ABSTRACT:

The monoculture of açaí, a practice expanding in the Amazon region, presents significant educational impacts, especially in municipalities like Igarapé-Miri, where the activity stands out economically. This research aimed to analyze the perception of the school community regarding the advancement of açaí monoculture in the Suspiro Community and the Caetano Correa Leão School in the municipality of Igarapé-Miri, in the state of Pará. The research sought to understand what high school students, teachers, management team, and parents think about the growth of açaí monoculture in the region and what this process has generated in the school dynamics and in the daily life of the community. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, including bibliographic review, semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, observation and case study, data analysis and interpretation. The analyses reveal that the advancement of monoculture in Igarapé-Miri generates contradictory effects in the school context. On the one hand, there are economic gains that benefit some families, allowing investments in education and improved living conditions; on the other hand, negative impacts are identified such as dropout, school abandonment, low attendance, and a decline in student performance. The importance of pedagogical actions integrated into the curriculum that engage with the students' reality is highlighted. The proposal for pedagogical alternation reveals itself as a viable option for education in the municipality of Igarapé-Miri to progress towards a more democratic, inclusive practice geared towards the sustainable development of the region.
