La escuela rural: una revisión de la literatura científica
Abstract
There is no doubt about the importance of conducting research on rural schools, as existing studies are very limited. Based on this premise, the study presented here aims to show the main themes and approaches to rural schooling, both from a sociological and pedagogical point of view, in the academic literature. The systematic review of the scientific literature published in three important databases until 2019 shows that the characteristics and limitations of rural schools, teachers and the relations between schools, families and the rural community are the main subjects of reflection. The results indicate that rural schools suffer from the same economic and symbolic marginalization of the rural environment but have great potential as spaces for pedagogical innovation and as dynamic institutions for rural communities. One of the main challenges is to provide greater training for teachers in order to adapt them to the reality of rural schools. In conclusion, this study is a contribution to scientific knowledge of the reality of rural schools and their needs.
Keywords: rural teachers, rural community, education research.
