El profesorado ante el reto de la diversidad cultural: un estudio de caso aplicado a la escuela rural

Analitza el pensament del professorat d'una escola rural davant el fenomen de la diversitat cultural. El treball intenta fer emergir els aspectes fonamentals que potenciaran o limitaran l'acció educativa del professorat i de l'escola per tal de normalitzar i d'incloure l'alumnat nouvingut i/o d'altres comunitats culturals ja afincades a la zona.

Narratives of Experience in Education: Living and Working Through Poverty in a Rural Community

In this study, I use my own experiences in education as a former elementary student, research assistant, and as a current secondary school teacher, to examine how living in a marginalised rural community challenged by poverty affected my formal education. The purpose of this study was to use stories to: (a) explore my formative elementary education growing up in a community that was experiencing poverty, and; (b) to examine the impact and implications of these experiences for me as a teacher and researcher considering the topic of poverty and education. This study used narrative inquiry to explore stories of education, focusing on experiences living and working in a rural community. My role in the study was both as participant and researcher as I investigate, through story, how I was raised in a marginalised, rural community faced with challenges of poverty and how I relate to my current role as a teacher working in a similar, rural high school. My own experiences and reflections form the basis of the study, but I used the contributions of secondary participants to offer alternative perspective of my interpretation of events. Participants in this study were asked to write about and/or retell their lived stories of working in areas affected by challenging circumstances. From my stories and those of secondary participants, three themes were explored: student authorship, teaching practice, and community involvement. An examination of these themes through commonplaces of place, sociality and time (Connelly and Clandinin, 2006) provide a context for other educators and researchers to consider or reconsider teaching practices in school communities affected by poverty.

Exploración y análisis de las políticas educativas relativas a la educación rural en Centroamérica : casos de Costa Rica y Nicaragua

Différents organismes internationaux se sont penchés sur l’école rurale des pays en émergence. La plupart de ces travaux de recherche montrent que ces écoles n’offrent pas une éducation adaptée au milieu dans lesquelles elles sont situées, du fait essentiellement qu’on y a implanté la structure administrative et pédagogique des écoles urbaines sans tenir compte des caractéristiques de la population infantile des zones rurales. Afin de tenter de remédier aux difficultés identifiées, ces organismes ont proposé diverses solutions ou préconisé des politiques adaptées à ce contexte particulier. Le but de cette recherche est d’étudier comment ces recommandations convergent-elles avec les politiques éducatives et dans le quotidien des écoles en milieu rural de deux pays de l’Amérique centrale, le Costa Rica et le Nicaragua. À cette fin, comme cadre d'analyse, nous avons établi six catégories : condition socio-économique, plan d'études et pédagogie, relation école et communauté, enseignants, technologie et finalement, gestion et gouvernance. Pour ce faire, nous analysons les recommandations globales formulées par diverses organisations internationales et d’autres organismes des pays développés à propos de l'éducation rurale. Nous comparons ensuite ces informations avec les décisions politiques prises ces dernières vingt années, dans les deux pays sélectionnés afin de favoriser le développement éducatif des zones rurales. Pour finir, nous observons sur le terrain le quotidien de quelques écoles rurales des deux pays retenus. En partant de l’hypothèse qu’il existe suffisamment d’information et de recommandations permettant l’élaboration des politiques éducatives appropriées pour améliorer les conditions des écoles rurales, le travail présente une analyse multiniveaux (recommandations globales, politiques nationales et pratiques scolaires) en établissant la convergence ou la divergence dans chacune des catégories. Les principaux résultats de la recherche démontrent qu'il existe une convergence entre les pratiques scolaires et les politiques éducatives émises par les pays étudiés, avec quelques exceptions. Quant à la convergence entre les recommandations globales et les politiques émises par ces pays, on ne peut pas parler de convergence de façon générale. La recherche propose l'élaboration de profil de politiques nationales pour chaque pays, en fonction de la manière par laquelle ils abordent la problématique de l'éducation rurale : soit par l’assignation des ressources pour étendre les services éducatifs normalisés pour tous les enfants, ou en produisant des politiques focalisées, créant des programmes spécifiques, faisant remarquer la différence du monde rural.

