O livro didático na educação de jovens e adultos

Abstract

This work firstly aims to rescue the history of Didactic Books DBs in Youth and Adult Education YAE of the state of Alagoas. We believe that the relevance of this study is to bring to the surface discussions that permeate the schools of the Municipal and State Education from Maceió and Alagoas, respectively, on the treatment of governmental actions and initiatives for acquisition of YAE DBs. It also aims to make administrators and teachers reflect on the DBs produced and acquired, and also evaluate them; to encourage the government to define an effective policy of financial resources and systematic selection criteria for evaluation and purchase of DBs; and to stimulate further research in order to produce DBs. It is a qualitative base research developed through bibliographic and field research, using questionnaires, interviews and focal groups as instruments of collection. These procedures enabled us to notice the look and say of teachers, coordinators and technicists that constitute the staff of the Youth and Adult Education Department DEJA of Municipal Bureau of Education of Maceió - SEMED and of the Program for Youth and Adult Education PROEJA of the Executive Secretary of Education of the State of Alagoas, on the process of selection, acquisition and adoption of DBs for YAE. The research revealed us the absence of a financing policy and national guidelines to define criteria to local policies for YAE Dbs.
