Abstract

This research paper is titled: Youth and Adults (EJA): Conceptions and teacher training. In it I tried to reflect on how teacher training is working in Youth and Adult Education in the city of Cajazeiras, as well as identify how does the process of initial and continuing training of teachers, and this training encourages the development of teacher competence renewed. As for methodology, we performed a qualitative study, which sought the data to be analyzed through interviews with three teachers working in adult education in the institution EMEIEF Antonio Rodrigues Tabosa in CAIC, in the city of Cajazeiras-PB. Regarding the results, the research revealed that many of the professionals working in adult education had no specific training for adult education, and the training continued for the same also leaves much to be desired. Thus, one can see that the interviewees have difficulties in teaching practice, the lack of specific training to work in this type of education. This process, which should be significant, and the ongoing training of teachers of adult education can not just be a process of accumulating information and knowledge. But they do in skills development in order to improve their practice, with the ability to perceive, observe and reflect. However the research explained that the Education Youth and Adult, requires specific teacher training, since it is a major factor in the performance and enforcement of effective adult education.
