Abstract

This study aims to identify the motivations and challenges of active teachers in the Youth and Adult Education in João Pessoa and Cabedelo.Aiming to understand the motives that led them to act in this type of education and the challenges faced daily.The reflections are understood and theorized from studies of Azzi(1994)Barcelos(2009),Cury(2000),Freire(1992,2006,2011,2013),Gadotti(1995,201) ,Libâneo(1998),Oliveira(2012),Pepper(2012),Rivers(1995),Rummert(2006),Rybczynski (2014),Saldanha(2009),Schwartz(2012).In our methodology we decided to do research with ten teachers working in adult education, where two of them were personally observed. Which will be identified, according to the rooms that act, which call room one and two room.The instruments used were the questionnaire and the observation that entered on stage in adult education teaching mode. Some results showed motivations ranging from the personal level caused by the school management. The challenges are numerous, being more evident evasion and lack of government attention to the EJA.Getting to this conclusion, while we do not have in Brazil, public policies that fully value the Youth and Adult Education, providing more positive than negative motivations and more stimulating challenges pedagogically speaking. We risk we encounter every day with teachers profiles, similar to those reported in this study.We need public measures that enable better conditions in the teaching profession.
