The Rural Extension and Technical Assistance Service (ATER) in Brazil has its history linked to the process of updating of agriculture and it is co-responsible for the economic, social and environmental consequences of the deployment of this model. However, about one decade ago, the ATER has got through deep reflections about its social role, during the discussion for creating the new Technical Assistance National Policy and Rural Extension (PNATER). Such moment shows a disruption discourse with the history of ATER in the way it is practiced in our country, bringing up agroecology as theoretical-methodological orientation for the extensionist action. The general purpose of this research is to understand, based on experience of settlement Paulo Freire II, Estancia, Sergipe, the complexity of the realizeation of the ATER.s work with regards to the construction of agroecology, considering its intention expressed in the normative speech, such as going beyond the conventional paradigm of Rural Extension. The research carried out in the settlement Paulo Freire II showed over the workers practices a kind of search for alternatives to conventional agriculture, conducted for by different motivations and so reflecting an opportunity for advancement of agro-ecological learning. Although the targets set in the public notices to promote agroecology through ATER look timid, an ongoing process has been revealed to incorporate it to the Technical Assistance and Rural Extension agenda, within the Agrarian Reform Program. The Public Calls of SR-23 from INCRA, had some inspiration on PNATER, and it may be seen a gradual progress trying to work on this issue more efficiently. The last public notice to hiring the company that performs that service in the settlements reflects this advancement with the implementation of a staff of technicians developing the peasant to peasant methods and represents the main affirmation of agroecology construction within the Agrarian Reform in Sergipe.
