Peasant Education: Mishaps in the construction of the undergraduate course in peasant education at the Regional University of Cariri

Abstract

ABSTRACT. This is a collective work for requiring all of us the effort to reflect on our practice. In it, we report and think about the difficulties in the construction and during the course of graduation in peasant education of the Regional University of Cariri (LEDOC/URCA). We intend to contribute to the implementation of other teacher training courses such as this one, based on the contextualized peasant education and alternation as a basis for building a new sociability, adopting liberating education as proposed by Freire (2007) and the Landless Movement. From the initial diagnosis, made by the teachers and students of the course, the main difficulty faced was the alternation, so we understand the need to reflect about pedagogical practices because we are not used to look at the socio-political context and, from it dealing with the challenges we found. The accomplishment of this case study required the reading of the documents that regulate the operation of the course; Reports on meetings, seminars and teaching practices; We dialogued with the research findings underway led by the LEDOC / URCA coordination. We point out that this experience is an enriching starting point in the search for institutionalization of LEDOC as a regular course.
