Contributions from Trade-Off Pedagogy to Agriculture and Cattle Raising Technicians Training: the case of Escola Família Agrícola de Jaboticaba – Quixabeira - Bahia

Abstract

Education is constituted and a constituent of a people's culture and social organization. Based on this assertion, we consider that the theoretical and methodological assumptions of Pedagogy of Alternation enable the construction and realization of educational processes in the perspective of human emancipation. In this understanding, this article aims to analyze contributions from Pedagogy of Alternation to the training of young peasants linked to the Escola Família Agrícola de Jaboticaba - Bahia (BA), in the High School Technical Education Course in Agriculture Integrated to High School. Alternation is developed in educational times called Tempo Escola (TE), when there is a theoretical-practical study that dialogues with Tempo Comunidade (TC), in which the student expands the production of knowledge together with the family's agricultural production activities and, eventually, from the community. The research makes a critical interpretation about the organization of the pedagogical work that the school, field of research, carries out. Based on direct observation of TE activities and documentary research, the authors investigate the political-pedagogical and work principles presented in the Political Pedagogical Project (PPP), in the Reality Book (CR) and in the Supervised Internship Report (ES) of the students. The results show that, in the alternation of TE and TC, the pedagogical processes (pre) are concerned with sustainable development and with the production of knowledge supported by the concrete reality of the social daily life of students and their communities.
