Educação Popular como teoria e prática da Educação do Campo: diálogos com Paulo Freire.

Abstract

This article emerges from a research that we carried out during the doctorate, from of the documental analysis of the practices that constitute the Education Movement of the Field. We also carried out a literature review on the contribution of Paulo Freire and Popular Education for the Political-Pedagogical Movement-Epistemic of Rural Education, which emerges in Brazil at the end of the decade of 1990, as a contrast to the hegemonic corporate project and the model of Rural Education. To do so, we initially explain the concept of Education Popular (EP) that we have adopted, considering it as a theory and practice of education and as a fundamental matrix for the implementation of educational practices school and non-school in the countryside. Then, it is discussed how the movements popular educational institutions and peasant class organizations were constituted as sowings of Rural Education. Finally, we present the emergence of Rural Education as a paradigm, struggle movement, set of practices education and educational policies in dialogue with Paulo Freire.
