Youth and Adult Education; Teacher Training; Biographical narratives.
This doctoral study project has as its research field the teaching training of young, adult and elderly people. The objective of the research is to understand how the training trajectories experienced by EJA teachers and the meanings attributed to their experiences can contribute to facing the challenges of teaching practice and training in the municipality of Montes Claros/MG. Guided by the general objective, we constructed specific objectives in order to describe the organization of EJA in the municipality of Montes Claros, identifying the scenarios and training actions aimed at teachers; identify the knowledge that teachers mobilize and/or have mobilized from their life stories for the teaching process and discuss the challenges that teachers face and/or have faced in the course of working with young people, adults and the elderly. The focus will be based on a qualitative approach through studies that discuss the methodology of narrative biography based on Monteagudo (2014, 2017). To collect information, we will use qualitative research strategies through narrative interviews (Bauer; Gaskell, 2002) with a minimum number of 5 and a maximum number of 8 teachers who work/worked at EJA, in the municipality of Montes Claros/MG.
