O Ensino e a Aprendizagem de Ciências na Educação de Jovens e Adultos no município de Nova Floresta - PB.

Abstract

Education of young and adult is a learning modality that covers individuals who did not have opportunity to access and continue their studies at the regular age and is an instrument for education and lifelong learning, and the EJA is covered by the Law 9394/96, and in accordance with the Federal Constitution, which ensures the gratuity of this modality. During the supervised internship, there was an interest in finding out what challenge’s teachers and students of EJA face in teaching science. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the challenges and perspectives of science education in the modality of Youth and Adult Education of the State School of Primary Education in the Municipality of Nova Floresta-PB. In this way, we tried to verify the teaching practices and difficulties encountered by students and teachers in learning and teaching sciences, in 6th to 9th grade classes of the EJA. For the accomplishment of the research was used the field and documentary study, with quantitative and qualitative approach with the use of semi-structured questionnaire. In this way, we can conclude that the EJA is fundamental in the socialization of the subjects, adding elements and values that lead them to emancipation and the affirmation of their cultural identity. The teacher should be a facilitator in the process of emancipation of these individuals, giving them the opportunity to understand that only education can transform the individual into a critical being.
