Educação de jovens, adultos e idosos (EJAI): experiências vivenciadas na disciplina de Língua Portuguesa no Centro de Ensino Leuda da Silva Cabral

Abstract

The present research aims to investigate Portuguese Language Teaching In the EJAI teaching modality (Teaching Young People, Adults and Elderly) at the Professora Leuda da Silva Cabral teaching Center, in Santa Inês/MA. To do this, I provide a theoretical basis in the ideas of authors such as Paulo Freire, Miguel Arroyo, Andrade, Barcelos, and legal norms of Brazilian Education, in order to understand the reality of the modality today, its achievements and challenges. Then, an investigative research was carried out, with field observation, questionnaire application to teachers of the first, second and third stages and contribution from 3rd year students. It was found that the scientific modality faces challenges of different natures, both for students and teachers. Therefore, the importance of using not only collective techniques, but also individuals, was clear so that the development of teaching-learning can be positive, making the education of Young People, Adults and Elderly people notable for its importance, in order to transform citizens to become protagonist of the own stories, through education.
