Rumor of Evil, Peace Settings: Rural Teachers’ Narrations. educ.educ. [online]. 2020, vol.23, n.1, pp.9-28. ISSN 0123-1294.  https://doi.org/10.5294/edu.2020.23.1.1.

This article compiles the voices of teachers from some settings where the Colombian armed conflict has been intensely experienced. It derives from the research titled “Narratives of Peace in Rural Educational Contexts. The Teachers’ Voices,” whose aim is to identify the abilities, experiences, and knowledge of teachers from multiple contexts. It was carried out with a phenomenological perspective, which guides the description, comparison, explanation, and understanding of the study from the perspective of participants. A type of discourse in which their voices are collected is the anecdote, which approaches the subjectivities of participants. This article introduces some theoretical elements on the subject of evil, shows the first findings, and ends with a thesis resulting from the interpretation of the analyzed categories. According to one of the findings, it can be affirmed that, although evil remains in those territories, good is reflected in rural teachers’ hope and educational intentions for their students; therefore, good materializes as human dignity in rural schools.

Palabras clave : Teacher; armed conflict; rural education; narration; peace.
