BIRDSONG LICENTIATES IN RURAL EDUCATION IN NATURAL SCIENCES

ABSTRACT³:

The research presented in this paper was structured around the following problem: how Rural Education dialogues with the Sciences of Natural, in teacher training in licentiate courses? The objectives were: a) Understand how the dialogue between Rural Education and Nature Sciences is established in LEDOC/UFRGS, based on the experiences reported by the graduates; b) Identify experiences of graduates of LEDOC/UFRGS, developed during the course, from the interviews conducted. The theoretical framework was composed of texts: related to Rural Education, marked out by the educator Paulo Freire and contribution by other authors. This was a qualitative case study that used semi-structured interviews as a research instrument. The research participants were the first graduates of the Licentiate’s in Rural Education - Natural Sciences, from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. Discursive Textual Analysis (DTA) was used on the answers obtained from the interviews. The results were discussed based on four categories which are: the marks resulting from the training, pedagogy of alternation, training in Natural Sciences and interdisciplinarity. In response to the research problem, interdisciplinarity aimed at understanding the lived world, is the central element that articulates the dialogue between the Rural Education and the Sciences of the Nature, in the teachers training in the rural context.
