COSTA, Jaqueline de Morais. Use of generator themes in the process of adult literacy. Rev. Inter Ação [online]. 2012, vol.37, n.2, pp.417-428. ISSN 0101-7136. https://doi.org/10.5216/ia.v37i2.13521.
This article set out to describe the process of research undertaken with students in an adult literacy program, through a case study. The research involved activities using the Paulo Freire methodology of using generator themes. It was seen that teaching through themes related to everyday life directly influences students' involvement in the classroom, and consequently, a successful learning outcome. It was found that this proposal meets the needs of learners, in the sense that it leads to knowing how to read and write and provides them with knowledge relevant to their lives.
