RELATOS DE VIVÊNCIAS DE ALUNOS DA EJA EM ESCOLAS DE NAVIRAÍ - MS: A CURRICULARIZAÇÃO DA EXTENSÃO NA UFMS-CPNV

Abstract

This research, entitled “Reports of experiences of EJA students in schools in Naviraí, Mato Grosso do Sul: the curricularization of extension at UFMS,” investigated the relevance of the practical activity of curricularization of extension in the subject of Youth and Adult Education in the Pedagogy course at the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS), Naviraí campus. The qualitative research was part of a final course project and aimed to analyze the considerations reported in a logbook by students of the discipline on proposed theoretical and practical academic training activities through direct contact with EJA students. The theoretical basis was based on authors such as Freire (2021) and Hooks (2017), who understand education as an act of freedom. During the investigation, it was observed that the narratives produced by EJA students impacted the reflection of the students in the Pedagogy course. The reports presented by EJA students represent the reasons and difficulties faced that led to the abandonment of education at the regular age. It became evident that the sensitive mediation of the teacher who observes, listens, and problematizes is essential to make learning a meaningful experience. It is concluded that this work contributes to future teachers' understanding of the reality of youth and adult education in the municipality of Naviraí-MS and also reaffirms the importance of education in the formation of any individual, at any age.
