Educação de jovens e adultos e possibilidades de emancipação das juventudes: um estudo de caso

Abstract

Based on the discussions about youths and the Youth Statute, this work aims to understand how the Federal Institute of Goiás (IFG) dialogues with the Youth Statute in its courses on Youth and Adult Education (EJA). For this purpose, a theoretical study was carried out in order to understand the juvenile condition and the relation of youths with education and work, as well as historical, theoretical and political aspects about Youth and Adult Education. This study was guided by the Youth Statute, in accordance with the principles and guidelines contained in it. As for the methodology, we can define the research as a qualitative approach, of an applied nature and with exploratory objectives, is carried out under the assumptions of historical-dialectical materialism, consisting of a case study, with support in documentary research and, In this sense, the instruments used for the research will be the institutional documents that deal with the modality, as well as the interviews carried out with the young subjects enrolled in the Integrated Technical Course in Handicrafts in the Youth and Adult Education. After presenting the main concepts related to Youth, Work, Education, EJA, Integrated Education and Work as an Educational Principle, an analysis of the Pedagogical Projects of the IFG's EJA Courses was carried out in order to identify their relationship with the Youth Statute, while public policies of education directed also, for the young subjects. From the documentary analysis, there was little dialogue with the Youth Statute and, therefore, some interviews were conducted with students of the Integrated Technical Courses in Handicraft of IFG - Câmpus Cidade de Goiás in order to understand, in practice, the level of dialogue with the Statute. Considering that the Statute foresees the need for emancipation and autonomy of the young subjects, it is believed that the courses, even though they do not use the Statute as their theoretical contribution, cannot fail to direct the subjects in this way. From this, it was concluded that the EJA Courses Pedagogical Projects, as well as the pedagogical practice, do not discuss much about the Youth Statute, which can be a problem, since the knowledge of said document by young people is fundamental for its effectiveness. In any case, the work recognizes that the educational policy of the IFG for the EJA takes into account integrated training and work as an educational principle, recognizing students as subjects of rights capable of transforming their own reality, which can be considered as fundamental on the road to the emancipation of these subjects. In this sense, the development of an educational product of the booklet type, with the objective of disseminating the Youth Statute among young people, teachers and school managers, facilitates its work among the youths, in view of the legitimacy and effectiveness this document.
