Didática da educação a distância : interação pedagógica

No momento em que a sociedade acompanha a evolução do sistema educacional e profissional com a educação a distância em ambiente virtual na Web cada vez mais presente em nosso cotidiano com as tecnologias de informação e comunicação chegando às escolas e universidades, exige-se uma mudança pedagógica na educação. Diretores, professores e toda a comunidade envolvida no processo precisam repensar o seu papel de orientadores e estimuladores e os conceitos sobre a sua prática pedagógica. O aluno tem que modificar a sua forma de agir: aprender por si próprio, ser criativo, saber trabalhar em grupo de modo cooperativo e ser capaz de organizar seu próprio trabalho. Esse tipo de abordagem contribuiu para a construção deste estudo, que tem como objetivo realizar uma análise investigativa sobre o conjunto de procedimentos que asseguram o processo de ensino-aprendizagem na prática pedagógica no ambiente de educação a distância (EAD), abordando e contextualizando as possíveis implicações dessa prática. Para tanto, faz-se necessário compreender a metodologia de interação, cooperação/colaboração e autonomia estabelecida entre as pessoas envolvidas no sistema de educação on-line com o intuito de contribuir para uma ação mais efetiva na organização e no planejamento desse sistema de ensino. Sabemos que a separação física entre o professor e o aluno é uma das peculiaridades do ensino a distância, o que provoca uma necessidade de construir novos conceitos para compreender as relações de mediação que se diferenciam dos parâmetros da sala de aula convencionais. Essa é uma preocupação deste trabalho, cuja intenção é identificar as características específicas que estão inseridas na Didática e como elas estão envolvidas no processo de comunicação e interação entre docentes e alunos nesse espaço de formação. Para desenvolver esta pesquisa, adota-se uma abordagem qualitativa, com a utilização de técnicas como questionários estruturados, fórum e relatos gravados das apresentações feitas pelos alunos participantes do workshop de encerramento do curso e no próprio ambiente. A partir da análise dos dados coletados, diante da multiplicidade de meios, materiais e linguagens disponibilizadas pela educação a distância, faz-se necessário discutir sistematicamente os pressupostos didáticos que interligam os indivíduos em rede de comunicação global proporcionada pelo ambiente tecnológico de aprendizagem – alunos/ professores, alunos/alunos e alunos/ambiente. Como professora/multiplicadora do Programa de Informática Educativa, o espaço escolhido para direcionar o olhar investigativo desta pesquisa foi o Curso de Especialização em Informática Educativa, realizado no ambiente e-ProInfo e oferecido pela Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo no período de 2002 a 2003, para formar novos multiplicadores que atuarão nos Núcleos de Tecnologia Educacional da Secretaria Estadual de Educação e professores facilitadores do laboratório de informática das escolas estaduais de vários municípios do Estado do Espírito Santo. Estes estudos apontaram a importância das estratégias didáticas na prática pedagógica em educação a distância em ambiente virtual na Web, aplicadas com o uso dos instrumentos interativos mediando os interlocutores, aproximando os indivíduos que estão fisicamente distantes e envolvidos nesse processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Considerando que o foco deste estudo é a educação a distância, modalidade de ensino desenvolvida pelo Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, que hoje é uma referência em nível nacional de Educação a Distância, espero estar contribuindo para a inserção deste trabalho no contexto das Universidades e Instituições de Ensino que propõem consolidar esta modalidade de ensino usando como recurso um ambiente virtual de aprendizagem.

Informática educativa : uma atualização do plano educação

Alguns movimentos de atualização do plano educação se efetuam no funcionamento de máquinas abstratas. A partir de uma abordagem genealógica do processo de informatização das escolas públicas, ocorrido no Brasil, este trabalho de Dissertação marca alguns movimentos de desterritorialização e de territorialização no plano Informática Educativa. Um movimento de abordagem genealógica analisa o modo como estamos inseridos num dispositivo específico e será objetivo desta Dissertação assinalar a produção e a mutação do que denomino dispositivo informático – que se produz no acontecendo. Para efetivar esta análise utilizei como referência as perspectivas político-filosóficas de Michel Foucault e Gilles Deleuze, produzindo desdobramentos entre as aproximações que efetuo desses autores. Utilizando o conceito foucaultiano de dispositivo articulado com outros conceitos que se avizinham em linhas segmentares e de fuga, conecto os campos da informática, da militarização e da economia ao campo educacional. Em tal movimento, conceptualizo a Informática Educativa como plano de imanência, configurando uma política, cujos traços diagramáticos, informatização, pedagogização e democratização, atravessam os agenciamentos concretos, escola, comunidade, secretarias de ensino, equipamentos informáticos, Estado, alunos, professores, entre outros, produzindo uma rede de tensionamentos. As trajetórias percorridas indicam possibilidades de produzir uma experimentação, no sentido de Deleuze – trajetórias múltiplas que possibilitam produzir múltiplos devires.

