Education In Rural Contexts In Ibero-America: Paths, Perspectives And Challenges

Abstract

Addressing the rural and the education aimed at the planet generates a series of challenges, especially if the concern is to expand a reading beyond Brazil. We enter a field of interdisciplinary knowledge production that requires, from our specialized vision in education, a comprehensive effort of problems, themes and theoretical constructions that are not prioritized in the area, but that are foundations in/from our social practice. This special edition of the Ibero-American Journal of Education brings research, reports and reflections on Education in Rural Contexts of Ibero-America, demonstrating the plurality of practices in the face of contextual differences and the common challenges and potentialities to build an education that represents and is produced in the peoples of the Ibero-American area. The text aims to make an introduction to this monograph, presenting initial discussions and promoting reading for those interested in (re)knowing rural and countryside education in Ibero-America.
