LIMA, Elmo de Souza. Education and diversities in the rural schools: the construction of educational intercultural practices. Educação. Santa Maria [online]. 2018, vol.43, n.3, pp.535-552. ISSN 1984-6444.  https://doi.org/10.5902/1984644428878.

The educational projects implemented in the rural schools are based on a pedagogical thinking associated to the technical rationality, which favors an educational model centered on the reproduction of knowledge and values considered to be "universal truths", linked to the "Eurocentric" and "North-American" cultural matrices. The educational practices instituted in this context show the presence of an authoritarian and colonizing pedagogy, in the means that they ignore and/or silence the knowledge and the cultural experiences of the various people who inhabit this territory, and promote the reproduction of knowledge that are displaced from that socio-historical and cultural context. In this work, we seek to reflect on the struggles of social movements in defense of a rural education project, commited to the valorization of rural people's social practices, to the collective production of knowledge and the construction of alternatives for social transformation.

Palabras clave : Rural education; Interculturality; Social transformation.