Cultura narcisica e malogros na educação

A dissertação se estrutura a partir de indagações sobre comportamentos sociais que a sociedade brasileira como um todo Julga condenáveis e, mais que isso, responsáveis, em grande medida, pela sua progressiva pauperização material e pela descrença generalizada num futuro melhor. A cumplicidade e ineficiência de grandes setores privilegiados e das estruturas da ordem e da justiça reforçam perigosamente esta tendência através de uma difusa isenção de responsabilidades. Os indivíduos agem pressionados pelo medo ou por motivos de interesses particulares. Nessas circunstâncias, a categoria de cultura narcísica orienta para a compreensão de diferentes questões sociais. Os traços da Cultura narcísica são assimilados pelas diferentes camadas da população, o que explica, em parte, a corrupção, o clientelismo e o desperdício, entre outros fenômenos típicos do Brasil de hoje. Os objetivos deste trabalho passam por uma análise das consequências da incorporação dos traços dessa cultura na esfera da educação institucionalizada. Foi considerado, particularmente como uma referência exemplar, um episódio que coloca em relação ao Programa Nacional do Livro Didático e o sistema de ensino do município do Rio de Janeiro.

Gestão democrática e tecnologias de informática na educação pública : o ProInfo no Espírito Santo

Este trabalho analisa e discute a gestão da implantação do ProInfo no Espírito Santo, como uma política voltada para a democratização do acesso às Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação - TIC nas escolas públicas. Esta ação envolveria mudanças nas práticas pedagógicas e também de administração escolar, visando a melhoria da qualidade do ensino com acesso às novas tecnologias, dentro do princípio da gestão democrática no ensino público. O trabalho tem uma perspectiva avaliadora do processo e dos resultados da política implantada. Na revisão da literatura foram destacados os conceitos de inovação tecnológica, democratização da educação e das TIC e de gestão democrática, segundo autores como Garcia (1996), Costa (2002), Luce (1986), Sander (2002), Mendonça (2000). Como estudo de caso, a pesquisa envolveu um relato conciso do ProInfo/MEC como marco de referência política, administrativa e pedagógica; a descrição do ProInfo/ES, com organização de dados e reflexão, circunscritos ao período de 1997 a 2003; e conclui com um ensaio avaliativo. Aponta para a importância de que a apropriação de novas tecnologias pelo sistema educacional seja planejada não apenas nos aspectos de ordem pedagógica, mas também considere os elementos do contexto no qual a ação educativa se desenvolve e estabelece relações, como a escola, a família, o trabalho e a comunidade, bem como com as questões mais amplas da cultura, da economia e a política. A relevância social e pedagógica das tecnologias depende do contexto onde estão inseridas, da participação e envolvimento dos atores, da integração das estruturas do sistema educacional, da continuidade das políticas adotadas, na abertura para que cada unidade de ensino defina o seu projeto de uso das TIC, da definição de responsabilidades em todas as instâncias envolvidas e, principalmente, de instrumentos adequados de acompanhamento e avaliação.

Políticas públicas e organizações culturais: o caso do programa Cultura Viva

A pesquisa traz um olhar exploratório sobre as organizações culturais que compõem o campo organizacional da cultura e são beneficiadas por políticas culturais baseadas em financiamento. Para tanto é analisado o programa Cultura Viva – Programa Nacional de Cultura, Educação e Cidadania, que busca alterar o foco das políticas culturais para os processos culturais existentes nas comunidades, criando pontos de cultura, enquanto grande parte das demais políticas culturais (em especial aquelas baseadas no modelo de mecenato) ainda tem peso maior em grandes ações, concentradas regionalmente. Neste sentido, o objetivo da presente pesquisa é analisar como os pontos de cultura passam a integrar o campo organizacional da cultura no estado de São Paulo. A fim de atender este objetivo, a pesquisa parte da revisão da literatura especializada e de documentos governamentais sobre o programa Cultura Viva. A fim de complementar tais informações, foram coletados dados sobre o programa em âmbito nacional, e realizou-se um estudo de caso no estado de São Paulo, por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, e de survey com organizações que passaram a compor o programa Cultura Viva. A presente pesquisa aponta como o programa Cultura Viva modifica o campo organizacional da cultura, ao alterar sua composição e as relações ali estabelecidas. Por meio da rede formada, as organizações passam a estabelecer relações de poder mais significativas, e por meio das pressões sofridas se equiparam às demais organizações, tornando o campo organizacional mais competitivo. Muda o perfil das organizações, e muda a forma como as organizações se relacionam.

