Narrativas autobiográficas de crianças em escola rural de Mossoró/RN

Abstract

The communication discusses issues related to the narratives and autobiographical writings of children from rural schools and aims to analyze narratives of students from the 4º/5º year about the countryside school, with an emphasis on the daily experiencesof the Raimundo Galdino da Silva Municipal School, located in the Cordão de Sombra II Settlement –rural area of the municipality of Mossoró/RN. The investigation is justified in the context of the necessary discussion and struggle for quality public education, more specifically for different rural communities, considering their specificities and ways of inhabiting rural territories. In the context of the researched city, there is no implementation of a policy for rural municipal schools, oriented to work in an urbancentric logic. We understand the rural environment as a diverse space, with its singularities that need to be respected, guaranteeing committed ways of life for the population of rural territories. The research is qualitative and anchored inthe principles of (auto)biographical research, through the children's narratives about their lives, how they see themselves, how they experience school and its meanings for their lives, seeking to understand what they feel, desire or no, based on the social repertoire they build in social interactions with their peers. In this sense, the children's reflective effort makes their narratives a precious object of study for accessing the constructions they make about what they experience at school.
