Abstract

Rural Education was born from social movements opposed to the market and urban-centric education imposed on the peoples of the forests, rivers, quilombos, and settlements of the Agrarian Reform. An education project is demanded that integrates and values the knowledge and experiences of these multiple subjects that resonate in the rigidity of the normative curriculum. This study is an excerpt from an ongoing master’s research project at the Graduate Program in Curriculum and Management of the Basic School at the Federal University of Pará whose focus is the curriculum of/for rural education implemented by the EMEF of Cururu located in the municipality of Salvaterra/PA. In this text, we present a bibliographic and documentary survey whose objective is to identify what guidelines theorists who focus on the study of Rural Education and the current Brazilian educational legislation offers regarding the construction of the curriculum of/for rural schools. To this end, we used documentary research as a methodological tool. We conclude that Rural Education, in the context of the discussion of documents and authors, brings to the debate the uniqueness of the countryside, its own forms of organization, its culture, traditions and relations established with the territory. These are singularities that cross the prescribed curriculum and compete for space in the real curriculum. In this relationship, the actual role of the curriculum in social transformation, in the construction of identity and in the formation of the student as a subject is claimed.
