O trabalho como princípio educativo na proposta de educação do MST

Abstract

The Education that’s been gestated by MST – Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra is the result of the teaching practices built over the course of the 37 years of this organization’s existence. The link between Land Reform, education and societal transformation is the differential among other grassroots peasant organizations, since it articulates the struggle for rural credit, electrification, co-op organization, the construction of a genuine field education foistered along a structural change in society. Amid the numerous philosophical and pedagogical principles, the labor constitutes one of the founding principles of MST’s education. This dissertation longed to investigate how labor configures as an educational tenet in the organization’s educational purpose. In this sense, what is being analyzed is labor, as understood in the Marxist frame of reference. The research is of mostly qualitative nature and the methodological instrumentation used were the bibilographical and documental review. The frame of reference of this paper had the Historical-Critical Pedagogy as a milestone, that’s been substantiated in the historical and dialetic materialism and has human emancipation as an assumption, through the pedagogical action founded in the práxis and the works of Dermeval Saviani about labor as an educational tenet.
