Discussion on the continuity of schooling by means of youth and adult education (YAE) is developed within the perspective of Popular Education. We begin by analyzing the Decrees and Resolutions on the Literate Brazil Programme published by the Ministry of Education, reports from the State Forums of Youth and Adult Education and documents which deal specifically with youth and adult literacy in Brazil with a view to understanding current concerns and actions involving the continuity of studies by young people, adults and the elderly in the modality of YAE. We then analyze a number of theses and dissertations which deal with PBA with a view to identifying how the challenges with respect to the continuity (or not) of students who conclude PBA are dealt with in the different regions of the country. Finally we interview five students who concluded PBA, in the Municipality of Conde with the intention of identifying and analyzing their reasons for continuing to study. We dedicate special attention to the arguments capable of translating desires, aspirations and anxieties. To this end, we make use of Thematic Analysis, based on the Content Analysis approach (BARDIN, 2011). The works of Freire (2009, 2005, 1998, 1996,1979), Charlot (2005) and Pozo (2002) amongst others served as important references concerning the relation between knowledge and the active role of learners as a means of sustaining the schooling process in the modality of YAE. Amongst the results of the research we highlight: the interviewees consider teaching and learning as a means of creating good relations in the school context; they await urgent feedback, in the form of training, so that they can help the youngsters with home work, in order to obtain a national driving license, in order not to have problems in dealing with bank matters and in order to participate actively in church activities, among other practical demands. / A presente dissertação teve como objetivo investigar os motivos que levam as alunas egressas do Programa Brasil Alfabetizado PBA, do município de Conde/PB, a continuarem (ou não) os estudos na EJA. Este estudo insere, no campo da Educação Popular, a discussão sobre a continuidade da escolarização em EJA. Analisamos, inicialmente, Decretos e Resoluções do PBA, relatórios dos fóruns de EJA e documentos que tratam especialmente da alfabetização de jovens e adultos no Brasil, a fim de compreender como andam as preocupações e as ações voltadas para a continuidade dos estudos de jovens, adultos e idosos na modalidade EJA. Em seguida, percorremos alguns trabalhos de teses e dissertações que tratam do PBA, visando, especialmente, identificar como são abordados os desafios a respeito da continuidade (ou não) dos alunos egressos do PBA nas várias regiões do país. Completando nosso percurso, entrevistamos cinco alunas egressas do Programa, no município de Conde/PB, na intenção de identificar e analisar as razões pelas quais elas continuam a estudar. É dada atenção aos argumentos capazes de traduzir desejos, inquietações e aspirações. Para tanto, trabalhamos com Análise Temática, a partir da abordagem da Análise de Conteúdo (BARDIN, 2011). Foram dados destaques às obras de Freire (2009,2005, 1998, 1996, 1979), Charlot (2005) e Pozo (2002), entre outros, pelo que trazem sobre relação de saberes e o papel ativo dos educandos, para que o processo de continuidade escolar, na modalidade EJA, sustente-se. Entre os achados da pesquisa, temos que: as entrevistadas pensam o ensinar e o aprender como um meio de bem se relacionar no espaço escolar; aguardam retornos urgentes, como capacitação, para que possam ajudar os mais jovens nas tarefas escolares, conseguir carteira nacional de habilitação, não terem problemas em assuntos de banco e participar ativamente de suas igrejas, entre outras demandas práticas.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Veneranda Rocha de Carvalho.pdf: 2204079 bytes, checksum: 317d91d9bd6c40aa247544ec19e2cbd1 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-09-15 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / This research aimed to investigate the reasons why subjects of at least 60 years of age enter the Adult Literacy Movement (MOVA), a public policy currently known as the Brazil Literacy Program (PBA), in Embu das Artes/SP. It was motivated by the high rate of illiteracy that is evident in our country and in the world. According to UNESCO's 11th Global Education Monitoring Report, there are 774 million people worldwide who can not read or write, which means that approximately 11% of the world's population is illiterate. Another motivating factor was the fact that this was the only public policy action carried out by the federal government in regards to the literacy of people over 15 years of age and developed the Brazil Literacy