SUMMARY:

This doctoral study investigates teacher education in Youth, Adult and Elderly Education (EJA), a modality historically marked by discontinuities in public policies and structural challenges in addressing working-class subjects. We aim to understand how the formative trajectories of teachers in the municipality of Montes Claros, Minas Gerais, contribute to coping with the challenges that permeate teaching practice in this context. We describe the local organization of EJA and its formative actions, identify the knowledge mobilized from teachers’ life histories, and analyze the challenges they face in their work with young people, adults, and elderly students. We adopted a qualitative approach grounded in narrative biographical methodology, based on the theoretical contributions of Nóvoa (2007, 2014) and Monteagudo (2014, 2017). Data were produced through narrative interviews (Bauer & Gaskell, 2002) conducted with five teachers from the municipal school system. Thematic analysis focused on identifying core meanings articulating experience, professional education, and teaching practice. The findings indicate that formative trajectories are dynamic processes shaped by life experiences, institutional contexts, and ethical-political commitments that configure singular ways of being a teacher in EJA. We show that the knowledge mobilized in practice does not derive exclusively from initial education or public policies but is constructed through the articulation of experience, reflection, and professional action. We reaffirm the centrality of the experiential dimension in teacher constitution and highlight the potential of the biographical-narrative approach to understanding teacher education in EJA as a continuous, situated, and politically engaged process.
