Formação de professores(as) para a educação de jovens e adultos: mapeamento nas produções acadêmicas do Repositório Institucional da UFAL

Abstract

This article aims to analyze and reflect on teacher training for Youth and Adult Education (EJA). The general objective is to analyze the works on teacher training and EJA published in the Institutional Repository of UFAL. The specific objectives are: to map the academic productions on EJA and teacher training and to reflect on the approaches and perspectives on this topic in the mapped works. Data collection was carried out electronically in the Institutional Repository of UFAL in October 2024. The process consisted of mapping the works, selecting those that would be included in the research, and reading and recording all works related to the research object of this article, so that we could understand the studies on the topic. The analysis highlighted the need to understand EJA as an Educational modality with its own characteristics and peculiarities, since these subjects have profiles, educational demands, and life trajectories that differ from those of students in other stages of education. This reveals the need for EJA teachers to have specialized training and specific knowledge to effectively meet the educational demands of these young people, adults, and seniors, seeing them as powerful and active citizens in society, endowed with knowledge and skills acquired throughout their lives, so that they can fully exercise their right to education and citizenship.