Program, promoted by the Secretariat for Continuing Education, Literacy, Diversity and Inclusion (SECADI) since 2003. The city of Embu das Artes/SP was chosen due to the fact that the PBA has existed there since that date, when the program was implemented nationally. Furthermore, of the 39 municipalities that make up the metropolitan area of São Paulo, only Embu das Arts has had unbroken adhesion to the program since its inception. The aim is to investigate the evolution of the social and life trajectories of subjects aged 60 and over, who were not taught to read at the appropriate age, and the reasons for and the meaning of late literacy. It was hypothesized that the reasons for returning to school are not closely linked to the relationship between the subject and reading and writing but to personal reasons. Research procedures included a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The authors Bourdieu (1998), Lahire (2008) and Charlot (2000) were utilized in order to comprehend the data through the concepts of cultural and social capital, identity, family configurations and relationship to knowledge, respectively. At the end of the research the hypothesis was confirmed, concluding that the senior citizens seek out schooling due to dispositions that are much more geared towards health and personal motivations, aimed at socialization rather than a desire to learn to read and write which were shown to be secondary motivations / Esta pesquisa investigou as razões pelas quais os sujeitos a partir de 60 anos ingressaram no Movimento de Alfabetização de Adultos (MOVA), política pública atualmente denominada Programa Brasil Alfabetizado (PBA), em Embu das Artes/SP, e motivada pelo alto índice de analfabetismo que se mostra em nosso país e no mundo. Segundo o 11° Relatório de Monitoramento Global de Educação para Todos, da UNESCO, há 774 milhões de pessoas em todo planeta que não sabem ler nem escrever, isso significa que aproximadamente 11% da população mundial é analfabeta. Outro fator se deve pela única ação de política pública do Governo Federal em relação à alfabetização de pessoas acima de 15 anos, desenvolvendo o Programa Brasil Alfabetizado, promovido pela Secretaria de Educação Continuada, Alfabetização, Diversidade e Inclusão (SECADI), desde o ano de 2003. A escolha da cidade de Embu das Artes/SP deve-se ao fato do PBA existir desde essa data, quando da sua implementação em âmbito nacional – além de que, dos 39 municípios que compõem a região metropolitana de São Paulo, somente Embu das Artes tem adesão ininterrupta desde sua criação. A pesquisa também buscou mostrar como se deu a trajetória social de vida e escolar de sujeitos a partir de 60 anos ou mais, não alfabetizados na idade própria, as razões e o significado de ser alfabetizado tardiamente. Formulou-se por hipótese que as razões, do retorno escolar, não estavam ligadas estreitamente a relação entre o sujeito com a leitura e escrita, mas por motivações pessoais. Utilizou-se como procedimentos de pesquisa, questionário e entrevista semiestruturada. Os autores Bourdieu (1998), Lahire (2008) e Charlot (2000) são empregados para compreensão dos dados a partir dos conceitos de capital cultural e social, identidade, configurações familiares e relação com o saber, respectivamente. Ao final da pesquisa a hipótese foi confirmada, concluindo que os idosos procuram a escola por disposições muito mais dirigidas à saúde e motivações pessoais voltadas para a socialização, que pelo desejo de aprender a ler e a escrever, sendo, assim, a leitura e a escrita secundárias

This thesis tells the story of an historical tradition of radical literacy and literature that is defined as the British radical literary tradition. It takes the meaning of literature at its broadest understanding and identifies the literary and educational relations of what E.P. Thompson terms 'the making of the English working class' through its struggle for literacy and freedom. The study traces the developing dialectic of literary radicalism and the emergent hegemony of capitalism through the dissemination of radical ideas in literature and a groundswell of public literacy. The proposed radical tradition is defined by the oppositional stance of its participants, from the radical intellectual's critical texts to the striving for literacy and access to literature by working class people. This oppositional discourse emerged in the fourteenth century concomitant with nascent capitalism and has its literary origins in utopian vision. This nascent utopian imagination conceived a democratic socialism that underpinned the character of much of the following oppositional discourse. The thesis establishes the nexus of the oppositional discourse as a radical literary tradition and the earliest instances of adult education in autodidacticism