Abstract

This dissertation is part of the discussions about the quota politics implemented in the public universities, in articulation with the young and adults Education ambit, both understood in this dissertation as affirmative action policy, understood on the prism of the reparation. In this perspective, the main objective of the research was to analyze the senses about university of students graduated in the in EJA (Young and Adults Education) modality that have entered in the higher education through the quota policy. To do this search, was necessary to refer to the debate on affirmative action policies that were implemented in public universities, considering actions for expansion and democratization of the access, as well to problematize aspects of terminality inserted in EJA modality. The research addresses the role of education and its possibilities to contribute to the reflection about the character of the class education in relation with the young and adults workers education. Taking as a parameter the democratization of the right to the education and with the central question unfolding, we define the empirical field of the research, the Teacher Education University, being this the largest academic unit of the State University of Rio de Janeiro (FFP/UERJ) outside from the Maracanã Campus. From a theoretical and methodological point of view, we assure our analyzes in dialogue with the critical theory authors and we used to that some of the authors below: Karl Marx, Antônio Gramsci, Edward Palmer Thompson, Ellen Wood, István Mészaros, Virgínia Fontes, Paulo Freire, Florestan Fernandes, Marilena Chauí, Demerval Saviani, and another authors that guided the debate. The empirical corpus of the research was organized from two methodological procedures articulated. Initially we proceed to the collected informations and statistical data of the subject studied and we outline, from bibliographic and documentaries surveys of the instituction referenced, the FFP/UERJ quota Students profile and of the students graduated in the EJA. After searching and found the effectiveness of the existence of this students in FFP, we set out to the interviews, the last step of the methodological procedures, to we get the senses produced about university for this people and how the policy helped them to arrive in the public university. In our provisional findings, was possible to mark the incipience of studies that articulate the theme that led to the construction of the research problem, justifying the relevance of the dissertation for the education public policy education ambit. We also consider in our conclusions that, still, is significantly small the amount of studants graduates from EJA in the university, mainly those that enter through different quotas modalities. In the same way that was reinforced, after the interviews with the graduates, the understanding that the educational training for young and adults still focused on meeting the Capital needs, from the perspective of preparing for the job market, in a precariously way.
