O ESTUDANTE TRABALHADOR RESIDENTE NO ENTORNO DE CATALÃO (GO): COMENTÁRIOS SOBRE AS TRAJETÓRIAS, RISCOS E DESAFIOS DOS ESTUDANTES DE IPAMERI (GO)

Abstract

The general purpose of this work was to understand the reality of students who work and attend higher education. We intend to make known the difficulties faced in terms of time, commitment and the long distance between work and studies and the consequences of this dual activity in the teaching-learning process. How do these students adapt to a reality that goes against what is considered the usual, that is, that the study process is completed to only then enter the labor market? The students face several challenges that occur not only in the movement from the workplace to the university, but also to the difficulties faced in the academic field, such as: low academic performance, difficulties of concentration, tiredness from the journey that precedes the moment of studies, stress, among others that are due to this reality that every day ends up becoming more common in today's society. The choice for this study is due to the fact that a significant number of students who live in Ipameri, opt for courses offered in neighboring cities such as Pires do Rio, Urutaí, and Catalão by the number of options offered, especially the bachelor's degrees.
