This study investigates the relevance of Youth and Adult Education (YAE) in contexts of deprivation of liberty, based on the perspective of popular education. Using a qualitative-quantitative approach, statistical data from the Brazilian prison system are analyzed to examine the role of YAE in educating individuals deprived of liberty. Although it promises to explore the relationship between prison EJA and popular education, the study reveals gaps in implementing of this connection. Constructive criticisms are discussed about the need for greater articulation between educational practices, flexible curricula, and interdisciplinary work to strengthen the impact of YAE in these communities. It is concluded that education in prisons is not limited to literacy, but also offers opportunities for the reconstruction of citizenship and social reintegration, standing out as a fundamental instrument to break cycles of exclusion and crime, thus advancing towards a society fairer and more inclusive.

This article is part of the thesis, already completed, that discusses the inclusion of artisanal fishermen beneficiaries of the Unemployment Insurance Program for Artisanal Fishers (Programa Seguro Defeso Pescador/a Artesanal) (SDPA) in Youth and Adult Education (EJA). The object of investigation focuses on studies about this topic, seeking to verify the relationships between the schooling of these subjects and the Program. The research´s part focused on this study was the literature review related to works that explore productions that emphasize the relationship between the schooling of artisanal fishermen and SDPA. Its theoretical framework is studied on work and education, considering the subjects, their lives in fishing, and the cultural practices of the communities. Preliminary results indicate "gaps" in the studies related to the schooling of EJA students who live from fishing and who are SDPA beneficiaries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 2020, the world was taken aback by the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic. Faced with the challenges arising from the health crisis, the Faculty of Education at the University of Brasília sought alternatives to continue the educational actions of an extension project in the area of youth and adult education (EJA). This article aims to understand, based on Freire's concepts of limit situations and untested feasibility, the meanings of the formation and practice of popular educators in 2021, faced with the challenges of remote teaching. The qualitative-based methodology used the action research and experience systematization methods, through interviews and questionnaires conducted with the educators involved in the project. The text dialogues with the contributions of Freire and authors in the area of EJA and teacher training. The article points out the challenges faced in the context of the pandemic, due to the deterioration of living and health conditions, as well as the precarious access to new technologies faced by learners and educators of the project. Furthermore, it shows that the support received by popular educators for the development of pedagogical activities was essential for them to continue persevering in their activities, even in such an uncertain time.

There are numerous challenges found in education, especially regarding Youth and Adult Education (YAE), where low school performance and high dropout rates are found. In this context, a great challenge for the teaching staff is to build practices that provide students with greater involvement with the discipline and a more critical view of the world. The purpose of this work is in line with Paulo Freire's pedagogy, which is constituted in the generating themes as a method of disalienation and learning to education, together with the proposal of Augusto Boal, which is based on the Theatre of the Oppressed as a scenic pedagogical method. In common, both proposals present an ethical-political position of social transformation, through education and culture. The aim of this work was to develop and evaluate a proposal through Augusto Boal's Theater-Forum, in the context of YAE, seeking to verify the relationship in the definition of Paulo Freire's generating theme. The results showed that working the Theater-Forum through dialogicity gave the student the opportunity to contribute to the dialogue, thus establishing his/her autonomy and criticality, in addition to being an efficient method for the search and definition of the generating theme.

This study seeks to understand what has been researched, the main interpretations, thematic knowledge and the places occupied by the curricular component of Physical Education in the Youth and Adult Education (YAE). For that, the search was carried out in journals belonging to the area of Physical Education, with strata A2, B1 and B2. With this review, it is possible to understand that Physical Education in the YAE still follows a path where the thematized knowledge is related to a Sports-based Physical Education or based on physical fitness focused on health, proposals that do not seem to dialogue with the premises of YAE. However, we also point to recent experiences that point to reflection on the proposition of Physical Education in YAE and how it can contribute to the thematization of the realities experienced by YAE subjects, seeking to be guided by the struggle for dignity, emancipation and the repair of rights that have been given to them denied.

We aim to report the experience of a Physical Education teacher, in remote teaching, with a visually impaired female student in Youth and Adult Education (EJA). We base this pedagogical intervention on the Freirean perspective, having as guiding principles: dialogue, inclusion, construction of a horizontal relationship between teacher and student, and life experiences. Synchronous moments were carried out, via WhatsApp, having the student's reality as a starting point for the construction of learning, critical and reflective awareness, through the knowledge of Physical Education through dialogic classes. Some difficulties were experienced, such as the lack of knowledge about educational technologies to mediate classes, the instability of the internet connection, the insecurity about remote teaching and the experience of body practices without the presence of the teacher. We conclude that there is a need for teacher training on educational technologies, in addition to the importance of inclusive, dialogic and problematizing methodologies. The choice of synchronous/asynchronous activities contributes to reducing the distance between teacher and student, enabling the construction of knowledge, through a dialogic pedagogical practice. The absence of structural, technological and pedagogical support, in the pandemic context, and the lack of continuing education on educational technologies reflected in the increase in educational inequalities.

