Alfabetização como ferramenta de emancipação: a experiência de acadêmicas de Pedagogia na educação de jovens e adultos no município de Aquidauana-MS

Abstract

Literacy and literacy represent significant challenges for Youth and Adult Education (EJA), especially due to the shortage of qualified professionals and the conduct of pedagogical activities. This study seeks to understand how literacy can act as a tool for emancipation, analyzing the experience of Pedagogy students in teaching two EJA students in the city of Aquidauana - MS. Based on Paulo Freire's principles, the project's main objective is to promote pedagogical practices that value the student's protagonism, their culture and life history, favoring autonomy in the learning process. The methodology adopted combines bibliographic research and action research, allowing the collective construction of knowledge through direct interaction between students and academics. Preliminary results indicate an increase in student engagement, greater confidence in reading and writing, and a more humanized and meaningful learning relationship. Therefore, it is concluded that literacy in EJA, when conducted in a dialogical and contextualized way, can be an effective instrument of social emancipation and personal transformation.
