Educação de jovens e adultos: um estudo do projeto Sesc Ler

Abstract

The EJA Pedagogical Proposals must meet the basic learning necessities of youths and adults with their educational specificities. Thus, this research aims to investigate the process of putting into effect the Pedagogical Proposal of the SESC LER Project in curricular organization, planning and pedagogical practices in the Educational Center of Porto National, TO. This investigation falls within the scope of qualitative research and was developed through consultation of literature that deals with the theme in question, from documentary research (official and institutional sources) and from research in loco. The empirical material was obtained through direct, non-participatory observation and semi-structured interviews. The imbrications of chapters that make up this study make it possible to understand the path taken by the researcher during the investigation. The exposition of this research was organized in three chapters. At first, a historical clip is presented containing the main events that marked the evolution of EJA in Brazil, as well as the origin and structure of the Social Commerce Service (SESC) acting in this modality. The second chapter, besides presenting the main documents that direct the pedagogical and curricular organization of the SESC LER Project of Porto Nacional, exposes the concept of Education of the Pedagogical Proposal of the Project. Chapter three presents research in light of the pedagogical practice of the individuals that are the mediators of the teaching and learning process: the teachers and the pedagogical supervisor. The obtained results indicate that the investigated proposal does not meet the three cycles of schooling that correspond to the first five years of elementary school, restricting it to literacy, leaving the rest unattended. Regarding pedagogical practice, although it contains some problems, the Project holds positive aspects, among which stands out the effort that the supervisor and the teachers demonstrate toward developing an emancipatory, critical, and democratic education that is able to contribute to the transformation of society.
