Curriculum conceptions and Field Education: a Systematic Review of Literature in national publications

Abstract

The present work aims to identify the concept of curriculum present in articles that discuss Rural Education. We chose to carry out a Systematic Literature Review (RSL) in the electronic journal of the Revista Brasileira de Educação do Campo and in the Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo) database. To this end, a mapping of publications was carried out in order to carry out a subsequent analysis for conducting the RSL, thus, a specific Study Protocol was created. The research question that guided this investigation consisted of identifying which curriculum conception is present in the articles published on rural schools, in the Revista Brasileira de Educação do Campo and in the Scielo Brasil database, whose time frame was from 2016 to 2021. Data analysis was based on the understanding of Content Analysis, according to Bardin (1977). In the search for an answer to the research question, we sought to guide the analysis through categories that emerged during the reading and organization of the data. It was found that there is little research on the subject, which highlights the need for more investigations in this area, therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the construction of Political and Pedagogical Projects with the participation of the school community in rural schools.
