Field education: occupy, resist and produce at school

Abstract

Field Education, with the theoretical and pedagogical principles that will be presented from the analysis of documents from the Education Sector and academic productions of the Movement for Field Education, must be understood from the perspective of the MST and the struggle for land . Admittedly, it was within the movement that the principles that guide Field Education and lead it to the institutionalization process were built. However, we cannot neglect the plurality of the material and theoretical field that goes beyond social movements, while bringing together several different realities and desires. Given the size of this challenge, the objective of this text is to reflect on the path of education within the social movements fighting for land, in line with the principles that marked the trajectory of the movement's struggle. The paths followed since 1992, with the first essays on Education within the MST Education Sector, brought a legacy to teacher training. The analysis of the documents of the MST Education Sector guided the reflections of this work. The research was designed through theoretical and documentary research. The analyzes carried out lead us to recognize that the school fences were broken in order to penetrate the university walls. There is talk not only of Education for the Countryside, but of a national project of Education of the Countryside, which goes from Basic Education to Postgraduate.
