SILVA, Keila Mourana Marques  and  VASCONCELOS1, Valéria Oliveira de. What teach and learn students of EJA in their educational process? Popular education contributions. Sér.-Estud. [online]. 2017, vol.22, n.45, pp.99-119. ISSN 2318-1982.  https://doi.org/10.20435/serie-estudos.v22i45.1007.

This study is a master's research in socio-communitarian education in which we investigated the conceptions of 76 students about teaching and learning in the Youth and Adult Education (EJA) in relation to its role as learners, the teacher's role, education, school, among others. From these data we seek to raise possible contributions from Popular Education (EP). To collect the data we used to support a questionnaire with generating questions from specific theoretical framework, which was socialized and questioned in conversation circles. The results showed similarities between the views of the participants and some assumptions of Popular Education, such as: participation, autonomy and emancipation. The EP, more to take into account the reality of educating, should be based on the same reality, working with meaningful activities that contribute to the construction of knowledge, mediated by the dialogue. While some consider that the issues raised in this research are overcome and / or exceeded, our empirical experience, the theoretical support and the results of the research indicate that the reflection on educational practice and the necessary humanization of pedagogical processes persist as a fundamental and urgent requirement in the Youth and Adult Education.

Keywords : educative processes; EJA; popular education.
