YOUTH AND ADULT EDUCATION INTEGRATED TO PROFESSIONAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL EDUCATION IN IFRS

AN ANALYSIS OF THE PROFILE OF STUDENTS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF PERMANENCE AND SUCCESS INDICATORS

Abstract

Youth and Adult Education integrated into Professional Education (EJA-EPT) is an educational modality that seeks to provide a new opportunity for students who had a break in their school career in order qualify them for the labor market. In the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio Grande do Sul (IFRS), the offer of courses in this modality came about with the creation of an institutional project that, in addition to offering EJA-EPT courses, offered training for teachers and had a team to think about the permanence and success of students in the courses offered. Thus, this original paper has the general objective of presenting permanence and success indicators built from the analysis of the profile of EJA-EPT students in the IFRS in the year 2022. The research methodology consists of a historical analysis of the IFRS campuses that received the courses, followed by the reasoned construction of a questionnaire that was applied to the students, for the following analysis and data tabulation, which allowed the creation of permanence and success indicators from the data obtained. Indicators were built considering students’ needs, which are characterized by being possible actions to be carried out in school spaces, also mobilizing all subjects involved in the teaching and learning process. We conclude that providing this educational modality means understanding these worker students as protagonists of their own path, promoting the construction of inclusive public policies and reiterating the commitment of the IFRS as a public institution for everyone.
