Autoestima e aprendizagem na alfabetização de jovens, adultos e idosos: um olhar sensível e humano no âmbito familiar

Abstract

This paper aims to present and reflect on experiences lived through an interventional research project of literacy focused on adults immersed in the pandemic period in the family context that allowed to build bridges of connection allowing the excluded to read and write their word and their history. The work is being developed with illiterate adult students, through daily pedagogical activities planned aiming to solve an educational problem of some family members, because among the many educational problems in Brazil is illiteracy. It affects mostly young people, adults, and the elderly. In times of the Covid-19 pandemic, the family has also become a field of work and research, but to see a research object in these spaces it is necessary to have a sharp and sensitive look at a glaring reality that often goes unnoticed. The theoretical knowledge acquired at the Universidade Federal do Recôncavo da Bahia, a place distant and distinct from my home, contributed to develop this literacy work mediated by a woman, mother, daughter, professional, and researcher who is faced with the undeniable: illiteracy in the home. Sons and daughters of black women and black men, excluded from the right to "read and write their word" and their history. The process is carried out through pedagogical activities developed after observation and data collection. The theoretical referential of this work is a dialog of the theoretical field of youth, adult and elderly literacy, the causes and consequences of illiteracy with the pandemic scenario. In relation to the results of the work, they deal with insertion into the literate world through daily actions. Furthermore, they indicate paths for a conclusive approach to new possibilities of approaches to educational processes, demonstrating the importance of literacy intervention in non-school spaces, capable of overcoming methodologies beyond the textbooks, allowing liberating and libertarian knowledge.