and informal adult education. The ascent of middle class power through the industrial revolution is shadowed by the corresponding descent of the working class into poverty. Concomitant with this social polarisation is the phenomena of working class literary agency as the means to political and economic agency. While Protestant dissenting groups such as the Diggers and Levellers were revolutionary activists, it was Methodism that formed a bulwark against revolution. Yet it was their emphasis on self-improvement that contributed to an increasingly literate populace. Radical texts produced and disseminated by individuals and organisations and read by autodidactics and informal reading groups are seminal in the formation of a working class identity. Spearheaded by the Chartist movement, education became a central ethic of working class politics and the civil struggle for economic and political justice throughout the nineteenth and well into the twentieth centuries. The avant garde movements of the early twentieth century are analysed as a strand of this tradition. The narrative of the thesis then moves to the penal colony of Australia and explores the radical literary tradition's development there. Early colonial culture is seen as having a strong impetus towards a developing a native literary expression of the new land. Where conservative colonial literature struggled to differentiate itself from formal British literary models, the radical heritage and its utopian vision of a working man's paradise gave definitive expression to the Australian experience. This expression was strongly influenced by Chartist ideals. The British radical literary tradition is thus seen to have had a dominant influence in the development of a native radical literary tradition that strove to identify the national character. Socialist thought developed in Australia in concert with that in the parent culture, and anarchist and libertarian trends found a ready home amongst independent minded colonials. Yet, in preventing the formation of a native aristocracy the small radical population made a compromise with liberalism that saw a decidedly conservative streak develop in the early labour movement. There were little in the way of sophisticated radical literary offerings at first, but from the mid-nineteenth century a vanguard of radicals produced a thriving native press and other fugitive text forms. At the turn of the century the native radical literary tradition was vibrantly diverse, with a definitive style that claimed literary ownership of the Australian character. However, exhausted by the battles over WWI conscription and isolated by censorship, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was able to subsume the vanguard position from the socialists. The Party laid claim to the Australian radical literary tradition, at once both strengthening it with the discipline of a Marxist ideology and diminishing its independence and diversity. Party literary theory centred upon the issue of class, developing a doctrine of socialist realism that communist writers were expected to practice. How well a writer adhered to socialist realist principles became a measure of their class position and loyalty. Drawing more from primary sources, the thesis develops an analysis of the intellectual development of the Australian post-WWII writer Eric Lambert through his experience of class instability during Depression and war. The study examines Lambert's decision to join the Party and his literary response to his experiences of war, the Party, the turmoil of 1956 and life after the Party. Lambert's body of work is then analysed as the unintentional memoir of a writer working as an adult educator in the radical literary tradition. Lambert's struggles, for artistic independence within the narrow precepts of Party dogma and with class tensions, were common amongst intellectuals committed to the communist cause. Like many of his peers, Lambert resigned from the Party at the end of 1956 and suffered a period of ideological vacuum. However, he continued to write as a Marxian educator, seeking to reveal that which makes us human in the humanity of ordinary people. It is concluded that, while the Party did much to foster disciplined cohesion, the mutual distrust it generated amongst its intellectuals suppressed the independent thought that had kept the radical literary tradition alive. Although the Party developed an ideological strength within the radical literary tradition, its dominance over thirty years and subsequent fall from grace acted to fragment and discredit that centuries-old tradition which it subsumed. An argument is made for a reinvestment of the centrality of the radical literary tradition in the education of adults for the maintenance of social justice and the democratic project.

