PADAWER, Ana. Con el invernadero aprendimos todos… Aprendimos todo. Conocimientos y prácticas sociales de jóvenes rurales. Revista da FAAEBA: Educação e Contemporaneidade [online]. 2011, vol.20, n.36, pp.79-92. ISSN 0104-7043.

In this article I will use the concept of legitimate peripheral participation (Lave y Wanger, 2007) in order to identify situated learning processes which are conducted by rural young people incorporated to family work. Knowledge about natural world is achieved by participating in communities of practices (Wenger, 2003), and by that involves learning about social life. The article is based on an anthropological fieldwork research started in 2008 in a zone of San Ignacio Department (Misiones province, northeast of Argentine), located near of the city head. By a narrative of a young boy´s experience, obtained by observations, and interviews with him, his mother and one of his sisters; and that was also made in relation with other testimonies of public administrators, teachers, children, young people and adults of the same zone, I demonstrate how some youth learn, but also project a future in educational and occupational terms, from their school experience and participation in family´s productive activities.

Keywords : Knowledge; Social Practices; Rural Education; Youth; Learning.
