VARGAS, Sonia Maria de  and  FANTINATO, Maria Cecilia de Castello Branco. Formação de professores da educação de jovens e adultos: diversidade, diálogo, autonomia. Rev. Diálogo Educ. [online]. 2011, vol.11, n.34, pp.915-931. ISSN 1981-416X.

In this paper we intend to reflect on the importance of teacher training to young and adult education that will allow the appropriation of theoretical and methodological concepts of cultural diversity, dialogue and autonomy. We discuss the implications of continued education for the development of a curriculum for adult education that takes into consideration the concepts mentioned. We also highlight the political dilemmas experienced by teachers and practitioners who seek to enhance the knowledge of students, seeking to rely on dialogue as the basis for the construction of citizenship. The research is justified by the need to broaden the discussion on teacher education for culturally diverse contexts, as in the case of adult education. The study is based on qualitative research, and primarily used semistructured interviews with teachers who taught in the Education Program for Youths and Adults of the Municipal of Rio de Janeiro (Peja/SME-RJ) and used in different processes of continuing education offered by SME-RJ, for the period 2004-2008.

Keywords : Teacher Education; Youth and Adult Education; Cultural Diversity.
