COOPERATIVISMO NO ENSINO SUPERIOR: O caso da Cooperativa de Ensino Superior de Rubiataba

Abstract

This dissertation is about a superior level study Cooperative of Rubiataba CESUR and the Faculty of Education and Sciences of Rubiataba FACER maintained by the latter. It also deals, otherwise, with the analysis of its trajectory and contributions to the democratization of the third degree studies. We present this work as a case study of a cooperative that became a limited society soon after, once it could not be registered in the Brazil Cooperative Organization OCB. The work showed that the studied theme was moved by the involvement of the researcher with all the cooperatives of the city of Rubiataba, mainly the CESUR FACER. First, we show a synthesis of the history of the cooperativism, his precursors, the systematization of the fact and the creation of the first cooperative, Rochdale, the traditional cooperative and its possibilities of contribution to the democratization of the third degree study in Brazil, the emerging of a new cooperativist way, the solidary one and the cooperative movement seen as possible economic alternatives to be implemented as a model to super the capitalism. The dissertation aligns the evolution of the third degree study level and the existence of the brazilian tendency to private schools, limiting so, by means of economical questions, the access of young people to the university. We make reference to Mondragon Corporacion Cooperativa indicating the possibility of cooperative study proposal. The studies were finalized by an analysis of the CESUR/FACER case and the associative-cooperative ideas inspirators of the implementation attempt of a third degree level of study in the region. The research realized for this work construction points to valorous contributions of CESUR/FACER in its real proposal, otherwise, shows that those ones would be more significant if the CESUR had had stayed as it was originally thought and conceived. The construction of cooperation networks, the intercooperation practice, the Mondragon example for the strengthening of the cooperative proposal, would be a way. This real work was built under the optic of a qualitative research methodology, with a participatory observation, for the CESUR/FACER case study where were also used interviews, documental study for data collection e final analysis.