Estrutura e desafios de financiamento do programa Abrigos Solidários: Liga Solidária

A prestação do serviço de acolhimento institucional para crianças e adolescentes ainda é um grande desafio para as organizações que realizam este trabalho, não só pelas atuais mudanças do perfil dos abrigados, que passa a exigir novas respostas institucionais, com pela fragilidade da estrutura de financiamento público. Desse modo, o presente trabalho tem como propósito identificar as principais fragilidades da estrutura de financiamento público desse serviço, a partir do estudo de caso do Programa Abrigos Solidárias da Liga Solidária, organização social sem fins lucrativos que mantém três abrigos via convênio firmado com a Secretaria Municipal de Assistência e Desenvolvimento Social de São Paulo (SMADS). Para tanto, foi realizada pesquisa qualitativa baseada em entrevistas semi estruturadas junto a gestores e técnicos da Liga Solidária, bem como uma revisão bibliográfica sobre os principais marcos da Política Nacional de Assistência Social, referências sobre a Reforma Gerencial do Estado e o funcionamento básico do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Com base nos dados encontrados na pesquisa, foi possível realizar um diagnóstico da atual estrutura de financiamento público e complementar que subsidiou a elaboração de uma proposta integrada de aperfeiçoamento da estrutura de financiamento desse serviço respaldado por uma análise comparativa com o SUS e resgatando as propostas de contratualização previstas na Reforma Gerencial do Estado de 1995.

Os embates entre ciência e política na experiência parlamentar de Josué de Castro

This study want to know how Josué de Castro, the two terms of a congressman, participated in the Brazilian political-ideological debate of the 1950s. For this, search the 61 speeches in the plenary of the House of Representatives and its 14 projects, analyzing them as historical documents that describe an experience, which enables the central category amalgamated the subject and his time, which breaks up the possibilities of new social practices. Unity of action and reflection, the experience of Castro in the Brazilian parliament has got on the basis of a previous flow experiences in the political-institutional and scientific. Together with the personal history, the political intellectual scenario of his time was another variable considered in the first chapter of this work. In the second chapter did an analysis of 32 speeches and projects of the first term of Josué de Castro, grouping them by thematic affinities. The 43 for the second term were discussed in the third chapter, leaving the final considerations answer the research objectives: What are the main interlocutors? What are your political positions? What are the points of rupture and continuity in his political career?

Castro often has blended a liberal and Marxist terminology, relying on different ideologies to do support his fight against hunger

Trajetória dos assentamentos rurais financiados pelo crédito fundiário no estado do Rio Grande do Norte: uma análise da experiência do assentamento da fazenda Paz no município de Maxaranguape/RN

The market-assisted land reform (RAAM) has been constituted as an alternative of agrarian reform funded by the Programa Nacional do Crédito Fundiário (PNCF). It is a policy of acquisition, distribution and use of Earth ideologically disseminated and funded by the World Bank in the context of productive insertion of landless workers. Accordingly, this study seeks to analyze the trajectory of rural settlements financed by this policy, seeking to understand what factors promote or limit the process of rural development of those settlements. To do so, take as a reference case study of the Assentamento da Fazenda Paz, in the municipality of Maxaranguape in the State of Rio Grande do Norte. From the methodological point of view, bibliographical and documentary research were used, in addition to visits to the settlement and semi-structured interviews with the settlers, trade union leaders, consultants and technicians linked to the project. Assuming the reports of respondents, initially constructs the hypothesis that informal and formal institutions present in the Assentamento da Fazenda Paz were unable to effectively coordinate the actions of the agents. The results obtained showed the existence of a very complex undertaking, with a total area of 607 hectares and 80 families settled, endowed with good quality water and irrigation infrastructure, with assets of approximately R$ 5 million reais. Experience experienced by the settlers understood the development of complex systems of production and marketing of fruits and vegetables, with an emphasis on the cultivation of papaya in an area of 45 hectares based on modern irrigation system and extensive use of technology. Collective management of production, marketing, revenue and costs stood out as a major challenge for the settlers and their representative organisations, i.e. the Community Association and the cooperative. From this observation it was possible to identify two moments on the trajectory of the project: the first, between 2007-2011, considered by respondents as successful, in which the integration of public policies and abundant input of revenue from the commercialization of the fruits da Paz, mainly through the sale of papaya and pineapple in national and international markets, allowed an average remuneration of R$ 800.00 reais to R$ 1,000 reais seated/monthIn addition to the production of vegetables and other types of products for sale and consumption; the second, from 2012, characterized as a failure, due to the discontinuity of the cultivation, production and marketing of fruits based on the collective bargaining model deployed. Important factors explain the discontinuity of the project, including the model of agriculture implemented, difficulties related to the management of production, marketing and finance the venture, in addition to the breach of trust between the Board of the cooperative and the associates and the distancing of the governmental organizations more directly responsible for the project. It is therefore concluded that we must to rethink rural development as a multidimensional phenomenon, requiring a broad engagement between State and society under the foundations of a territorial development contract

