Abstract

This work's theme is the Basic Education Movement (MEB), which was established in 1961 in a partnership between the National Confederation of Brazilian Bishops (CNBB) and the Brazilian federal government. The research problem of this Thesis consists of investigating what are the conceptions of education and worker presented in the booklets published by the Basic Education Movement: Viver é Lugar, in 1963, and Mutirão, in 1965, and how these conceptions are relate to the socio-historical, political and educational context in which they are inserted. The main concepts analyzed in both booklets are: education and worker. The methodology consists of documentary analysis based on André Cellard, taking into account the selection of materials, the documents were problematized based on their historicalsocial context. In this sense, both the Living is fighting booklet and Mutirão were analyzed based on the contexts in which they were produced, the first before and the second after the 1964 civil-military coup. The main conclusions indicate that the booklet Living is Fighting presents a narrative composed of numerous questions and reflections that point to literacy intrinsically linked to workers' awareness of the country's social injustices. In Mutirão, education is linked to a training instrument with the aim of integrating workers into the modernization of the countryside with an emphasis on land productivity.
