Characteristics of teaching practices in Rural Education: analysis of actions related to teacher training and experience report of pedagogical methodologies proposals for the teaching of specific content

Abstract

Rural Education-RE involves specific elements that are representative of the way of living in the countryside. In a brief search for references related to teacher education focused on CE and also examples of proposals for content teaching, an apparent lack of studies on these themes was identified. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to identify characteristics related to the training of teachers for CE and, in addition, to present practical examples of pedagogical methodologies for teaching specific subjects. For this, a bibliographic research was carried out in scientific articles as well as in a specific database and search engine. The results confirmed, for both themes, the gaps in the scientific literature. The articles found, in general, predominantly involve the analysis of teacher education in the North and Northeast regions. As for the proposals for pedagogical teaching methodologies, the themes are almost exclusively related to science, biology and sustainability. In conclusion, there is an understanding that other curricular components, such as Portuguese language, mathematics and others, have been neglected, either because of their understanding of their lesser relevance in relation to the subjects or contents mentioned, or because researchers are not producing research in this context.
