Um estudo sobre os sentidos do trabalho para os agricultores familiares a partir da pluriatividade

Neste artigo trata-se da pluriatividade a partir de um estudo realizado com onze agricultores familiares que conciliam a atividade agricola com a atividade de reciclagem na Cooperativa de Recicladores Orgânicos e Inorgânicos, situada na zona rural do municipio de Santa Cecilia do Sul na regiao nordeste do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. O objetivo geral do estudo foi analisar o sentido do trabalho para os agricultores familiares pluriativos, tomando em consideracao a vinculacao destes a Cooperativa. A pesquisa se caracterizou como qualitativa do tipo descritiva. Os dados empiricos foram coletados por meio da realizacao de entrevistas semiestruturadas. Os resultados demonstraram que o ambiente social a que se integram os agricultores vem sofrendo transformacoes significativas oferecendo alternativas de trabalho, as quais os agricultores se engajam, redimensionando as condicoes de reproducao social. Verificou-se que a conciliacao do trabalho agricola com outra atividade tem engendrado novos sentidos do trabalho para o agricultor. Estes sentidos extrapolam o aspecto economico, relacionando-se ao âmbito das relacoes familiares, da sociabilidade, dos papeis sociais, da autonomia dos trabalhadores, da funcao social das atividades de trabalho entre outros. Tambem se evidencia pelo pesquisador um sentido negativo da atividade laboral para os sujeitos em funcao da sobrecarga de trabalho.

A ESCOLA COMO MEIO DE FORMAÇÃO PARA A APLICABILIDADE DA EDUCAÇÃO AMBIENTAL

This study was aimed to analyze the importance and development of environmental issues in schools. The theme of Environmental Education was chosen with the intention of analyzing the environmental initiatives undertaken by pupils in their homes and at school where they study. The activity was developed in a public school in Porto Alegre / RS and was the work of three (3) classes of elementary school. For a more detailed analysis on their perceptions and actions wrapped in the environment, a questionnaire was administered to five (5) questions involving his actions at school and in their homes, as well as their knowledge on the subject. With answers and arguments about their environmentally friendly attitudes, we see that actions that contribute to the environment are carried out, but still without a full or a grand interest for certain students. With the critical perception surfacing, we hope to get a better world ahead.