Vilas, “logares” e cidades: a história da educação rural do Pará na Primeira República - 1889 a 1897

Trata-se de um estudo sobre a história da educação rural no Pará, entre 1889-1897. A intenção última é conhecer, a partir da pesquisa histórica, como se deu a educação rural do Pará na Primeira República, tendo como foco os governos provisórios de Justo Chermont e Huert Bacelar e o governo constitucional de Lauro Sodré. Nosso objetivo geral é entender como a educação para homens e mulheres do interior do Pará foi pensada e operacionalizada no plano governamental. Especificamente, estabelecemos quatro objetivos: a) Levantar os investimentos feitos nas escolas rurais no período em questão; b) Descrever como eram concebidas as escolas rurais do estado do Pará na Primeira República; c) Entender quais os procedimentos utilizados, através dos documentos oficiais, para formar o cidadão das escolas rurais; d) Compreender os objetivos da formação educacional da população rural. Duas questões nortearam a investigação: 1º) Que intenções permeavam a educação destinada às populações das áreas rurais do Pará nos governos do período de 1889 a 1897? 2º) O que foi realizado, no plano governamental, para a concretização desses objetivos? As fontes documentais foram coletadas no Arquivo Público do Estado do Pará, na biblioteca Arthur Vianna e nos Setor de Obras Raras do Centro Cultural do Pará Tancredo Neves (CENTUR). O corpus da pesquisa está composto de: relatórios dos governadores; mensagens, ofícios, abaixo-assinados, circulares e requerimentos; relatórios de diretores da Instrução Pública; relatórios de visitadores; relatórios de grupo escolares; cadernos de Leis do período. Metodologicamente, operamos a análise em três momentos: 1) momento da heurística; 2) momento da crítica; 3) momento da interpretação. O texto está composto de introdução, três seções e considerações finais. O trabalho realizado indica que os governos estaduais na Primeira República pouco fizeram pela formação do homem do interior do estado, apesar do uso político acentuado da educação como prioridade para estes. Identificamos que os investimentos com a Instrução Pública tiveram seu limite estabelecido pela ideologia do regime republicano que entendia a população rural como uma gente de segunda ou de terceira, que precisava ser “lapidada” para o trabalho. Por extensão, o espaço rural é compreendido como o lugar do atraso, da incivilidade e que, portanto, um pouco de formação à sua população era o suficiente para transformar homens rudes em cidadãos, ainda que de categoria inferior.

Ideologia industrial x cultura rural: o método SESI de ensino em uma escola rural

This study compares two educational practices: the Rural School method (Escola do Campo) and the SESI teaching method, suggesting that the latter one is inefficient when applied to rural schools, as illustrated with a case study of a rural school that was obliged to adopt this method in 2012. The epistemological basis of a dialogical pedagogy for rural education has been used in order to criticize the practices of a method whose origins in the industrial ideology and in consumerism promotes a true cultural invasion, according to Paulo Freire, hindering the students' dialogues with respect to the ways of life in rural areas and in towns – an interaction that assured school performance in the previous educational system, which has been arbitrarily discontinued by the political power. Different surveys were used in this study for both compared cases, specially dissertations that have evaluated the Rural School project (Projeto Escola do Campo), adopted in Araraquara in 2004, a dissertation about the SESI teaching method that has discussed its new didactic material and, also, an evaluation of the contents of a representative sample of textbooks of History, Geography, Sciences and Mathematics for the 6th grade of elementary school. It is a theoretical text, not an essay, considering that it is based on concrete situations, which were explained using researches on the implicit themes and summarizes the analytical procedures that have allowed to unveil, in the textbooks prepared by SESI, the stimulus and the valorization of consumerism, without any criticism and environment concerns.
