Abstract

This research aimed to discuss Rural Education and Rural Education and their influences on the formation of rural individuals. The research started from the following question: which model characterizes, from the schools investigated, the education that is offered to the rural populations targeted by the research, Rural Education or Rural Education? Knowing whether the prevailing model can contribute to the construction of students' social identity, working from the reality where they are inserted, is an aspect that we believe is crucial in the policies for Education in the country and in its federated entities. To expand our information, we conducted a bibliographic search, bringing in some theorists who were able to contribute to the research. Rural Education is centered on learning that values not only academic knowledge, but also knowledge acquired by students in their communities. As a result, we intend to raise some points regarding the educator's posture in the classroom. We do not intend to criticize the methodology used in the classroom, but rather to investigate the extent to which it may or may not contribute to the social formation of students who go to school to learn, it is the role of the teacher to transmit knowledge, but it is the right of students to participate in construction of this knowledge, which the Education of the Field has been trying to provide.
