A economia solidária no contexto da educação popular no campo: a ausência de uma práxis libertadora.

Abstract

The solidary economy and popular education emerged as a way of social manifestation, as opposed to the condition of oppression that minorities marginalized people suffer for the ruling elite. This study discusses that the practices based on the approaches and principles of the two movements provide students in the field with an educational base capable of to promote the social transformation of reality. The work contextualizes the historical process of the solidary economy, evidencing its inherences with the popular education. Describes the four historical periods of field education in Brazil and presents questions about Freire's conceptions of education. Through the data collected through the case study, it is noted that the School Bento Tenório de Souza High School, located on the Santa Catarina, in the municipality of Monteiro - PB is far from becoming a school of liberating practices aimed at autonomy and the preservation of the identity of the subject of the field. However, it was noted that the lack of a progressive education, compromises the possibility of the subjects to become liberate, and to change the reality in which they are inserted.
