This text is based on a postdoctoral research entitled "O protagonismo das mulheres no curso de Licenciatura em Educação do Campo (LEDOC) da Universidade Federal de Rondônia (UNIR)". The objectives were: to historicize the context of research in Rural Education in Brazil; and to understand the process of constitution the Bachelor's Degree in Rural Education course in different Brazilian institutions, with attention to the challenges faced by female teachers in the Northern Region. Historical-Dialectical Materialism was the method that answered the research objectives. The methodology used was bibliographic research, with search terms in Brazilian digital repositories, without a specific period, and subsequent analysis based on the research objectives. As results, we have the categories of Rural Education, Rural Education Public Policy, and Bachelor's Degree in Rural Education. Rural Education has been present in the spaces of struggle of rural people since 1998, achieving the right of rural people to study at all levels of education, with specific legislation that determines who are the subjects and schools of the rural area and, for a teacher training policy, it is the LEDOC that brings several constructions and makes formal spaces accessible, welcoming, and dialogical.
