Desafios da formação docente continuada: uma análise sobre a inclusão de pessoas com deficiência na educação de jovens e adultos (EJA)

Abstract

The work highlights the importance and challenges of continuing teacher training in Youth and Adult Education (EJA), especially for the inclusion of students with disabilities. Its specific objectives are to identify legislation and educational policies that guide the inclusion of people with disabilities in EJA and their application in teaching practice, to detect the gaps and needs of the continuing education of EJA teachers to serve students with disabilities, as well as to describe the impacts of continuing teacher training on the effectiveness of inclusive pedagogical practices in EJA. The work uses field research, with data collection through a questionnaire, in which results were obtained that show the need for continuing education for teachers in youth and adult education, as well as the gaps present in initial training aimed at inclusive education. However, the research was of paramount importance for the academic environment, teachers, researchers and society, as it sought to investigate the lack of continuing education of teachers in EJA, as well as highlighting the importance of continuing education of teachers for the development of an inclusive and democratic education.
