Uma investigação historiográfica sobre a Escola Itinerante Valmir Motta de Oliveira

Abstract

This research aimed to carry out a historiographical investigation about the process of constitution and functioning of the Itinerant School Valmir Motta de Oliveira, located in the Valmir Mota de Oliveira Camp, in the municipality of Jacarezinho, state of Paraná. Itinerant schools in Paraná aim to guarantee access to education for children and young people during periods, often long, of land occupation in rural encampments, led by the Landless Rural Workers Movement. This school, specifically, began its activities in August 2008, shortly after the occupation of Fazenda Itapema, and continues to this day. For the development of this research, we used Oral History as a theoretical-methodological basis, from which nine interviews were carried out, which constitute narratives, which are the main historiographical sources of this investigation. With that, reflections were carried out on the following themes: the opposition between itinerant schools and urban schools; the beginning of the school even before there was a building that could be called a school; and the difficulties of putting into practice the educational proposal of these schools. A paradidactic book was also prepared as an educational product with the objective of presenting the history of the Valmir Motta de Oliveira Itinerant School, mainly to the children who study there. This educational product is in the format of a comic book and records the constitution of the school, dealing with the camp at Fazendas Itapema and Cambará, the improvised places for classes and the great collective work that the community did to build the school. and maintain its operation.
