Abstract

The traditional fishing communities in Ceará coast are promoters of social movements, characteristic of Artisanal Fisheries, which are made from certain social problems (fishing, housing, health, education, etc.). En-fronts in their group, they usually only is overcome by the struggles of these movements, the citizenship rights of their residents, producing a pedagogy inherent in this action. This reality gave rise to the development of such research, which aimed to study the educational process of the social movement in the community of Prainha do Canto Verde, Ceará coast in, trying to understand their role in organizing this community, with the aim of contributing to the social actors and institutional engaged in this activity for the development of public policies that effectively allow the exercise of social rights of these populations. To this end, we follow the steps of qualitative research instruments based on the following design: a case study descriptive qualitative explanatory concepts with ethnographic and action research, as researched and studied a unique community that has a value in itself for a period of five years. We also use the phenomenological approach that aimed to capture and understand the essence of the phenomenon sought, without, however, want a universality of analysis. The primary data were obtained from a non-random sample, intentional, by quotas. The collection of these was conducted from interviews (thirty-one) structured, semistructured and informal, individual, which were applied mainly with local leaders. We also borrowed to aid participant observation and the use of elements of the critical-dialectical methodology, to help us in meeting the interconnections and contradictions that make up the existing social fabric. Tool of the "field journal", where we recorded our impressions about the relationship between the main actors and subjects of research. To organize these data, we seek help of computers, by using a software QSR NUD * IST, as a support tool to analyze the transcripts of our interviews. Data analysis showed that the existing character education in the social movement of Prainha has as a cornerstone the process of mobilization and community organization, based on the grounds of liberating pedagogy of Paulo Freire, incorporated through the practice used by deep-ers of the movement which took into account the political nature of education through an authentic dialogic relationship. This process is responsible for the high degree of conscious-tion, politics and citizenship to that reached the main subject of this research. The result of this work is the strength of the social movement of Prainha in their activity and consequently, community organization, a trait evident in their identity and relevant factors in the social role of this movement, which appears as a model for other traditional fishing communities coast. Similarly, the collective actions of the group of fishermen in this community began to pass around our coast, linking, a move to strengthen local-level state that expands in union with the MONAPE. This research also gave us the opportunity to identify and present to the academic world, two contributions to the formação/ constituição theory on social movements in the field.
