Countryside education: effects of inequality in acess and remaining at school

Cardoso Sousa dos Santos — 2025-11-05

This work discusses the reasons that lead rural students to discontinue their school studies. The general objective of the work is to understand the causes that led graduates not to remain in Basic Education at a rural school. With specific objectives: to point out factors that contributed to this withdrawal; outline alternatives for implementing public policies that will contribute to the end of educational, social, political and cultural inequalities in rural areas; analyze Rural Education as a space of identity and survival. Participatory research with a qualitative approach was used, starting with theoretical foundations in Caldart (2000, 2002, 2010), Arroyo (2007, 2011), Salomão Hage (2014), Bicalho (2017), Martins (2020) and Saviani (2016 ) and based on the legal frameworks of the Federal Constitution 1988 and the National Education Guidelines and Base Law (LDBEN, 9.394, BRASIL, 1996). The field research was carried out with former students of the José Pinto da Silva municipal school, using a questionnaire administered to six (6) former students as a data collection instrument. In view of the data analysis, the inclusion of Secondary Education in Basic Education in the field was evident. Therefore, from the research carried out with former students, it was possible to notice the absence of public power with the peasant populations.

Renan Moi — 2025-07-31

With the aim of understanding the perceptions and experiences of professionals linked to the Unified Health System regarding interprofessional preceptorship, in addition to understanding the challenges and possibilities for advances and resolution in health care based on the teaching-service-community triad, this qualitative and descriptive research was carried out. The data collection technique used was the focus group, with eight face-to-face meetings with health professionals who worked as preceptors in northern RS between August and November 2021. The results showed the perceptions and experiences of the preceptors from an interprofessional perspective, in addition to the challenges and contributions of this process, especially in the teaching-service-community approach. However, considerations were noted about the therapeutic itineraries and the fragmentation of health care provided in the services. Upon completing the actions, it was possible to understand the specificities and importance of each health professional, identifying a deficit in fragmented and technical training, thus not in line with the interprofessionality foreseen and present in the Unified Health System.

Natural ecosystems as a theme in science teaching: Lagoa do Vigário

Clara Ayume Ito de Lima — 2025-11-03

The Vigario lagoon is an aquatic ecosystem located in an urban area of Campos dos Goytacazes city and has been suffering constant anthropogenic pressure. The objective of the present study was to verify the perception of students and science teachers from a public school in relation to the Vigario lagoon. The use of lagoon as a teaching tool were verified through the application of a semi-structured questionnaire. The relation between students and lagoon was not meaningful, since they did not include themselves in the drawings. In the illustrations, they used anthropic elements such as the boardwalk around the body of water and portrayed the environment with natural elements such as a water with blue color, flowers and trees around the pond. The use of Vigario lagoon as a teaching tool can contribute to a re-signification of this environment, improve students' learning and their connection with the environment.
