Abstract

This monograph proposes to investigate the historical aspects that permeate the José Joaquim Cardoso Rural School Group (GERJJC), located in the city of Malhador in the state of Sergipe. Thus, we seek to understand how the implementation process 0ccurred and the first years of operation of the Group in the city, as well as to identify and discuss the importance of this institution for the development of Malhador. The time frame is concentrated from 1968 to 1977, as it refers to the period in which the interviewees experienced the educational practices of this educational institution. We chose to make use of oral sources through interviews, as well as documentary sources found in the archives of the current José Joaquim Cardoso State College and in the Sergipe State Public Archive. When you think of school, one of the first memories that comes to mind comes from a building. This is because the school is a place planned in space and formed by an architectural structure in which practices linked to teaching-learning processes are present. Therefore, the study of the GERJJC's school culture enables the understanding of historical and current school processes present in the school. Thus, through the readings added to the research in collections and interviews, it became possible to realize how relevant it is to understand the history of an institution. It is concluded that GERJJC was a significant educational institution for the community of malhadorense, since it was considered as an innovative system for the time, and today is considered an important landmark of the city's history for the local population.
