Opis

The school curriculum in the Lower Amazon needs to be widely discussed, especially in rural communities, through research that can contribute to the process of understanding the prescriptive curriculum, giving rise to new attitudes on the educational path. This research demonstrates the perspectives of teachers, students and community members on the curriculum of a school in the Bom Socorro community in the Vila Amazônia Agricultural Settlement in the municipality of Parintins in the Lower Amazon Region, through curricular interaction, based on the assumption of an Amazonian dialog about the Amazon, making it possible to break down the walls of an urban-centric curriculum. We point out that the curriculum in the Lower Amazon is urban-centric, but teachers interacting with the community build alternatives to demystify the illegal curriculum that forgets the reality of the community. This study helps to shed light on the need for the education of rural subjects to occupy the latifundium of knowledge, where the subjects themselves, who have forgotten the curriculum, build their school education processes based on the local reality, thus taking place in the cultural field of life of these Amazonian subjects.
