Abstract

Youth and Adult Education is a type of education marked by a history of great struggles and challenges, among them the precariousness of investments in the modality, the vulnerability of its subjects, the exclusion of regular education, the high rate of dropout, the use of inadequate teaching methodologies and the devaluation of their professionals. In addition, the modality is full of specificities that differentiate it from other modes of education, so it is clear that teacher training must also start from these specificities, teachers need to establish educational objectives and methodologies that are compatible with the purposes of the modality. In view of this, the objective of this work was to discuss about the modality of Youth and Adult Education in the initial training of teachers/ those of the Degree Course in Biological Sciences at UFPB. This study was carried out through the research with a qualitative approach and as for the technical procedures, this work was carried out through the bibliographical research and documentary analysis, in which we chose to analyze the current Pedagogical Project of the Degree Course in Biological Sciences of UFPB. To carry out this research, this research used the methodological assumptions of discursive textual analysis (DTA), which works with obtaining the understanding of meanings constructed from a text. Seeking to evidence one of the possibilities of teacher training and the performance in the EJA in the course of Degree in Biological Sciences of UFPB, this research also used the methodological assumptions of the experience report (RE)From the participation of the author as a fellow of the PET/Connections of knowledge project "Access and permanence of young people of popular origin to the university". It verified the presence of youth and adult education in the curricular proposal of the course, as well as elements that can contribute to the performance in the modality. As well as emphasizing the importance of the PET/Connections of knowledge project in this training.
