EVASÃO NA EDUCAÇÃO DE JOVENS E ADULTOS: o que revelam as produções acadêmicas?

Abstract

The Course Completion Work presented aims to identify in academic productions the reasons that contribute to dropout in Youth and Adult Education – EJA. To this end, we conducted a survey in the database of the Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), based on the descriptor "MOTIVOS EVASÃO EJA" in the title and abstract. A total of 31 productions were found, among which only 22 researches that offered a contribution about the reasons that lead the student to to evade the school environment. The results indicate that the factors that contribute to EJA dropout are linked to three major categories. The first is related to the students' personal issues. The second category is linked to the school space Finally, the third category concerns social, political, and economic issues. We believe that the need to reconfigure EJA is essential, with public policies that consider the specialties and peculiarities of the subjects who seek this type of education. Subjects who have had their access to education denied and interrupted by various factors and who face social, economic and cultural challenges. We argue that it is essential to give voice and viability to these students, with the purpose of providing the necessary conditions for them to remain in the school environment and complete their studies effectively.
