Eva Gomes e o percurso histórico-educacional da antiga Conceição do Buraco-CE

This study presents research conducted using the oral history method, aiming to share accounts of the pedagogical experiences of teacher Eva Gomes, the first educator in the former district of Conceição do Buraco – na area now submerged by the waters of the Orós Reservoir, in Orós, Ceará, Brazil. Accordingly, the research follows a qualitative approach, and its typology aligns with both biographic and field research, combining elements of semi-structured interviews with theoretical support. Furthermore, in the Results and discussion section, we explore issues related to the interviewee’s academic background, her early teaching career, the community’s and school’s context, the teaching methods used in that historical setting, and the sociocultural impacts of the region on the educational process. Finally, the educator’s memories allowed us to identify the educational challenges faced by rural society in Ceará during the 20th century
