A escrita na Educação de Jovens e Adultos: um estudo a partir da prática docente na Escola Estadual Indígena Guilherme da Silveira - Rio Tinto-PB

Abstract

The present work aimed to analyze the learning process of writing in EJA - Educação de Jovens e Adultos (Youth and Adult Education), and its difficulties regarding cohesion and coherence in the text. The contributions of Furtado (2010; 2015), Freire (2005), Schwartz (2012), Soares (2002), Kleiman (1995), Fávero (1991) and Koch and Elias (2012) had an important role in fulfilling this study. The research field was the Indigenous State School for Elementary and Middle School Guilherme da Silveira, located in Monte Mor village, Rio Tinto-PB. The research participants were five students from cycles III and IV of the aforementioned school, in 2017. The methodology applied was qualitative, and we used the participant observation proposed by Richardson (1999). We conclude that EJA students have difficulties concerning their writing skill, and in this sense, the teacher should improve his didactics to assist them, with the aim of achieving significant improvements.
