Researcher evaluates advantage of contextual education



Monkfish. Change and liberation as the effects of contextual education process, experienced in some municipalities in the region of the Barrens Crateús and Inhamuns are identified and valued by Italian researcher Lalita Kraus. The observed effects are, among others, reducing the rural exodus and greater environmental awareness
The new model of education that involves students and families of rural schools in modular activities that highlight the value and semiarid, facilitating learning and coexistence of all in the region, is the subject of his PhD at the Institute of Urban and Regional Planning (IPPUR), Fluminense Federal University (UFRJ).
Lalita is the first year of the survey, which will run for four more, when will complete a doctorate in Urban and Regional Planning. With a background in economics and social sciences, the Italian came to Brazil in 2011, through an NGO. With international experience working with social movements and third sector in his country, England and Thailand, met in 2012 the experience of Caritas in Crateús, where he served for a year. Fell in love, as you say, by the contextual education project developed by focusing on the semiarid entity.
"I knew the process in this period and I think that is an interesting way to do education because the traditional way is to base content and no longer fits in the current reality, does not respond and does not give more account of the diversity of contemporary society" he says. Your search is still holds about acting Education Network (Brazilian Semiarid RESAB), which has several joint publications dealing with contextual education in the Brazilian semiarid.
Lalita's thesis analyzes the process of contextual education at the base, with students, teachers, families and communities as well as the network as a whole, focusing on the impact and result in educational, political and social policy terms.
construction
The idea is to build a theoretical framework, with the pillar the ideas of the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, whose social analysis was built on three concepts: field, habitus and capital. "The textbooks of traditional education are produced in Southeast and not bring the culture of each region. Via the new model people can understand belonging, recognize and identify in your reality. This is a liberating and transformative process," stresses .
From the monitoring of the process in 2012 when he worked at Caritas, an organization that coordinates the educational approach developed in three municipalities of the region (Monkfish, Quiterianópolis and Independence) and conducts interviews with the individuals involved, and observation in moments of theoretical and practical classes, curriculum and training activities, the researcher lists as fundamental elements in the new model.
For her, three elements are clear as effects of contextual education in the region: the multiplier, which currently are educators and have been trained in the new proposal; new vision of semiarid in families and the investment of public power, and finally, one that will start the search, which is the role of RESAB as empowering process.
"I realize that many people who were involved and were formed in the new model today are multipliers. They understood, accepted and reproduced with greater ease. Families get involved because students take the knowledge home. Whatever was produced, which is part of their reality, young people take to their home and community with enthusiasm and this has a major impact.'s government realizes the results indicators and visibility that the proposal brings to the city, "he adds.
nuances
All these nuances of pedagogical proposal, which completed seven years in Monkfish, is to the researcher evidence that can bring great results for the company, as an effective educational alternative and positive interference in the processes of development, political and societal planning . It also emphasizes that the construction of social movements with the government points to the possibility and necessity of cooperation between them and political change. "Can become public and police believe that the model of education is so broad that it can be applied in any reality, "he says.
migration
As the Diocesan Caritas, the work has resulted in a significant reduction of the processes of migration to cities, greater integration of men and women in the field in building a family farming adapted to semiarid considering their climatic, environmental and geographical boundaries and with ideological proposition for a new look about historical political and cultural issues such as access to land; patriarchy; Eurocentrism in relation to ethnicity and race, among others. Furthermore, brought the possibility of constituting themselves new production benchmarks in respect to economic and environmental sustainability, working to propose public policies and the construction of agroecological production benchmarks.
"The results are strong and numerous, especially the reduction in migration processes, the emergence of new technologies, the significant reduction of fires and use of pesticides, the quality in family and school relationships and raising the level of learning," says sister Herbênia de Sousa, coordinator of Caritas Crateús. Says that after the results of many municipalities seek the institution to implement the project.
"I am very proud today to see my grandchildren go to school not only out of obligation, but because they like," says Manoel Theodosius, 78, a resident of Monkfish, where contextual education is universalized in the countryside.
