Fatores que concorrem para a baixa conclusão das etapas da educação básica na modalidade semipresencial da Educação de Jovens e Adultos da rede estadual de ensino de Minas Gerais: análise do fluxo escolar do CESEC do Leste Mineiro

Abstract

This research was developed within the scope of the Professional Postgraduate Program (PPGP) at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF). The management case was based on the completion rates of the Basic Education stages at CESEC of Leste Mineiro, which are significantly low. In this sense, the general objective of the research is to investigate and understand the difficulties that threaten students' access and retention at school, with a view to proposing a more equitable, contextualized and specialized school service for working adults and youth. This objective is divided into 3 specific objectives: one descriptive; one analytical and one propositional. The research is developed based on a theoretical foundation of the axes (i) school abandonment and dropout; (ii) the effects of the culture of disapproval on students’ academic trajectory and; (iii) work and study in the trajectory of young people. Therefore, we mainly consider the contributions of Santos (2003); Arroyo (2007); Luz (2008); Peregrino (2010); Gadotti (2009); Franzoi (2010); Riani (2012); Leite (2013); Carrano (2015); Soares et al (2015); Silva and Araújo (2017); Lima el al (2018); Abramo (2020), Landin (2022) and Brenner et al (2023). Data analysis is conducted using a qualitative methodology, through which we opted for analysis by category of participants, which was corroborated by the application of mixed and open questionnaires to students and teachers; as well as conducting interviews with students and the school principal. Finally, the proposed Educational Action Plan (PAE) emerges from the findings of the field research, based on the main contradictions and convergences between the school's concepts, its own organization of enrollment offer and educational expectations and challenges.
