COVID-19, ENSINO REMOTO E A EDUCAÇÃO DE JOVENS E ADULTOS

Abstract

Education is a fundamental process, regardless of color, race, religion or age, and its purpose is to develop the student, ensuring that they have a common training that is indispensable for the exercise of citizenship and provide them with the means to progress in their work and further studies. Through Youth and Adult Education - EJA, a teaching modality that aims to serve social groups that did not have access to education at the right age. In this sense, this article addresses the issue of remote education reflecting on the segment of Youth and Adult Education (EJA) in the context of the pandemic. In this sense, this article aims to reflect on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Youth and Adult Education. The methodology is based on a descriptive literature review, using the exploratory and analytical method. The analysis of the results is guided by that of content analysis. As a result, it is shown that Youth and Adult Education (EJA) must meet the needs of individuality, associating with their knowledge and learning pace of these students, therefore, in remote education or distance education, this process should not be differentiated. However, this makes us question whether EJA students will have significant learning in remote education. Therefore, what must be taken into account is the fulfillment of the learning objectives and the development of the skills to be achieved by students in exceptional circumstances caused by the pandemic. Therefore, it is hoped that this work can contribute in some way to improving the teaching of the EJA segment, leading to the reflection of pedagogical practices aimed at the formation of critical and reflective individuals.
