Didática e mediação na Educação de Jovens e Adultos: o que as pesquisas revelam

Abstract

The central theme of this research is didactics and mediation in Youth and Adult Education and its objective is to map, systematize, analyze and disclose the knowledge produced about mediation and didactics in YAE, represented by the master's dissertations and doctoral theses on Youth and Adult Education located in the Biblioteca digital de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD) do Instituto Brasileiro de Informação em Ciência e Tecnologia (IBICT), aiming to contribute to the construction of the State of the Knowledge on the subject. The methodological path used is guided by the bibliographic research based on the research of Lakatos and Marconi (2003), and its conception is supported by the State of the Knowledge and the data analysis carried out in a qualitative way by Gamboa (2003). The theoretical foundation of this research happens through the studies of some authors, such as: SANCEVERINO (2016; 2019); VEIGA (1996); LAFFIN (2001; 2019); LIBÂNEO (2006); CHARLOT (1996); (AMORIN; SANTOS; PEREIRA, 2018); (COSTA, 2013); HADDAD (2000; 2007); DI PIERRO (2000; 2001; 2005); ARROYO (2001; 2005); GADOTTI (1979; 1981; 2016); FREIRE (1963; 1987; 1986; 2005), among others. The State of the Knowledge in this monograph is based on the problem: What has research on Youth and Adult Education in Brazil been pointing out about mediation and didactics? Some of the results found for this question were that mediation needs to be carried out with affection, respect, trust, dialogicity, flexibility of the teacher with schedules and contents, and that this mediation needs to be planned, researched, and studied. Some results about didactics were that it needs to happen according to the context of the students' reality in order to obtain a significant learning. Another important point was the scarcity of specific teaching materials for young people and adults, among other results obtained from the analysis of the categories.
