Youth and Adult Education; pedagogical practices; school institutions; History of Adult Education in Brazil.
The present work aims to map the pedagogical practices developed at the Municipal School of Youth and Adult Education (EJA) Iarandi Aguiar, located in the municipality of Monte Alegre, Rio Grande do Norte, from 2011 to 2020. This time frame is justified because it is the decade that marked the installation of the EJA modality in that school. At the national level, we analyzed the EJA from the 1940s, when the first schools aimed at adult education appeared in Brazil. We also deal with the History of Education and Institutions. The theoretical foundation was based on authors such as Freire (1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1996, 2015), Certeau (1998), Germano (1982), Gadotti (2003), Di Pierro (2012), Gatti Júnior (2007), Buffa and Nosella (2005), Carvalho (2014), Magalhães (1996), Laville; Dionne (1999), Escolano (2008), Nóvoa (1999), Vidal and Faria Filho (2003), Saviani (2005), Vanilda Paiva (1975), Haddad and Di Pierro (2000), Jane Paiva (1998), among others. The methodological path followed is based on the approach to the history of Education, through bibliographic research and document analysis, developed in constant dialogue with each other; approach to concepts of EJA as a right (categories of access and permanence), pedagogical practice; educational institution, in a textual history approach, based on the historical method of documentary research. The research revolved around historical sources (School Census, Minutes, Regulations and Local Decrees), Institution, EJA as a right (Constitution of 1988, LDB, National and State Decrees, Decrees). As a presupposition, we start from the premise that the pedagogical practices contribute to the permanence of the student in the school space. We also reflect that the school, whether public or private, must continually and permanently rethink its practices in the school routine, in a dialogic practice. In addition, we point out the need for the normative body of Education in the State, the State Council of Education (CEE/RN) to have a counselor (a) specialist in EJA, so that the regulations emanating from that body reflect the aspirations and demands used to the modality.
