TEACHING-LEARNING STRATEGY FOR THE FEMALE PENITENTIARY SYSTEM OF ABREU E LIMA IN PERNAMBUCO: THE EVERYDAY DAY OF EDUCATION PROFESSIONALS

Abstract

Education in the prison system is covered in debates involving issues such as: human rights, contradictions, strategies and challenges. This makes it essential to carry out studies on the learning needs of this prison population. Given this understanding, the present study aimed to verify how the teaching-learning process occurs in the female penitentiary system of Abreu e Lima. The study is descriptive in nature with a qualitative and quantitative approach. The research subjects were 10 teachers from three shifts at the Irmã Dulce State School, located in the women's prison in Caetes I, Abreu e Lima – Pernambuco. As a result, it was possible to verify that: the strategies most used by teachers were playful classes, group dynamics, films, group and individual crafts. They approach the content using subjects related to their experience and strategies using Datashow and TV. However, there are also many difficulties in carrying out these classes, due to the lack of resources, which is sometimes due to the security that the prison environment requires. The positive points of teaching in prison presented by the teachers were the possibility of holding a humanized class and that professionals are also more respected than those in schools outside the prison walls. They mentioned as negative points the few resources, little space and the lack of motivation of some students, as well as the insecurity they feel due to the lack of more active participation of agents at the school. This verification of how pedagogical practices occur is essential so that changes are made in a timely manner so that meaningful learning can be promoted. Concluding that the resocialization of these individuals requires the establishment of different techniques and practices to efficiently and significantly achieve the objective of resocialization.
