Gestão escolar e escola do campo: o caso da E.M.E.F. General Osório - Constantina - RS

Abstract

The present work analyzes the circumstances that have led to a gradual reduction of agricultural communities and their schools. We took as specific study object Escola Municipal de Ensino Fundamental General Osório – a countryside school located in Linha Savaris – Constantina-RS. The adopted methodology is of quantitativequalitative character, type case study, aiming at a detailed analysis of the school in question. The field work was carried out through an exhausting bibliographical revision and carried through by means of documentary analysis and application of questionnaires to students and teachers and oral reports by means of halfstructuralized interviews of members of the CPM (Parents and Teachers Commission), ex-principals, present principal and the municipal education coordinator. The analyses had shown that narrow links exist between the public policies to the agricultural sector and the Countryside Education.
