Entre o ensino regular e a educação de jovens e adultos : realidade e possibilidades.

Abstract

This Master’s Thesis work has its origin from our concern about the migration of young from high school to EJA. These young became the focus of our attention and our research which seeks to understand why young from state public nightly high school are looking for migrating to Young and Adult Education (EJA) either from pub-lic state school and what emancipatory possibilities come out for these young. Our general goal is to analyze the immediate and mediate reasons brought by young as migrating from nightly high school to EJA’s classes either in the night shift. Be-sides, the specific goals are to analyze the reason of migrating movement accom-plished by young from nightly high school to EJA; to explain, interpret and under-stand the school role in relation to this choice; in light of the results, to purpose other educative possibilities to young that contribute to their development and provide emancipatory possibilities. We seek, theoretically, support on Paulo Freire’s ideas and on EJA’s researchers as well as we tried to analyze some dialectic’s categories, mainly the contradiction. We achieved, methodologically, a qualitative research and a case study. For this, we base ourselves on Triviños (1987) and Bardin (1979). In our results we found, among the reasons which led young for migrating from high school to EJA, mainly the need to work. We can highlight that lots of young feel pres-sured as leaving high school to attend EJA.
