A importância da amorosidade e afetividade na educação de jovens e adultos

Abstract

The current work aims to analyze the importance of affection and love in Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) by lead teachers. For this purpose, we sought to conceptualize the notion of amorosity, analyzing whether affection can improve the learning performance of EJA students. Likewise, we seek to identify the challenges faced by EJA teachers in their practice. This work, therefore, constitutes a qualitative and quantitative research, as it was initially based on a review of the literature by authors who work with affectivity in the classroom, supported by the theories of Paulo Freire and Henri Wallon, who discuss the relationships between objects of knowledge and the student's cognitive abilities. To collect the data, we applied a survey using a questionnaire with two teachers from the public school system from João Pessoa city. The data suggest, according to the responses analyzed, that amorosity is one of the main ways to build relationships with others, as well as the knowledge acquired in the classroom and with social life.
