KNOWLEDGE PRODUCTION IN THE DEGREE COURSE OF EDUCATION FOR RURAL AREAS: CHALLENGES AND POSSIBILITIES FOR STRENGTHENING EDUCATION FOR RURAL AREAS

ABSTRACT

This text aims at discussing the production of knowledge in degree courses of Education for Rural Areas, seeking to understand its contribution to expand and strengthen the principles, concepts and practices articulated by the Movement for Education for Rural Areas. Data were obtained from the Dissertation and Thesis Bank of the Coordination of High-level Staff Qualifying (Capes), Research Groups Platform of the National Counsel for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) and from published academic papers. The set of production indicates the presence of research carried out in all regions of the country, addressing themes that deal with both the specificities of teacher qualification offered by these courses to rural laborers, as well as issues related to teacher qualification and practice in a generic sense. To conclude, it is demonstrated that this format has been contributing to the dialogue between public education without losing the specificities demanded by the education for rural areas.
