Evasão escolar: a difícil realidade da educação de jovens e adultos

Abstract

This work has as main objective to know the reasons that lead the students of Youth and Adult Education (EJA) to drop out of school. From the perception of the students of the Integrated Technical Course in Food of High School in the EJA modality of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Goiás-Campus Aparecida de Goiânia, we present the results of a survey carried out with the dropout students. Faced with this concern, the following research problem was pointed out: What are the causes that have led to school dropout in the EJA modality? As we have already informed, to answer the problem, we opted for an empirical research that was carried out through a field research with students who dropped out of the technical course in food of the EJA modality and bibliographic research. The field research was carried out through a semi-structured questionnaire with 10 students from a total of 22 dropouts from the 2017 class. we may be able to carry out a qualified analysis of the empirical data obtained from the field research. And, in this sense, “we went after” to know more about what research is, about the phenomenon of school dropout and about Youth and Adult Education. About pedagogical practice in EJA we searched for referenced authors such as Freire (2004), (2011) On EJA we searched for referenced authors in this field of studies such as Maria Margarida Machado (2009), Haddad and Di Pierro (2009) Gadotti (1996), Osmar Favero (2011).
