Resumen:
The reality of education in the rural areas in Brazil, especially in Bahia, presents a panorama which evokes in us, in a strong and definitive way, thinking of a pedagogical proposal, a curricular component which is born in the rural areas, is enriched in them, connects itself to the global and returns to the rural areas. The approach of this research around the pedagogy of alternance, in the rural family houses in the Baixo Sul area of Bahia brings to light this process of new formation in our midst. It is based on three aspects: 1 – technical: working the local economic culture contemplating a possible formation of a productive chain, 2 – curricular: working the formal curriculum adapted and enricehd for the local reality, 3 – human: helping to weave a web with local portagonists significantly involving family, society and school. The premise of this research is to understand that without significant and contextualized transformation the action will not change, for this to happen there needs to occur the triad: sensibility-reflection and action. Rural education needs an effective action aimed at environmental-family sustainability, fomentation of protagonism, juvenile (re)enchantment based on the pedagogy of alternance, created from the rural human being for the rural human being. We know that change is frightening and in this process it comes to agitate the bases of everything which one believed one knew and that was possible for the rural reality. Educators, learners and family are called to together build a new way of learning, of seeking a different way of seeing the world and the opportunities which it places in front of us. It is necessary that the veils be torn from our eyes so that we can understand that the place where we are born, even though it be in “the fields”, is also the place from which we can develop ourselves as individuals, without lacking any pillar for the construction of a dignified and full education, which helps walk the path to constant empowerment, active protagonism and efficient reenchantment.
