摘要:This study explores the relation between rural and technical education (EP), taking into account the constant changes in the work field, as well as the dilemmas and perspectives of the human formation in the rural area. This demand challenges the expansion of the federal education system and the possibilities of the education based on the alternation education and learning model, at the Proeja´s courses, in the federal institutes’ campuses. Thus, this study builds on studies on popular education, work and education, adult education (EJA), and the praxis as the foundational category that mobilizes reflections and actions towards other ways of offering EJA integrated with EP in the rural areas.
