HISTÓRIA E MEMÓRIA DA ESCOLA VALE DO RIO DOCE 1991-2008

Abstract

The contextualization of this research approaches the narrative of oral history that is a way of reviving history and memory. Through this, there is the possibility of democratizing sources and authors who report their experiences and struggles for improvements to the Vale do Rio Doce School. Political contexts reveal the need for specialized field education, since so-called rural education reflects the process of colonization with European influences. The historiography of the Vale do Rio Doce Rural Municipal School of Primary Education is presented, focusing on its creation in 1991, in the estate of Mr. Sebastião Cabral, in the change in 1999 to the Água Bonita Settlement and in the structuring with the current building in 2008 The knowledge of the memory of the Vale do Rio Doce is necessary so that its history is not forgotten. The methodology of oral history is the primary source that sought to understand the history of the School that covers the panorama of the events of the municipality of Rio Verde in the state of Goiás, the MST and the Rio Verdinho settlement. The choice of object and objectives became more relevant with the realization that facts and dates present gaps and doubts that required further investigation to be more clearly answered. Oral history is coupled with the theoretical and documentary foundations provided by SMERV. The task of gathering the information into the thesis was complex enough, because understanding and writing the trajectories, given the lack of data in the SMERV reports, seemed too difficult for the short time of the research. However, the materiality of oral history made it possible to understand most of the causalities. As the main result of this study, we have the motives that deliberated the trajectory of the School, emphasizing the preservation of its memory, but not in a crystallized way, but rather to amplify the conflicts of the new realities of studies that reinterpret the events at each time in the light of new experiences. It is concluded that the construction of the thesis recorded the history and memory of the Vale do Rio Doce School, making it scientific, revealing its educational culture of the field.
