This article articulates the debate on the initial training of rural teachers, Youth and Adult Education (EJA) and the psychosocial processes that guide the training of teachers to / in rural schools. To this end, it embarks on the theoretical field of Social Representations (RS) in order to analyze the senses and meanings of teachers who completed the Degree Course in Rural Education under the contribution of their training process to work in the EJA / countryside in the Amazon Paraense. This is a qualitative study of the exploratory / explanatory type that used the questionnaire and the semi-structured interview to collect the data. The results of this study indicate that the Social Representations of the teachers about the Degree in Rural Education are enrolled in meanings that reaffirm that specific training, geared to the needs of rural people, contributed with knowledge and teaching-learning processes that potentialized (re) thinking and innovating pedagogical practices. The rural teachers also see the course as a space for the production of differentiated knowledge of being and becoming a teacher of EJA in the field, insofar as they help to understand the social and political dynamics of the peasant way of life in the Brazilian Amazonian rural areas.

From a theoretical and interpretive perspective, the present article aims to discuss the socio-political context of the proposal for training teachers for Rural Education from the pressures of rural movements and the involvement of institutional partnerships. So, how did the socio-political process for the involvement of the state and institutions to promote the training of rural teachers? For this, we seek to present the differences between the educational realities offered in the rural areas and in the city in Brazil; to discuss the emergence of the demand for a specific peasant education as a process of resistance to agribusiness interests in the 20th century; and to present the insertion of the social demands of the rural areas in the guidelines of the state through Pronera and adhesion of the public Universities in the formation of rural teachers. The study is qualitative, explanatory and bibliographic having as the theoretical basis the Rural Education as a space for social struggle. As a result, it became evident that the political and institutional actions aimed at training teachers in the field took place as a product of the pressures of social movements, with due emphasis on the MST, along with the state and public institutions, which met the demands through articulation between Pronera and public universities. From this scenario, from the decade of the 1990s, Licenciatura do Campo courses emerged in response to the demands for teachers of specific training in rural schools, representing the increase in the representativeness of peasant wishes in the midst of debates on educational policies in Brazil. Advances that, due to the actions created during the first term of the Lula government, were established, giving continuity to new offers of vacancies in LeDocs courses in Brazil in the last decade.

This chapter examines the role of information and communication technology (ICT) in improving rural schools in China. China has experienced rapid development in rural education during recent decades. However, a large gap between rural education and urban education remains. Because ICT plays an essential role in rural education, China has prioritized the construction of ICT facilities. A lack of communication among colleagues constitutes an obstacle for teachers who attempt to integrate ICT into teaching practice. Therefore, China's national government initiated an “Internet Plus” strategy to build connections between rural schools and the broader education system through ICT. This chapter concludes that Internet Plus Rural Education paves a potential way for rural teachers to participate in teacher communities and to develop their teaching practices.

As the problem of rural teacher retention swells, teacher educators may find the social media tool Twitter useful in preparing novice teachers for teaching in rural communities. This article examines current practices in preparing rural preservice teachers, as well as strengths and challenges of rural schools. Previous research into using Twitter to support preservice teachers’ access to resources, professional development opportunities, and emotional needs in the teacher education program and beyond are highlighted. Guidelines for using Twitter with rural preservice teachers are also provided, including rural education hashtags, professional Twitter users, and the only known Twitter chat for rural education supporters.

This work analyzes the movement of re-elaboration of social representations on artistic practices of rural teachers. These educators have graduated Rural Education from Faculdade de Educação at Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Brazil. Artistic practices constitute a way of creation, fruition, and reflection of art present in education processes. Those practices carry historicity and resistance embedded in the struggle of social movements to the right of rural education. The theoretical background is guided by the Social Representations in Movement, related to the Theory of Social Representations. The methodological approach is based on narrative interviews and observations of pedagogical practices. The data analysis was built from the reconstruction of trajectories considering the movement of the Social Representations. We have observed that the artistic practices can be seen as a pedagogical mechanism of the struggle for transforming education and by strengthening rural identities.
