Corporeity and teacher practice in the education of the field in the Paraense Amazon

Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate, from the foundations of Corporeity and Field Education, the meanings that teachers attribute to the body in teaching practice in the rural territories of Santarém, located in the Amazon Paraense. Methodologically, it is a qualitative study with a phenomenological approach, organized in two stages: bibliographical and field research. For the production and analysis of data, we used the Technique of Elaboration and Analysis of Units of Significance, developed by Moreira, Simões and Porto (2005). Theoretical developments impute a dialogue between Corporeity and Field Education, supported by authors who evoke the themes. Field data focused on subjects' discourse, through which it was found that they comprehend the body in its totality, with multiple possibilities of knowledge and social interaction. As well, it has been verified that there are experiences of corporeity in the teaching practice with valorization of the peasant knowledge.
