: ARTICULATING FREIRE-STS EDUCATION WITH RURAL EDUCATION: A LOOK AT THE BASE NACIONAL CURRICULAR COMUM (BNCC)
Freire-STS Education; Rural Education; BNCC.
The aim of this research was to identify interlocutions between Rural Education and Freire-STS Education. Then we analyzed the Base Nacional Curricular Comum (BNCC) based on common dialogues between this document and the parameters resulting from the articulation between the two fields. We read theoretical texts, a thesis and six dissertations in the field of science teaching, to learn more about the links between Rural Education and Freire-CTS Education. This analysis allowed us to observe how these productions are distributed in Brazil, which themes were addressed and, how the authors aligned the articulation. This analysis made it possible to see how these productions are distributed in Brazil, which themes were covered and how the authors aligned the articulation. We divided the methodological process into two stages. In the first one, we searched for representative texts, using descriptors, from full papers published in the Proceedings of all the editions of the Encontro Nacional de Pesquisa em Educação em Ciências (Enpec) and from articles in journals. We cut out everything that wasn't proposed for the classroom. From this, we found three full papers and four articles from science teaching journals. All of them were submitted to Análise Textual Discursiva (ATD). From the analysis, four parameters that articulate Rural Education and Freire-STS Education emerged: Concern for the subjects; Overcoming the "culture of silence"; Critical participation and Problematization of reality. With these categories, it was possible to see that the articulation of the fields can contribute to the students' process of awareness and action on their reality, affirming the peasant way of being, farming and living. In the second stage, also using ATD, we analyzed the BNCC to identify intentions in the document that converge with the perspectives of the Articulating Parameters of Rural Education and Freire-STS Education. The investigation was based on the parameters resulting from the bibliographic analysis, but other categories emerged later: Youth, Active social participation and Society based on contextualization. From this investigation, we infer that the pedagogical concepts of the BNCC depart from the perspective of the Articulating Parameters. As far as the understanding of the peasant subjects is concerned, the neutral way in which aspects of this reality are presented was perceived. This contrasts with direct conflicts with the existence of these subjects and the absence/intention not to engage in social transformation.