Nele problematizamos como e por que. no interior dos governos militares, emergiu uma instituição que se destinava à alfabetização de adultos e à educação para a saúde, bem como as complexas relações que estão em jogo no modo como ele se propõe a produzir subjetividades salubres e ordeiras. Neste sentido, analisamos especialmente as estratégias educativas e as linhas de fuga, que astuciosamente burlavam tais estratégias, que lidavam com dois eixos fundamentais: a produção de livros didáticos para a "Alfabetização Funcional e Educação Permanente" e a execução do "Programa de Educação Comunitária para a Saúde". Para realizar esta empreitada foram analisadas publicações como: cartilhas para a alfabetização e leitura, manuais do professor, relatórios oficiais do MOBRAL, matérias de revistas e jornais, fotografias, leis, decretos, relatórios de uma CPI e das V,VI e VII Conferências Nacionais de Saúde e os áudios dos programas de rádio Domingo MOBRAL, Você pergunta e o MOBRAL responde e Vila da Boa Saúde. Além disso, para contribuir com a reflexão sobre este objeto dc estudo, fizemos uso de parte das reflexões presentes no arcabouço teórico produzido por Roger Chartier e Michel de Certeau, entre outros; tendo em vista a intensidade com a qual eles afetaram o campo historiográfico com seus estudos sobre a História do Livro e da leitura e a produção de uma "cultura ordinária". Enquanto isto, do ponto de vista metodológico, apropriamo-nos da análise do discurso proposta por Montenegro e da antropologia do visual produzida por Georges Didi-Hubcrman. / This papcr analy/es the educational strategies made by the Bra/.ilian Movcment Education Foundation - MOBRAL. in the production of its educational programs. with emphasis on apropriation of medicai knowledge. between the years 1970 and 1985.

In this sensc. espccially analyzed the educational strategies and lines of flight that cleverly mocked such strategies, dealing with two main arguments: the production of textbooks for the "Functional Literacy and Continuing Education" and the implementation of the "Community Education Program for Health ".

A large number of adult women living in rural parts of the country had neither the free time nor the opportunity to receive basic education at their early ages. As a result, despite the women's numerical significance, and their remarkable contribution to the economic development, women faced social and cultural challenges that undermine their human worth and dignity. These problems result mainly from lack of education among the majority of women and can possibly cause poverty and inequality. To address these problems, adult education and literacy programs that incorporate functional adult literacy, vocational training, and entrepreneurial support was implemented. Such a program is believed, would promote socioeconomic empowerment of women. Thus, the aim of this study was to explore the impact of this adult literacy program on the rural women's socioeconomic empowerment. Conscientization and dialogue theory of Paulo Freire was adopted as a theoretical framework. A case study method was used with a purpose to determine the impact of adult literacy on the socioeconomic life of rural women. For sampling purpose, three adult literacy supervisors, five adult literacy facilitators, and twenty women were included. Data collection tools were in-depth interviews, focus group discussion and personal field notes. To analyze the data, the researcher took the rules proposed by Huberman and Miles (1994) and Marshall and Ross (1995).The analysis of the data resulted in two major themes, five categories, and twenty-one sub-categories. The result showed that the adult literacy program enhanced the following components of women's life: At the individual level, it improved, the ability to read, write and calculate; self-confidence to express one's feeling and idea; a positive self-concept; and confidence to challenge the already established wrong meaning about women. At the social level, literacy changed women's negative attitude towards children's education; improved their ability to persuade/communicate their spouses; it improved women's knowledge of family planning and health matters. Furthermore, it improved women's social networking ability and mobility; and changed women's attitude towards commonly practiced social evils like female child genital mutilation; and also increased women's participation in social affairs. At an economic level, adult literacy equipped women with the knowledge and skills to engage in different income generating activities like poultry production, honey production and growing different types of vegetables. Moreover, adult literacy advanced women's knowledge of saving and effective utilization of resources. However, it was found that that specific adult literacy program could not equip women adequately to exercise their decision-making right in financial management. / Language Education, Arts and Culture / D.

