Processos e práticas da Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA): perspectivas de inovação educacional

Abstract

This project is a Final paper, which aims to produce an exploratory study about practices and processes of Education for Young and Adults (EJA in Portuguese), interfacing with the discussions of educational innovation, focusing on challenges, senses and meanings. Methodologically, it is a study of the state of knowledge, subsidized by references of the Work - GT-18 Education of Young and Adult People of the Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Educação - ANPED and by constant productions in the virtual repository of the Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul – UFFS. We defined search words as: "Innovative Educational Practices in EJA", "Innovations in EJA" and "Youth and Adult Education". Theoretically, we rely on the discussions mainly carried out by Paulo Freire, Maria Clara Di Pierro and Sérgio Haddad, among others. Because of this inventory, we located in the GT – 18, of ANPED, 53 works attentive to the specificities sought and in the UFFS were 22 works. The works mapped and grouped in attached tables allow, as professionals of the area linked to the modality of Youth and Adult Education, to locate subsidies, concerns and possibilities regarding teaching/learning processes of this type of intervention/formation. As a consideration, we also point out that among the purposes of study, we aim to abstract aspects that demonstrate the opportunities, practices and commitments to innovation. Although tenuous, some highlights emerge, among which we present: the commitment to social citizenship protected by the exercise of the profession; the evidence of the need that the teacher of this public have trained to do so, since their destination, most of the time, is the result of chance; the understanding that the formative path of both can constitute an exercise of emancipation, among others that appears in the course of the study.
