Geography in the study plan of itinerant schools: the concepts of environment and work as foundations of human formation

Abstract

The article characterizes the Study Plan of the Itinerant Schools of the Landless Rural Workers Movement and evaluates the participation of Geography in the curricular proposal. The research follows the theoretical and methodological presuppositions of bibliographical and documentary research. The proposal of the "Study Complexes" of the Itinerant School is based on Pistrak (2009), in the Soviet educational experience. This is based on historical and dialectical materialism. The concept of environment is the starting point for pedagogical work. The concept of work is understood as socially necessary, in the broad sense of human creative activity, therefore, of man's space. The school content of Geography practically participates of all the Complex Units and contributes, systematically, to the integral human formation sought by the proposal.
