A EDUCAÇÃO DE JOVENS E ADULTOS POR UM OLHAR PSICOPEDAGÓGICO

Abstract

According to the Brazilian Constitution, education is a basic and fundamental right of every citizen, and should be used as an instrument to promote social equity. However, as many of us know and although education is offered free of charge in every city in the country, Brazil still has very high rates of illiterates and people who have dropped out without completing. In order to solve this problem that reaches from basic education to high school, the EJA, an acronym for "Youth and Adult Education" was created. Using the methodology of bibliographic research, this article aims to has established in Brazil the Education of Young and Adults throughout history and reflect on its importance and pedagogical practices. We will first discuss a brief historical account of the EJA in Brazil, and then we will talk about the role of the school as a social being. Another point to be addressed in this research is the profile of the students of the EJA, we will also make a brief explanation about the current scenario and challenges to be faced by this type of teaching. Finally, we will analyze the contribution that psychopedagogy can bring to youth and adult education.
