Abstract

The purpose of this monograph was to investigate aspects of Maria Adenilza Santana trajectory from her contributions to education in the city of Itabaiana / SE in the time frame from 1983 to 2019, the period of her performance in different educational institutions. The aim of this study was to analyze, through a “history seen from below”, (SHARPE, 1992, p. 53), his student and professional trajectory, having performed several functions as a class assistant, teacher, director, majority partner and pedagogical coordinator sowing knowledge by different schools. This work also intended to present some studies carried out on the stories of former teachers from the mountain town, who collaborated with education in the interior of the State, with an emphasis on schools created in the first half of the 20th century. In dialogue with the concept of memory by Pollak (1992), an interview was conducted with the main character of the monograph and we proceeded to analyze it, as well as to analyze documents from his private collection. In addition, articles, books, monographs and dissertations on topics related to the object of study were read. In view of the research carried out, the struggle for the insertion of women in schools was noted, especially teachers from Itabaiana / SE who contributed to the social and cultural growth of the city. This study reflects on the trajectory of a teacher, among so many women who dedicated decades of her life to teaching, one among many teachers from the rural Sergipe.
