ALMEIDA, Dóris Bittencourt. Uma obra referência para professores rurais: escola primária rural. Revista da FAAEBA: Educação e Contemporaneidade [online]. 2011, vol.20, n.36, pp.57-68. ISSN 0104-7043.

This paper analyzes the book Rural Primary School written by the professor and rural technician Ruth Ivoty Torres da Silva, in the early 1950s, in Rio Grande do Sul. The text of the book reveals representations constructed about the rural world; representations about the meanings of school, about teachers, students, rural populations in general. The study in question falls within the field of investigations of History of Education, which is a key component of the history of cultural practices and everyday society. It identifies itself within the theoretical assumptions of Cultural History, current historiographical approach which looks for alternatives to the traditional dynamic of history. The work also falls within the field of history of practices of reading and writing, taking as reference the conceptions of literacy as a discursive production of a particular time and place. Besides the presentation of the topics covered in the book, our research is particularly interested in the meanings of the dissemination of speeches broadcasted, the subjective processes provoked by texts and their possible influences in the ways rural teachers thought, acted and expressed themselves in the spaces where they build their identities. We understand that the book Rural Primary School constitutes a significant document in the history of education as it addresses relevant issues regarding the problem of education in peasant regions, relates experiences of rural activities undertaken in different schools and proposes empirical activities related to the pedagogical work of teachers.
