Roda que roda ciranda: significados, sentidos, fundamentos da educação infantil no MST

Abstract

This study is a result of studies about Preschool that happens at the Landless Rural Workers Movement. It aims to present some contributions that Freirean pedagogy can offer to the Children's “Ciranda” Song at Landless Rural Workers Movement. For this, there is an historical contextualization of the movement's struggle for an Education that was in accordance with the countryside experiences. This is a bibliographical research and documentary analysis, documents (Paulo Freire´s books, researches already done and papers) were analyzed. In addition to the Freirean contributions, we sought to conceptualize “Ciranda song” as an educational organization to understand its operation. Anyway, Paulo Freire could permeate the entire educational process of the Movement, which aims for the people´s liberation for the Earth´s conquest and a series of rights (denied to them).Therefore, the Landless Rural Workers Movement has understood that even a children are protagonists of their history. Children don´t need to wait growing up to intervene in the world in order to transform it. This conception has strong foundations in Paulo Freire.
