O professor da educação de jovens e adultos (EJA) e programa municipal de educação de jovens e adultos (PMEA): trajetórias de vida e desafios profissionais.

Abstract

The present work is the result of a study on the profile and professional trajectory of teachers in Youth and Adult Education (EJA) and the Municipal Youth and Adult Education Program (PMEA) of a municipal school in Uberlandia-MG. The study was developed from the qualitative approach, using the semi-structured interview as a data collection instrument. For data analysis and organization we used the content analysis technique, preceded by the transcription of the conversations. The results were analyzed and discussed in the light of the adopted theoretical framework. The study participants are between 41 and 52 years old, with academic background in different areas. In addition to the school investigated, some of them also teach in other schools. All of them revealed particular difficulties in teaching at EJA / PMEA, but also demonstrated various techniques used to overcome these challenges. All respondents reported how rewarding and enriching the learning process for young and adult students is for them.
