A Eja e a formação de uma consciência crítica e cidadã na perspectiva de Paulo Freire

Abstract

The present work sought to analyze how Paulo Freire's thought and method are relevant in the process of an emancipatory education with a view to the humanization of subjects and the conquest of rights and citizenship. With the theme, "EJA and the formation of a critical and citizen conscience in the perspective of Paulo Freire", we have as a starting question the following question: How can EJA classes contribute to developing students' critical sense and individual conscience? and collective, in the conquest of rights and citizenship? The general objective seeks to analyze Paulo Freire's thinking and method in the literacy of Youth and Adults, aiming at the development of critical consciousness and the construction of citizenship, from the rescue of fundamental, individual and collective rights. The specific objectives are: to verify the profile of the EJA student; to promote individual and collective consciousness, the conquest of rights and citizenship, based on Paulo Freire's thinking; to analyze the Freirean conception of citizenship. The methodology used was bibliographic research and qualitative analysis of Paulo Freire's works and the thinking of some authors, whose approach in the context of education, rights and citizenship are interconnected with Freire's thinking. At the end of this research we can conclude that the EJA should be for the young and adult student, the awakening to the world, so that the student feels inserted in society and aware of their rights and responsibilities. This is possible through the proposal of liberating education and dialogue, as a fundamental tool, from the thought of Paulo Freire.
