Abstract

This article analyzes risks and potentialities that emerge from the institutionalization/expansion of the Licenciatura in Rural Education in the State of Pará, offered by UFPA, Cametá Campus, and UNIFESSPA, Marabá Campus, identifying impacts on Higher Education and Basic Education. It is referred in a study of bibliographical, documentary and field nature, linked to Rede Universitas-Br, which investigates the expansion of the higher education of the field anchored in the Historical Materialism Dialectic. The results indicate that in Cametá, the greater risk is related to the difficulty of materializing pedagogical alternation without dissociating it from the principles of rural education and, as potentiality, the affirmation of an interdisciplinary curriculum in the training of Educators by the Course of the Licenciatura in Rural Education. In Marabá, the greater risk arises from the actions disarticulated in the attendance of Basic Education among the federated entities, including the tense dialogue in the construction of the Secondary Education with the State Secretary of Education, and as a potentiality, the relationship between university and social movements, built as a strategy for strengthening the social legitimacy of the course.
