Biographical narratives in teacher education for the countryside: memories and experiences of the Escola da Terra Capixaba course

ABSTRACT The paper discusses the dimension of biographical narratives in the formation of teachers-educators in the countryside, through the course Escola da Terra Capixaba, whose second edition happened in 2017 and 2018, in Espírito Santo. It focuses on the debate on rural education and teacher training based on the experiences of the subjects who, in recording their biographies combined with life, work and training, share experiences and produce training processes, which provokes dialogues with the self, the other, and the world. As results, it is inferred that the biographical narratives of the rural teacher-educators bring life to the knowledge and doings of their experiences and fertilize the learnings from the reflections and tensions that they provoke on the narrative subject and on the listening collective. The work still results as propeller of other theoretical-methodological rationalities in the scope of the continued formation of rural teacher-educators.
