Analisys of the formation of educators of the Paulo César Vinha Settlement taking as a reference the concepts of isolated experiencie and long experience by Walter Benjamin and Jorge Larrosa Bondía

Abstract

This study aims to characterize the training experiences of educators in the modalities of Youth and Adult Education (EJA) and Rural Education, at the Córrego do Cedro School, from the Paulo César Vinha Settlement, which is linked to the Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST) and located in the municipality of Conceição da Barra, in the Northern region of the State of Espírito Santo. Taking Walter Benjamin and Jorge Larrosa Bondía's concepts of experience as a reference; and formation in a broad sense, from the perspective of Edna Castro de Oliveira, the research benefited from the methodological contribution of Participant Observation with eight youth and adult educators. Considering the theoretical-methodological concepts adopted, it was found, on the one hand, a scenario of impoverishment of the educators' experiences, with the predominance of the experience and, on the other hand, the existence of rare experiences of the educators potentiated by the constitution of the community of experiences with EJA students at the Paulo César Vinha Settlement.
