Trajetórias para o acesso e permanência à Licenciatura em Biologia da UFRB: narrativas autobiográficas de uma egressa da educação de jovens e adultos

Abstract

This research is an autobiographical study of a graduate of Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA), who enters in a public university in Recôncavo of Bahia. Its objective is to understand the limitations and challenges in entry and permanency of an EJA graduate in the Licentiate Degree in Biology course at Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFRB), in which it seeks to highlight the difficulties of access and the possibilities of permanence, through overcoming, the deconstruction of prejudices and the construction of identities. This is a qualitative research, considering the author's autobiographical narratives. These deal with the life history of a graduate of EJA from the period of schooling that comprises the formative time III – axes 6 and 7, until her entry and permanence in the Biology course as a Biology student. The dialogue with authors such as Arroyo (2017), Krainski (2014), Lopes and Souza (2005), Silva (2015), Haddad and Pierro (2000), among others, EJA and the journey towards a degree are unveiled from the experiences of the researcher-author of the text. In this context, these writings intend to contribute to the recognition of the importance of EJA for many people to go back to school, since, for several reasons, had to leave school, at the same time that it presents the possibilities of continuing the formative trajectory, without disregarding the difficulties faced by an EJA graduate who becomes a teacher, attending and concluding her Biology course at a federal public university.
