CARDOSO;, Lívia de Rezende  and  ARAUJO., Maria Inez de Oliveira. SCIENCE CURRICULUM: TEACHERS AND RURAL SCHOOLS. Ens. Pesqui. Educ. Ciênc. [online]. 2012, vol.14, n.2, pp.121-135. ISSN 1983-2117.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1983-21172013140208.

As a result of the movement "Por uma educação do Campo" - in Brazil -, the newrural school shall be understood as a place where knowledge is made from a direct relationship with the culture that people establish among them and with the place where they live. From this perspective, we aim to investigate the selection of contents carried out by Science teachers from rural schools, using interviews and questionnaires as research tools. It was verified that they construct the curriculum from a selection of contents by the adopted didactic book. Even though only a few teachers have showed small advances by trying to implement considerations from the local context and the everyday community life in the curriculum, we consider that this is not an intentional practice.
