REFLECTIONS AND EDUCATIONAL POSSIBILITIES IN THE EDUCATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULTS WITH THE INSERTION OF NEW INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES

Abstract

Adult and youth education (EJA) provides opportunities for individuals who could not start or continue primary and secondary education at traditional ages, aiming to prepare them to enter the job market and fully exercise their citizenship. In EJA, educators must consider the historical development of the student and understand that teaching methods should be conducted differently and connected to the student's reality. Therefore, the integration of new information and communication technologies (ICT) in EJA becomes important to enhance social practices of reading and writing significantly in the social and professional lives of individuals. The use of ICT can be a means of educational innovation, reflecting on changes in reality and concepts through collective efforts. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using instructional documentaries in EJA teaching and its implications for conducting supervised practices in EJA contexts so that future teachers gain practical experience, understand students' needs, and develop effective teaching skills for this audience. To achieve its objectives, the study discusses the professional development of these teachers and the historical aspects of EJA. The analysis employs a qualitative approach and utilizes a qualitative, descriptive research method, specifically a bibliographic research, referencing authors who contribute to the EJA framework.
