Rompendo paradigmas: os caminhos da área de educação em uma instituição de tradição agrária

Abstract

This research investigated the creation, trajectory and consolidation of the area of Education, Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ), taking as empirical reference the creation of the Institute of Education (IE) and their degree courses. The University Reform (Law 5.540 / 68) determined that all higher education institutions that they wanted to continue as universities should create courses in all fields of knowledge. To adapt to the new law the UFRRJ found himself obliged to create IE, even in the face of resistance in Superior Councils and discrimination from teachers and students. The Institute was passed over for many years and little developed. However, currently, has two Master's programs and five graduate courses. The question we seek to answer with this research is: How did the establishment of the Education area in UFRRJ? We use the inductive method, because it is based on experience. To know in detail our object of study used the Case Study procedure, from the techniques of literature review, document and semi structured interviews. The revisions were based on the time frame of 1968 to 2010. The interviews were conducted with two teachers from each course (LICA , EF and Pedagogy), the selected teachers contributed to the creation of the respective courses , or were students and teachers are currently the same. We conclude that the institution felt compelled to create the area of Education to keep your University status and that its establishment and the creation of their courses are given from a process involving a change in educational law, the impositions of the military dictatorship and Finally the action of IE professors, especially the Department of Theory and Education Planning (DTPE) for the benefit of the area.
