Educação de jovens e adultos: os desafios e as potencialidades vivenciados por professores de física

Abstract

In this work we bring some reflections about the Education of Young and Adults and about the methodologies used for teaching and learning in institutions in which this form of teaching is implemented for people who did not have the opportunity to be literate or complete their elementary education and / or average in the so-called right age in regular education. In this sense, we seek to investigate: how and with what objectives has the teaching of physics in the Education of Young and Adults in Brazil been developed? And, in the investigation of such problem we aim: To know the trajectory of the Education of Young and Adults in our country from theses and theses of the area of Education in Sciences; To identify dissertations and theses on the teaching of physics in the Education of Young and Adults, obtained through electronic search in the Catalog of Thesis and Dissertations of Capes; Understand and characterize how and with what goals the teaching of Physics in Youth and Adult Education is developed. The methodological analysis followed according to the Discursive Textual Analysis, composed of three interdependent stages: Unitarization, Categorization and Communication. As results, we obtained two categories: 1) Discussion of concepts of Classical Physics and Modern Physics in YAE; and 2) Sociocultural and School Aspects in the teaching of Physics in the YAE. Thus, as a summary of the research we infer that in the great majority of sense nuclei we can observe that when the phenomena are dynamically worked and that they involve the lived world of the students and that with different teaching methodologies the teacher manages to get their attention, bringing them for classes, more helpful and willing to learn.
