Education should enable social inclusion and the critical training of students, making them understand their rights of citizenship, in this scenario, the research object investigation comprises the analysis of the importance of the Youth and Adult Education for the construction of citizenship, considering the teacher's work and its implications for the retention of students in school so as to change the life of the student. In this context, we chose as the main question: What is the influence of the teachers job in keeping the interest of youth and adults in education and its practical implications for everyday life? The research had as its general objective to reflect on the teaching work in Adult Education and its implications for life and the construction of citizenship / the students / as well as investigation / educational practices / as educators in the everyday classroom, highlighting its theoretical and methodological concepts and understand the implications of adult education in the daily lives of students from their own experience, especially with regard to the achievement in society. The methodology, is based on the exploitative and descriptive research which has got qualitative character fundamentally based on Educação Popular e Problematizadora by (Freire, 2000), (Torres, 2000), (GADOTTI, 2000) and the National Curriculum Guidelines of Education for Youth and Adults and LDBEN - 9394/96 and other existing educational laws. The project included 05 (five) students and 01 (one) teacher in education of youngsters and adults Cycle of the Elementary school. The instruments used were: literature review, observation participant and non-participant. The survey results indicate that Freire's method is much more than just teaching literacy, it seeks in essence to promote awareness in education of the individual, making the student, able to build their your own history. However, education developed in the education of youngsters and adults room has little connection with the formation of critical and political consciousness of students, the proposed problem-based education are not used, what we see are traditional teaching methods focused on mechanization of education for the sole purpose of teaching reading and writing. Continuing education in adult life becomes important in bringing the educator / a modality that knowledge of the specific field that will enable the construction of a critical consciousness not only in relation to the content that will pass, especially in the formation of conscious thought and that will promote reflective learners, thus contributing to informing students of their social rights.
