Práticas pedagógicas na EJA: uma pespectiva presencial e remota

Abstract

Pedagogical practices are planned activities which seek to develop the reflexive capacity of the teacher and student concerning the professional exercise of teaching and learning. They also constitute tools which the teacher uses to prepare classes in a didactic and methodological form, constructing scientific knowledge, by means of empirical knowledge and articulating these practices with the context of the subjects under discussion, who are the subjects of Adult and Youth Education (AYE). As this is a specific public, it is fundamental to understand the specificities of the public, above all else. The present study was carried out based on the experience of teaching practice which is an obligatory element of the Course of Pedagogy at the Federal University of Paraiba. The general objective was to investigate the pedagogical practices of 1st Cycle AYE teachers, in two schools, of which one was Municipal and the other State, both in the city of João Pessoa. One of the schools was observed during the period in which face-to-face classes were still being held and the other in a totally different context, via remote teaching strategies, as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to capture these two realities, we carried out observation and diagnostic visits, which included interaction with the classes, teaching and interviews with supervisors of the placement class. A questionnaire was also elaborated destined to other AYE teachers, containing 13 items. The results were analysed by means of Google Forms, using as criteria the frequency of participants’ answers and the contents contained in those answers. The results demonstrate that the majority of teachers worked face-to-face and remotely and adapted to the distinct realities in accordance with methodologies inspired by a Freirean approach.
