Abstract

The school must integrate the community in actions taken by school systems, providing a school environment, democratic and participatory citizens to train for the world of work. In agricultural education teacher's role is much broader than passing content. Under this assumption, we can state that scientific research is a means of achieving the learning objectives of a course and profile of future professionals. Where the assumptions, questions and content are formed around a local issue. It follows, therefore the need to change thedefinition of the teacher as an expert in class, as the class that only teaches the copy iscomplete incompetence.
