ABSTRACT
The scope of this research is on Rural Education, by looking at an instrument idealized to be used in the schools located in agrarian reform areas, as part of a pedagogical proposal: the reality inventory, a document which presents an organized register of material or immaterial aspects of the community. Professionals from two rural schools collectively constructed the reality inventory for their area and the objective of this paper is to present their process, discuss their construction, and the results obtained. It is concluded that the reality inventory has the potential to be constructed and used by schools in areas of agrarian reform (but not only), with an interest in overcoming the ignorance of their local circumstances.
