Abstract:
Pedagogical practices inappropriate to the reality of EJA students and methodologies inadequate for this
audience contribute to the increase in dropout and school failure. Thus, the objective of this work is to
analyze the conceptions of teachers and students at the School Municipal Elementary School Julieta Lima e
Costa of the municipality of Cuité-PB about Youth and Adult Education and Solidarity Economy. The
investigation was developed through interviews and questionnaires answered by students and teachers of
Youth Education and Adults from the aforementioned School, which is located in Bairro das Graças, in the
municipality of CuitéPB. There was an absence of pedagogical practices in EJA related to income generation,
in addition to the lack of information from teachers and theoretical reflection on the use of practices that
prepare students to generate income from the perspective of Solidarity Economy. In that meaning, this leads
to rethinking the pedagogical practice. The teaching discourse, or rather, what the teacher has been doing it
in the EJA classrooms, he has chronic problems, one of them is the academic background with theoretical
and methodological deficiencies. The teacher should take the student to a new educational perspective, as the
student already has a history of failure school and giving up studying for various reasons. The
methodological and theoretical issue that fit into adult education, it should be built from theoretical readings
or even from construction of the same, by the school community that lives this reality.
