Looking back to the history of the policy of technical assistance and rural extension in Brazil, it was verified that it reflects disputes between different conceptions of agricultural reform, models of agricultural teaching, models of agricultural production, and also different models of the technical assistance policy itself, among other examples. These disputes make themselves more evident in specific historical contexts, especially when settlements are created and a determined model of what being settled means is projected. The Lumiar Project was particularly analyzed, which was created in an attempt to specifically assist settlements and also to implement the decentralization of the technical assistance policy, looking for a larger participation from the representative entities of workers in the processes of project management. Starting with the analysis of primary documents, reports developed by the technical team from Lumiar Project that was acting in two settlements in the state of Rio de Janeiro, and also with the study of secondary data, it was possible to perceive some dimensions of the conflict between the technicians and the settled people. On one side, the technician, who has a specific academic and political formation that will interfere in the understanding of the reality and on his/her intervention, needs to answer to the rules that were set by public policies. On the other side, the settled people, with their expectations and survival strategies (being an agriculturist or not), life stories and dreams. / Esta disserta??o analisa os conflitos existentes entre os assentados e os agentes das pol?ticas p?blicas, em especial os t?cnicos cuja fun??o ? fornecer assist?ncia t?cnica para os assentamentos rurais. Resgatando o hist?rico da pol?tica de assist?ncia t?cnica e extens?o rural no Brasil, verificamos que ela reflete disputas entre diferentes concep??es de reforma agr?ria, modelos de ensino agr?cola, de produ??o agr?cola, da pr?pria pol?tica de assist?ncia t?cnica etc. Estas disputas s?o evidenciadas em contextos hist?ricos particulares, em especial quando s?o institu?dos os assentados e projetado um determinado modelo do que ? ser assentado. Analisamos em particular o projeto Lumiar, criado na tentativa de atender especificamente assentamentos e implantar a descentraliza??o da pol?tica de assist?ncia t?cnica, buscando uma maior participa??o das entidades representativas dos trabalhadores nos processos de gest?o do projeto. A partir da an?lise dos documentos prim?rios, relat?rios desenvolvidos pela equipe t?cnica do projeto Lumiar atuante em dois assentamentos no estado do Rio de Janeiro e do estudo de dados secund?rios, foi poss?vel perceber algumas dimens?es do conflito entre t?cnicos e assentados. De um lado, o t?cnico, portador de uma determinada forma??o acad?mica e pol?tica que ir? interferir no entendimento da realidade e na sua interven??o, precisa responder ?s regras institu?das pela pol?tica p?blica. De outro, os assentados, com suas expectativas e estrat?gias de sobreviv?ncia (enquanto agricultor ou n?o), trajet?rias de vida, sonhos.
