Abstract(s)
O reordenamento do parque escolar originou o encerramento de muitas escolas 1º ciclo com reduzido número de alunos. As zonas rurais foram as mais afectadas pois viram desaparecer a única esperança de sobreviverem à desertificação a que estão votadas. As crianças vão sendo integradas em escolas maiores, multiculturais, nas quais, não raras vezes, a uniformização educativa teima em persistir por falta de meios. A evolução da nossa sociedade, nos diferentes âmbitos que constituem a sua complexa estrutura, tem levado à necessidade de reflectir e redefinir o lugar da escola e da educação.
A presente dissertação tem como objectivo compreender quais os pressupostos que estão na base da manutenção das escolas rurais, a análise das consequências do encerramento das pequenas escolas em meio rural: efeitos no espaço rural; resultados no processo educativo; nos valores e nas tradições. Pretende-se ainda conhecer qual a importância da relação escola/autarquia no que se refere ao desenvolvimento local e compreender a importância das escolas rurais na rede escolar.
Falar de escolas rurais, é também, inevitavelmente abordar o problema da ruralidade e da interioridade, é também percorrer o caminho das especificidades, das tradições e do desenvolvimento local que passam, em grande medida, pela escola.
When the School Modernisation Programme was applied, it meant that many primary schools (in the 1st Cycle) with only a few students enrolled in them were shut down. The rural areas were the most seriously affected as they saw the only hope they had in surviving the desertification to which they were condemned, disappear. The children are being absorbed into larger multicultural schools in which, not infrequently, standardised education has persisted owing to a lack of resources. The evolution of Portuguese society in the different spheres making up its complex structure has made it necessary to think about and redefine the role of school and education. The present dissertation has the aim of seeking to understand what the presuppositions are, lying at the basis of keeping the country schools up and running, and studying the outcome of closing the small schools located in the countryside: their effects on the rural space; their results on the educational process, values and traditions. A further goal is to learn about what the importance is of the relationship between the school/local government with regard to local development and perceive the importance of country schools within the school network. When speaking about country schools is also inevitable to raise the problem of rurality and living deep in the heartland, as well as trace the path revealing the specific nature, the traditions and local development that by and large affect the school.
