Abstract

The present dissertation under the title Educational processes of work at Coopervag: a case study on the production and supply of food to the PNAE in Vargem Grande - MA aims to identify, describe and analyze the educational practices present in the cooperative work developed by the Cooperativa Agroextrativista dos Pequenos Rural Producers of Vargem Grande – MA (Coopervag) in their production process and food supply for the PNAE. It is proposed to verify, from studies on the relationship between education, work in family farming and the PNAE, how these practices contribute to the emancipation of cooperatives. The participants were five farmers, associated with the cooperative, residing in the Padre Trindade Settlement in the municipality of Vargem Grande – MA. From the perspective of historical-dialectical materialism as a method, a case study was carried out using a group interview following a twelve-question script and for data treatment the content analysis and the triangulation technique proposed by Triviños (1987), from the information collected in the group interview, document analysis data and other observed data. It is concluded that the educational processes occur within the cooperative through the exchange of experiences between the cooperative members and continuing education courses; factors were observed that indicate the emancipatory process of those workers who found financial benefits and changes in their experiences in cooperative work. Thus, they gain autonomy through the development of their work techniques and modification of their ways of perceiving the world and relating to it, that is, the elements of emancipation are present in different perspectives.
