Da fuligem à edificação do Grupo Escolar Rural Usina Bandeirantes: narrativas que contam história(s)

Abstract

Interested in investigating aspects of the history of rural primary school in the state of Paraná, especially in the Northern Pioneer region, focusing on the School Groups, implemented around the 1940s, in this research we intend to elaborate a historical version about the Usina Bandeirantes School Group, which It worked from 1947 to 1977, on the premises of a sugar and alcohol plant, in the municipality of Bandeirantes - PR. Therefore, we use Oral History as a theoretical-methodological approach. The school modality studied in this work, the School Groups, represents a restricted number in the set of rural primary schools in the northern state of Paraná. From this study, our intention is to highlight a perception of how a socio-historical scenario about the teaching of the first letters in the rural countryside of the interior of Paraná is outlined, as well as a walk on the physical structures of the school until entering the conceptions of the classroom. This study generated an educational product: a collection of booklets that tell a history(s) of local rural education in the northern region of the State of Paraná.