Paisagens sonoras, tempos e autoformação

Les sociétés actuelles vivent des temps de vitesse, de l'individualisme, de l'absence d'enracinement historique: en harmonie avec le processus de formation de la civilisation du monde occidental contemporain profondément marqué par le paradigme de la globalisation. La pollution visuelle et sonore des grandes villes est, en même temps, l'expression de la pollution des sens et des affections humaines. En reflétant sur ce processus, la thèse discuter em faveur d'une formation réglée dans la logique du sensible qu'il a dans l'écouter près de la nature (Lévi-Strauss) un de leurs piliers épistémologiques ondamentales. Cette forme de penser et vivre reconnaît dans l'autoformation (Edgar Morin), et dans l'exercice de construction, par le sujet, de leurs propres paysages sonores (Murray Schafer), deux opérateurs cognitifs capables de nourrir les principes de la diversité, complexité, interdépendance et respect à la nature (Fritjof Capra). Dans le parcours argumentatif de la thèse gagnent emphase les savoirs de la tradition, les pratiques et les connaissances produites par les sociétés le plus proche de la nature qui, par des stratégies cognitives ouvertes et des polyphoniques, donnent importance aux facultés sensibles et à la complémentarité des deux itinéraires de la pensée: symbolique/mythologique/magique et empirique/technique/rationnel (Edgar Morin). Proche d'une perspective autobiographique, la thèse se présente dans la forme narrative d'un registre avec des évocations poétiques, philosophiques et musicales germées de l'écouter d'un paysage particulier, la Lagon du Piató, localisé dans la région de l'Assu (Rio Grande do Norte) et, en particulier, des récits et des évocations de mémoire d'un de leurs habitants auxlesquels nous pourrions appeler d'un philosophe de la nature , Francisco Lucas da Silva (Chico Lucas). Ensuite, ils sont décrits non-place (Marc-Augé) des scénarios métropolitains, en discutant ainsi les excès de pollution sonore, visuelle et de l'afection. En ayant comme estimé une éducation complexe ancrée dans non séparation il entre réforme de l'éducation et reforme de la pensée, de la formation et autoformation (Edgar Morin), à la fin, la thèse propose des ateliers d'expérimentation de l'écouter sensible entre des jeunes et des enfants sur le contexte scolaire, en pariant dans les futures générations (Ilya Prigogine) pour la reconstruction d'un monde plus juste et solidaire

Formação moral das crianças: construção de regras fundamentais aos valores do Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST)

The acquiring process of morals on a person is one of the most important aspects of his Social Identity. The basis for his ethics and moral choices are built when he interacts with the world. A child that interacts with participants of Movimento Sem Terra (MST) movement that fights for the Land Reform and the transformation of the society may have the opportunities to acquire the culture, morals and ethics of this movement. Based on this understanding, this work intends to comprehend how children think and incorporate the rules that are the base of the values and principles of MST, considering the diversity of the situations, the limits and the possibilities to experience these values in their everyday life in the Movement. To understand how the process of cognitive construction of the rules takes place in a child, it is important to consider the theories of Jean Piaget. According to him, morals development follows a sequence: the anomie (0 to 2 years old), marked by the absence of rules; the heteronomy (2 to 6/7 years old), where takes place the adoption of rules due to exterior obedience, such as a relative, an institution or a movement; and the autonomy (from 6/7 years old on), in which rules are considered legitimate. All the children in this research have relatives working at MST. The research has two parts. We have first observed the behavior of three groups of children (beyond six years old) while they were involved on their normal activities (kindergarten) activities. On the second moment, we have interviewed 20 children (between 3 and 10 years old). We used flashcards containing scenes; we also told stories and asked moral questions involving the character s behavior. We have noticed the unilateral respect and extern coercion are between the definers of the moral decisions of a child. The empathy and the reduction of the egocentrism help seeing the situation of the point of view of other, although it doesn t mean that one is going to accept others point of view. In the taking decision of the child other factors are also considered such as the space of socialization (family, school). Though the children don t work or take part at MST activities, they have already opinions about involved people behaviors. The interaction with relatives and teachers is one of the most important aspects to encourage them elaborate moral understandings according to the ethics of this movement

