Abstract

The Degree in Rural Education was conceived as a response to the historical and social demands of Rural Social Movements, aiming at teacher training that values ​​the cultural and social diversity of rural areas. This research analyzed the potential, challenges and obstacles faced in the elaboration of pedagogical proposals and in the consolidation of the Bachelor's Degree Courses in Rural Education with a specialization in Natural Sciences, in Universities of the Central-West Region, based on Selection Notice nº 02/ 2012. To this end, semi-structured interviews were conducted with teacher trainers, in addition to data collection in three blocks: the first addressing the profile of teachers, followed by two focused on the challenges and potential of implementing and consolidating LEdoC. Despite difficulties, such as structural and institutional limitations, the courses remain as a result of the resistance and dedication of individuals committed to popular, counter-hegemonic education aligned with the needs of rural communities.
