A importância da formação docente na modalidade EJA :

Abstract

The present research has as its theme the education of young people and adults (EJA) and the qualitative approach was used as a methodology from a bibliographic study for the theoretical construction of the first part of the work, in its second part, which includes the research In the field, we opted for an exploratory research, which carries out a qualitative analysis. The research aims to understand the specificities of EJA in serving a population historically excluded from their right to education. From the bibliographical survey, it was noticed that the initial formation, that is, the academic formation of the teacher's graduation to attend the specificity of the EJA, is still incipient. To minimize this gap, continuing education throughout the professional career can contribute to teachers of this type of education, in the exchange of experiences with their peers, a more effective action, leading them towards a pedagogical work that makes it possible to understand the specifics of its students and, consequently, improve their development. After the bibliographical study, a field research was carried out in an EJA class at the CEM located in the city of Miranorte-TO, which allowed us to reflect on Youth and Adult Education (EJA) and having as a reference for this reflection the importance and the need for specific teacher training for teaching EJA. Therefore, it is essential that teachers understand that in today's globalized society, innovation and constant updating are essential in the educational process. It is necessary to overcome the dichotomy between theory and practice, research and teaching, that is, the construction of a practice permeated by the involvement of the professor in their own and well-founded projects, recognizing all the complexity found in EJA.