Educação ambiental: mediações sociais e políticas e a indolência do Poder Público à sua inclusão no ensino formal

As a result of the prediction of irreversible changes on necessary conditions to maintain life, including human, on the planet, environmental education got the spotlight in the political scenario, due to social pressure for the development of individual and collective values, knowledge, skills, attitudes and competences towards environmental preservation. In Brazil, only in 1999 the right for environmental education was officially granted to people, having the status of essential and permanent component in the country s education. Since then, it has been Government s duty, in each federal branch, to plan actions to make it happen, in an articulate way in all levels and modalities of the education process, both formally and informally. This work of research has environmental education in the school as subject matter, and aims on analyzing social and political mediations established between this National Environmental Education policy and the contexts associated to the legislative production process, the political nature of the conceptions about environmental education that underlie Law 9.795/99 (Brazil, 2009c) and also Rio Grande do Norte Government s actions and omissions related to the imperative nature of the insertion of environmental education in the schools ran by the state, during the ten years this law has been in force. The investigation of the subject matter was led by a social and historical understanding of the social and environmental phenomena, as well as of the education system as a whole, considering that only through a dialectical view we can see the real world, by destroying the pseudo-concreteness that surrounds the topic. While analyzing, we assumed that in face of the dominance of a social organization in which market regulations rule on environmental ones, by developing individual and collective critical conscience, environmental education can become a threat to dominant economical interests in exploiting natural resources. The results of this research suggest that as an educational practice to be developed in an integrated, continuous and permanent fashion in all levels and modalities of formal education, environmental education has not yet come to pass in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, due to the neglect and disrespect of the government when facing the need of promoting the necessary and legally appointed measures to make it present in the basic education provided by the state. The legislators silence when it comes to approving a regulation on environmental education essential to define policies, rules and criteria to teaching the subject in the state and the omission from the public administration regarding critical actions in order to integrate in public schools the activities related to the National Environmental Education Policy, represent a political decision for not doing anything, despite the legal demand for an active position. This neglecting attitude for the actualizing of strategically concrete actions, urgent and properly planned for the implementation of environmental education in schools in a multidisciplinary way, exposes the lack of interest the predominant classes have in such kind of education being made available, as it could be developed based on a critic political view, becoming a political and educational action against dominance. When analyzing the basic principles and fundamental goals in Law 9.795/99 (Brazil, 2009c) the development of a critic environmental education is really possible and concurs with the National Environmental Education Policy, reflecting the social and political mediations established between this public policy and the contexts associated to its legislative production process, which are responsible for approving a regulation which also represents the mind of the people about environmental protection above anything else

Avaliação do programa escola ativa como política pública para escolas do campo com turmas multisseriadas: a experiência em jardim do seridó/rn (1998-2009)

