SILVA, Catarina Malheiros da. Não ser só um carregador de livro: elaborações de jovens rurais sobre a escola. Revista da FAAEBA: Educação e Contemporaneidade [online]. 2011, vol.20, n.36, pp.137-148. ISSN 0104-7043.

Given the centrality of school for the realization of individual projects, this article aims to understand the meaning of school experiences for the young people from the Espraiado District and farms, located in the rural area of Palmas de Monte Alto, in Bahia. A field study was conducted in which participant observation, ethnography and discussion groups were the main instruments for data collection. Two discussion groups with young males and females enrolled in the final years of elementary school were implemented. The analysis was made using the Documentary Method of Interpretation developed by Karl Mannheim as adapted to make it suitable for empirical social research by Ralf Bohnsack. The results presented here indicate that school has positive meanings for girls and boys, given that this is a rural area in a small municipality in which the schooling process took place late and with a sexist connotation.
