A formação inicial e continuada de professores para a EJA em Alagoas

Abstract

The objective of this research is to investigate the initial and continuing training of teachers for Youth and Adult Education in Alagoas in bibliographic productions on the subject, in order to become aware of the challenges and promising initiatives aimed at teacher training in EJA in the Alagoas context. This theme arises from the student's concern, as a mother of a student in Youth and Adult Education at a public school in the Alagoas State Education Network, who often lacked guidance on pedagogical activities, and when questioning the school about this teaching practice, it was found to be due to a lack of teachers with specific professional qualifications and skills to work in this educational modality, which has specificities. As research sources, works published in the proceedings of important events in the area were used, as well as master's and doctoral research stored in the institutional repository of UFAL, and in the International Journal of Youth and Adults. We used Koche's (2015) methodological guidelines regarding bibliographic research. The theoretical foundation is based on authors who address teacher training such as: BARROS (2003), VIEIRA (2022), FREIRE (1996), SANTOS; FREITAS; CAVALCANTE (2016), and SILVA (2015). The main results of the research indicated that there is a disconnect between what the legislation says, specifically the Law of Guidelines and Bases of National Education - LDBEN nº 9.394/96, and what has been historically implemented in our state, within the scope of municipal and state bodies, and training instances in the Alagoas context.
