Memórias da luta pela terra no Assentamento Palmeiral-Vietnã em Esperantinópolis - MA: caderno didático, ensino de história e educação do campo

Abstract

The struggle for land is a historical reality in the Brazilian context and, in Maranhão, the Sarney Land Law (nº 2,979, of July 17, 1969) intensified conflicts over land in the state, by guaranteeing large amounts of land to companies and farmers, leaving rural workers without working conditions, which is why they began to organize themselves in favor of the fight for land. Part of this historicity is forgotten, because History Teaching does not cover such facts, especially in the voices of rural workers. In confronting the educational project made available to peasants, <the educational leftovers=, Rural Education was born, worrying about the political formation of peasants as a class and subjects of law, an education that aims to serve the collective interests of the class. This research aims to compile and analyze memories of the struggle for land in the Palmeiral-Vietnã Settlement (Esperantinópolis-MA), in order to provide contextualized teaching, which is part of the history of the community that houses the school, and, to this end, elaborated is a Didactic Notebook that articulates the assumptions of History Teaching and Rural Education, aimed at the 9th year of the Jefferson Moreira Municipal School, and can be used in other rural schools. From a methodological point of view, the research is diagnostic, exploratory and explanatory, with observations carried out at the school and interviews supported by Oral History. Although the researched settlement presents a discontinuity in terms of Rural Education, this educational paradigm, combined with History Teaching, corresponds to a possibility of building historical knowledge that values the identities of students as rural subjects.