To this end, we analysed the curricular proposal, the textbook used in youth and adult’s literacy classes and the teacher’s manual, as well as questionnaires answered by students and teachers. As theorical support for the alphabetization process, we researched works by Ferreiro (1983) and follwers, Tfouni (1988) and Soares (2000) sewed as theorical basis for the issues pertaining literacy. Bakthin (2000) was the basis for the central notion of textual genre. In general lines, we noticed that the teaching writing skills happens permeated by the following problems: a) despite the fact that curricular proposal and the teacher’s manual present a conception of writing based on social-cognitive aspects, this approach is not present in the in-training sessions or the writing activities carried out in the classroom; b) textual genre definition as well as the designation of the various textual genres required in classroom activities is still very unstable; c) the textual genres proposed in the writing activities do not fulfill the student’s learning expectations ; d) there is a discrepancy between what the teacher says he/she is working in the classroom and what the student says he/she is learning / Levando em consideração que a língua escrita é um meio de interação entre as pessoas e que é nessa perspectiva que devem ser desenvolvidas as atividades em ambiente de sala de aula de alfabetização, o objetivo principal desse trabalho foi investigar como é concebido o processo de ensino-aprendizagem da escrita em um programa de alfabetização de jovens e adultos. Para isso, analisamos a proposta curricular, o livro didático de alfabetização de jovens e adultos e seu respectivo manual do professor, além de questionários respondidos por alunos e alfabetizadores. Para tanto, recorremos ao suporte teórico de Ferreiro (1999) e seguidores para as questões pertinentes à alfabetização; Tfouni (1988) e Soares (2000) fundamentaram as questões relativas ao letramento; e Bakthin (2000) respaldou a noção central de gênero textual. Constatamos, em linhas gerais, que o ensino da escrita ainda acontece permeado por problemas de diversas ordens a seguir enumeradas: a) apesar de a proposta curricular e do manual do professor do livro didático esboçarem uma concepção de escrita atrelada ao seu aspecto sócio-comunicativo, não é isso que acontece nas orientações didáticas e nas atividades de produção de texto; b) a designação para gênero textual e para os diversos gêneros textuais solicitados nas atividades ainda é muito instável; c) os gêneros textuais trabalhados em sala de aula não coincidem com aqueles mais presentes nas esferas comunicativas em que os alfabetizandos interagem; d) os gêneros textuais propostos nas atividades de escrita não atendem às expectativas de aprendizagem dos alunos; e) há uma incoerência entre aquilo que o professor afirma estar trabalhando em sala de aula e aquilo que o aluno diz estar aprendendo

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the facilitation methods used in the adult centre to motivate adult learners to participate in Adult Basic Education and Training (ABET) programmes, as the majority of South Africans have a low level of literacy. The illiteracy could not be viewed independently of the apartheid policies that were in place before democratisation in 1994. After the democratisation the African National Congress (ANC) policies, prioritised the provision of ABET. The policy was for ABET provide education including basic literacy, numeracy to a level equivalent to the General Certificate of Education to adults who have had little or no formal schooling. ABET is viewed as a means to educate and train adults and is regarded as a force for social participation and economic development. The researcher was prompted to investigate the effectiveness of the facilitation methods to motivate adult learners to participate in learning or not. Adults’ participation in learning programmes will help them towards social participation and also to develop them economically. If adults are economically developed, South Africa will not be facing such huge rate of unemployment, poverty and illiteracy. As there are a number of development programmes that are offered at Ekurhuleni to equip adults with relevant skills required for development and equipping them with the skills to face economic challenges of the country, motivation becomes essential because if learners are not motivated to participate, they are not going to be involved in them and get the necessary education. The focus is also on the facilitation methods that are used in the learning centre. Qualitative research has enabled the researcher to gather enough data through employing interviews. Individual interviews, focus group interviews as well as observation were the tools used in this study. It reveals that facilitation methods that are used are not effective enough to motivate adult learners’ participation in ABET programmes. Thus recommendations and suggestions were made to assist the i facilitators in rendering effective facilitation methods for the benefit of the adult learners. / Educational Leadership and Management / D.
