ALFABETIZAÇÃO E LETRAMENTO NA EDUCAÇÃO DE JOVENS E ADULTOS

Abstract

The present study has as it's theme Youth and Adult Education (EJA) and aims to address literacy in this teaching modality, as well as the importance of the teacher and their methodology. Regarding literacy, this process stands out as a result of significant literacy, that is, far from the simple decoding of the language, enabling the individual for the social exercise of reading and writing. In this sense, answers were sought for the following problem: how is literacy materialized in Youth and Adult Education? Based on the already shown, the research intended to understand the issues related to literacy in the process of building learning at EJA, thus justifying the theme, based on the need and importance of teachers being able to work with people who, for their own reasons, did not complete the schooling process at the correct age, compromising their literacy in both capacities. Starting from the objectives, the study had as it's method the bibliographical research, searching in literature the theoretical contributions arranged mainly in articles with the same theme. It is noteworthy that the time frame was from 2000 to 2020, excluding sources prior to these years. Among it's results, it was observed that literacy is the social practice of reading and writing, needing to be the basis for teaching work at EJA, as it's subjects need to build their autonomy, distancing themselves from the mere repetition of preexisting models.
