Educação holística em uma sala de EJA: isto é possível?

Abstract

This work had as objective to analyse the possibility of developing principles of Holistic Education, in a classroom of cycle I, of the Education of the Youth and Adults (EJA in portuguese) at the General Rodrigo Otávio Municipal School, located at the city of João Pessoa - PB. It is a bibliographic research, of qualitative nature, that had the objective of the dialogic reflection with authors that treat the adressed theme and in the identification of some aspects of the existencial reality of the teacher and of the learners of the class. For that goal, five learners being four women, a man and the teacher were interviwed through forms. Through these instruments of information of the interviwed, we analysed their answers upon the historic and theoric foundations of the Holistic Education and of the EJA. The human being development structure happens by their relationships with what exists on this Planet. The Holistic approach propose a integral education at the development process of the aspects: physical, emotional, mental, social and spiritual of the learners. The fragmentation of this structural dynamics allows a limited vision of the human being and of your potentialities. The possibility of the learner to fully develop is defended by the Education Philosophy at the holistic thought. It is possible to educate youth and adults through the principles, characteristics and fundamentals of Holistic Education, because humans have relationships with everything that exists on this planet. And existential entirety should be essentially the starting point for the EJA.