This work aims at developing an evaluation of the implementation of the Program Escola Ativa as a public policy for rural schools with combined grade classrooms in Jardim do Seridó RN (1998 2009) focusing on the following dimensions: school s physical environment, training, follow up, and didactic usage of the methodology. In order to develop this research we refer to the literature that analyzes the cycle of policies (FREY, 2000). In this approach, evaluation represents an important step in the process of analyzing the implementation of public policies, as a way of measuring up their performance, as well as a guide for realignments and redefinitions (PRESSMAN; WILDAVSKY, 1998). In order to accomplish this function, the evaluator of policies must be acquainted with scientific concepts and methods that consist of describing, interpreting and analyzing the policies in the governmental sphere (MENY; THOENIG, 1992; LIMA JÚNIOR, 1978). In this perspective, we intend to investigate whether in its proposition of minimizing the blanks in the Brazilian educational system, the implementation of the Program would be contributing to the improvement of the political-pedagogical practices in the rural schools with combined grade classrooms in Jardim do Seridó RN. In order to do this research, we have developed a theoretical-methodological matrix made of analysis dimensions, variables, indicators and instruments, such as literary revision, documental analysis, semi-structured interviews with four teachers and three supervisors that work and/or have worked in Escola Ativa in that town in the period comprised among 1998 2009, besides notes taken from field observation and photographs from four rural schools with combined grade classrooms. With this research we have identified that the Program, at a national level, has gone through different phases in its implementation process, for the town was not ready to fully take the responsibilities of the autonomous expansion, in 2002. From that period on, the execution of Escola Ativa has suffered several discontinuities, such as the lack of professional training and supervising. It is also noted that the methodology contributes to the dynamization of the didactic-pedagogical activities and promotes the cooperation and autonomy of the students in the organization and the applicability of the components of the curriculum, especially of Governo Estudantil and Cantinhos de Aprendizagem. Although the directions of the Program (BRASIL, 2005) point out that Escola Ativa has among its principles social transformation, we identified that, isolated, the initiative is not capable of promoting the changes that the rural schools need, namely investments in the physical, material, pedagogical and technological infra-structure, besides the estimation and a career plan for the teachers. In a general draft of the results of this research, we realized that some aspects presented about the peculiarities of Escola Ativa in Jardim do Seridó as a governmental Program, reinforce the need for the public policies to be evaluated, in order to confront critic and operationally the planning with the practice, revising action, whenever necessary

Luta pela terra, luta pela palavra: história de vida e formação de duas educadoras populares do campo

This project has resulted from a reunion between me and two teachers with whom I had already worked, pedagogically counseling them during the execution of the Project of Youngsters and Adults Schooling at the Agrarian Reform Settlements in the State of Sergipe (PAJA/PRONERA) between 2002 and 2003. The matter that really motivated the research was related to the essential principle that guided the accomplishment of the PAJA s teachers education and professionalization: understanding their reality and knowing their needs, promoting the dialogue between scientific and common sense knowledge. Taking as a reference the fact that the teachers education is not restricted to the academic qualification, that is, that it is a part of the educational process, which, in turn, is a result of each one s personal background, dialectically individual and collective, the access to the teachers reality and needs was accomplished by studying their backgrounds, especially their school and professional career. They, inevitably, focused themselves on the country life s social and cultural context, that could be better understood by living together with the teachers during the twenty-seven days I stayed in the Golfo s settlement, located in the town named Pacatuba/SE. The approach to the teachers lives through their stories and the daily contact proved how much Science is still distant from the peasants routine, sometimes being presented to them as a finished product . That way, the dialog between those two categories and the expectation of the country life s social and cultural conditions, together with the education, in which teachers have an essential role, still remain as a challenge

O currículo e as práticas pedagógicas na EJA: concepções e crenças dos professores da escola municipal Francisca Leonísia Cruz

The present investigation deals with the Curriculum and Pedagogical Practices of Young and Adults, EJA, and articulates with the conceptions and beliefs of teachers sitting. The empirical scope of this investigation consisted in the Municipal School Francisca Leonísia, located in the Agrarian Reform Settlement Serra Nova, city of Florânia/RN. Seeks to analyze the relationship between the Curriculum and Educational Practices of Young and Adult EJA - conceptions beliefs of these teachers. This work is based on qualitative research, interpretative character reflective and makes use of documentary analysis, structured interviews and reflective sessions as methodological procedures which ensure the achievement of our goals in research. These procedures allowed us to enter the practice setting and curriculum for teachers to understand how they think, prepare and practice of adult education in school curriculum research field. The documentary analysis provided the rethinking of the curriculum selected references, Political Pedagogical Project and Proposed Course of EJA, from a critical reading of concepts and conceptions given in these references, with a view to construction and reconstruction of concepts that reclaim the identity of young people and adult field, inserted in the Rural Workers Movement landless/MST. As reflective sessions were constituted in spaces of collective training and allowed the group to selfreflection e collective reflection about the ideas and beliefs that permeate the curriculum and guide their practices education in adult education. In these areas of training are also discussed current problems of adult education, the construction of an educational project of the adult education field to, warranties of learning and cultural identity of the adult education field and placed in the context of the MST. Under this view, it is concluded that the conceptions and beliefs of teachers seated directly relate to the curriculum designed, developed and practiced in adult education, as well as the educational practices that permeate the curriculum. This relation is in the midst of adversities of Rural Education, inserted in the Movement of Landless Rural Workers-MST, and requires the commitment of teachers to the necessary changes to an education are critical and emancipatory