This essay aims to analyze the National Program for the Integration of Professional Education with Basic Education in the Youth and Adult Education Modality (PROEJA) from the perspective of political refraction. The essay, in methodological terms, works with concepts in order to make sense of reality, in a movement between objectivity and subjectivity. Therefore, secondary data was sought through bibliographic research. With regard to PROEJA, it should be noted that despite the importance and the need for a good State policy aimed at the education of young people and adults (EJA), this type of education has suffered from the worsening of its expansion and maintenance conditions. The choice of the concept of political refraction is justified insofar as it is understood that the lack of improvement and investment in EJA is not due to the legislation pertaining to this type of education, but to the distortion at the time of its implementation. Based on the configuration of the field of EJA education in Brazil, it was noticed that the achievements of this modality for the realization of education as a right for all were obtained through disputes between conservative and progressive sectors. Despite everything that was said, it was found that EJA still exists and resists!. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article intends to address the contributions of the participatory methodology of the Systematization of Experiences for Youth and Adult Education, so that schools, professionals, researchers and managers who are involved with this teaching modality can learn from their practice and communicate it with other practices similar to theirs. It is a bibliographic approach to this methodology, which can serve as a fundamental element for the development of successful actions and the production of materials for youth and adults, taking into account their specific characteristics, thus allowing an articulation between theory and practice. From the analysis carried out, we understand that this methodological perspective allows participants to extract learning from their practice, theorizing it, and thus socializing the results obtained with other spaces, circulating the acquired knowledge and contributing to other pedagogical practices.

The National Program for Integration of Professional Education with Basic Education, in the Youth and Adult Education Modality (Proeja), ended up being an ensemble of Professional and Technological Education (EPT) with Youth and Adult Education (EJA). To understand Proeja, it is essential that we know EJA and EPT beforehand. This research aims to understand the itineraries of the three teaching modalities in the Federal Network, trying to visualize points of convergence and divergence, as well as understand the nuances of Proeja. For that, we chose the dialectical method, with a qualitative approach, with an exploratory character of the investigated phenomenon. Data collection took place through a literature review and document analysis. At the time, we found that both EJA and EPT have histories of marginalization, but the second, when entering a new institution, had the consequences of the process mitigated, while the first remained on the margins of educational policies. Finally, it was found that Proeja is a reflection of these two realities and, therefore, brings with it the historical burden of the former and the latter, and it was also implemented without the necessary planning, which we suggest may have corroborated the program's discontinuity process in the Federal Network.

This article discusses the knowledge and mathematical sayings of students in Youth and Adult Education (EJA), highlighting the importance of their reading of the world. We take as a methodology a qualitative approach with an interpretive basis. Thus, the focus of this work is discussing Popular Education in the form of EJA under the Freirean perspective and analyze what EJA students know and say about Mathematics, considering the practice of reading the world performed by them in their daily lives, aiming to establish the relationship between the context in which the subjects who are part of the research are inserted. We substantiate with the authors: Freire (1988, 1987), D'Ambrósio (2008), Arroyo (2017), among others. From the investigations, it was possible to notice that EJA students experience a journey of displacement between work and school on a daily basis. They develop mathematical skills in their daily lives and practice readings of the world that can find meaning and value for students when articulated with school mathematics. Therefore, they are practitioners of mathematical operations in life, of the "reading of the world", and wish to appropriate the school's mathematical knowledge to add to their own, which, above all, are utilitarian and need to be valued in the school curriculum.

This text intends to reflect about Youth and Adult Education in the context of freedom, according to some contemporary philosophers and thinkers. Initially, an analysis was performed presenting some concepts about freedom in the vision of different authors, such as: Sartre, Kant, Marx, Guy Debord (2003), Hannah Arendt (1983) and Paulo Freire (1979; 1981; 1986; 1997). Then it was argued that, in the contemporary world, the internet is the force that has most revolutionized the media, bringing many benefits in a general scope, as well as the considerable increase in the possibilities of distorting its use. In this way, it is sought to be based on laws that regulate this use and which guarantee freedom and privacy to the individual. In a third moment, it was discussed the realization of the right to education of young people and adults deprived of their liberty, including those in the digital age, valuing them before society and the world of work, allowing for educational and social inclusion.

The objective of the research is to investigate the socioeconomic and family influences in the life trajectories of Young and Adult Education (YAE) students, highlighting if/how these influences reflected in the school environment, development and learning for these students. The qualitative nature research was carried out through the recording of a semi-structured interview with four high school YAE students. The results indicate that students present "sequelae" from their previous experiences, and it is necessary to consider the different realities, specificities and cultural relations of these students, in order to value their trajectories and to associate them with the teaching and learning process.
