MOLINA, Rodrigo Sarruge. The History of Agricultural Education in Brazil: Countryside education versus landholder education. Educ. Puc. [online]. 2019, vol.24, n.3, pp.463-476. ISSN 2318-0870.  https://doi.org/10.24220/2318-0870v24n3a4394.

This article aims to discuss teaching and education in the Brazilian countryside, evidencing antagonistic projectsthat dispute educational and productive hegemony in the field. This is a result of a postdoctoral research,this analysis is supported by the dialectical historical materialist theory and methodology, and is inserted ineducation fundamental areas and subareas: “History of Education” and “Education in the Countryside”. Themain result of this study points to a historical and structural dualism in the Brazilian agricultural educationin which the dominant ruralist class imposed two projects: a theoretical, managerial, elitist education for thefarmers’ children and their managers, and a more practical, alienated “proletarian” education for agricultural“manual” workers, reflecting on teacher training and educational systems. Today, the rural world has aninnovation, the “Education in the Countryside” program, which proposes to break with this historical dualismoffering a liberating solution, defending the interests of the “workers of the soil”, in which peasants, riparians,natural hunters, natives and other rural workers are the protagonists of their own future.

Keywords : Landsman education; Great landholder education; History of education; Public policies in education.
