experience. The methodology applied in this research is qualitative, composed by bibliographic and documental reviews and semi structured interviews with eight school members (3 of them worked in the itinerant school and 5 of them workin the state school). The result points out to deadlocks and contradictions in the transition from an itinerant school into a state one, such as fragile curriculum, discouraged students, the absence of the community, explicit prejudice against students, and non-democratic management. However, there is still hope in constructing a teaching and learning process to almost four hundred students.
