Abstract

RIBEIRO, Marlene. Co-operative work: challenges for the primary school. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2001, n.17, pp.20-39. ISSN 1413-2478.

The purpose of  this paper is to identify those challenges which cooperative work, developed by 'settled' farmers. raise for the primary school. The methodology involves a literature review about economic solidarity and action research carried out in  settlements established by the Land Reform and in rural schools in the municipality of Piratini/RS. The research focuses on the relation between co-operative work and school education. The discourse of the subjects of the research reveals the conflict between the formation required for cooperative agricultural work and the model of basic education on which rural education is based.
