Contexting rural spanish education in the XX and XXI Centuries

Abstract

This paper has aims object of study the environment and education offered to the spanish rural populations and the objective of proposing possible definitions that can express the understanding about the rural education conceived historically from the capitalist economic transformations between the twentieth and twentieth centuries XX and XXI. The analyzes sought to recognize the realities and educational needs of rural populations, as well as pointing out the urban and rural environments as spaces that make up the same universe. In the development of the research we focus the discussions on the changes that occurred with the rural school and the rural education in Spain, through analysis, interpretation and reflection of research carried out by spanish and brazilian scholars with the objective of harmonizing conceptions of rural education in the contemporary society. We seek not to restrict our understanding of rural education to a pedagogical conception of mere permanence of man on earth, considering that it is necessary to externalize the defense of a broad and universalizing schooling for the farmers from the economic question.
