OS DESAFIOS DO ENSINO MEDIADO PELAS TECNOLOGIAS DIGITAIS NA EJA ARTICULADA À EDUCAÇÃO PROFISSIONAL E TECNOLÓGICA

Abstract

This paper discusses the obstacles to teaching in Youth and Adult Education (EJA), focusing on the use of digital technologies in conjunction with Professional and Technological Education (EPT). Considering the historical debt owed to young people and adults who did not complete their studies at the appropriate age, the study examines how teaching practices utilizing digital technologies can enhance or restrict learning. The central issue lies in understanding the challenges faced by EJA educators and students—such as digital inequality, the lack of infrastructure, and inadequate training—and how collaboration with EPT can provide solutions. The methodology is qualitative, employing an exploratory approach and bibliographic research. Data collection took place on the following platforms: Oasisbr and Google Scholar, searching for articles, theses, and dissertations published between 2019 and 2024. The study seeks to clarify how teaching practices can overcome these obstacles and promote digital inclusion and holistic development. Therefore, it is concluded that surmounting these hurdles requires a reassessment of pedagogical practices, the recognition of students' life experiences, and the implementation of a unified curriculum that prepares them for the labor market while encouraging social and digital inclusion. Teacher training and the creation of a welcoming, innovative environment are essential to motivate students and reduce educational disparities.
