CRUZ, Renilton. The rural school in the Portuguese academic production: Notes on the (in)visibility of an object of study. Rev. Port. de Educação [online]. 2016, vol.29, n.2, pp.233-253. ISSN 0871-9187.  https://doi.org/10.21814/rpe.9518.

This paper discusses the invisibility of rural school in the Portuguese university. Although there is scientific production focused on rural and their sociocultural relations, which focuses, directly or indirectly, on the school, from the 1980s, with Pinto (1985), through Stoer and Araújo (1992) and Canário (1995), until the end of the 1990s, with Sarmento, Sousa, and Ferreira (1998), the academic output does not fully discuss the rural school. It has not been up to the social, cultural and economic importance of that space. The research occurs through a bibliographic study in ten scientific journals on education, and the survey of theses and dissertations produced in the main Portuguese universities. The data suggest a growing invisibility of the rural school in the academic literature and in specialized publications on education in Portugal, and the absence of a social force linked to the interests of the subjects of the countryside able to reinstate the interest of the university in the rural school.

Keywords : Rural school; Invisibility; Academic production.
