Escola como espaço de territorialidade na comunidade Genipapo, Feira de Santana - Bahia

Abstract

This work seeks to present the actions developed through the Degree Course in Rural Education with an emphasis on Natural Science-LEDOC, aiming to understand the relationship between the Timóteo Ferreira da Silva School and the Genipapo community. This research was developed at Escola Núcleo Municipal Timóteo Ferreira da Silva, and to organize the ideas and discussions presented, we methodologically used qualitative research, Freirean, techniques and instruments of participatory research, field observation, oral and photographic records, bibliographic review, application of semi-structured interviews and conversation circles. The analyzes carried out led us to understand that the peasant territory of the Genipapo Community has its specificities, which need to be inserted in the school environment, so that together, school and community, they can contribute to the formation of the peasant identity of rural students, strengthening the culture and the struggles of these people for public policies that meet local needs.
