A permanência do trabalhador estudante no curso de Licenciatura em Biologia da UFRB

Abstract

This work aims to know the challenges experienced by student-workers, how they enter college education, how it remains, and what implications this double journey can bring during training. The theme aims to cooperate with the analysis of Brazilian reality concerning the higher education offered in the federal institution with the graduation course in the nighttime. For this purpose, 17 workers-students of the degree course in biology from the Federal University of Recôncavo da Bahia. For the theoretical foundation of this study, the ideas of authors who discuss the relationship between work and study, permanence, implications, and themes interconnected to this double journey were used, such as Abrantes (2012), Bittar (2006), Corrochano (2013), Costa e Dias (2015), Karl Marx (2010), Saviani (1994), Vargas, and Paula (2013). The research has a qualitative character, with a questionnaire composed of multiple choice and subjective questions, which brings narratives from student workers. Finally, it stands out from the responses obtained that working and studying is a challenging journey, having to articulate work and study, brings with it implications and a lot of physical and mental strain. Where most of the time the study is compromised by the precariousness of the time and dedication that it requires.
