A educação de jovens e adultos a partir das diretrizes operacionais da Paraíba - ano 2023

Abstract

This research seeks, based on the Operational Guidelines for Schools in the Paraíba State Education Network, to reflect how the pedagogical and curricular arrangements and the actions of these arrangements occurred for the EJA classes in the 2023 at Braz Baracuhy Public School. These Guidelines focus on BNCC's essential learning for the middle school and high school. From a methodology point of view, it is a qualitative approach, based on bibliographic and documentary research, on interviews with open and closed questions with the pedagogical coordination and with teachers who worked in EJA classes, in the subjects of Geography, History and Portuguese. Regarding the results, we noticed a lack of harmony between the statements made by the pedagogical coordination and the teachers about the pedagogical planning for EJA students. The elaboration of the content covered in these subjects as well as the assessment of learning was carried out by the teachers. Considering the undeniable effort of the teachers' work, they do not have initial and continued training to work at EJA. It is also a fact that concerns us, and that represents challenges from the point of view of learning content in relation to the specificities of students: young people, adults and elderly people. We know that turnover is a common characteristic in EJA classes. Many EJA students are from rural area. The failure and dropout data from the researched school point to worrying numbers of school dropouts in 2023; data that prompt future investigation to think about the relationship between the continuity of pedagogical actions and the activities carried out in the classroom, with increasingly heterogeneous classes.
