As methodological procedures, and availing myself of primary sources documents and some few records, in which including the study units, these material prints with the purpose of developing the themes dealt with during the Course I developed concept maps of each study unit, producing a dialogue about the content addressed, principles and conceptions of continuing education brought by the document of political and pedagogical guidelines that guided the Project and the field actions of the institution, conceived for that specific historical spacetime. I seized and apprehended them in the effort of analyzing teaching-learning (present in the Course) content, orientations and methodologies, considering that these conceptions and guiding directions of teachers acting in YAE s continuing educations are still alive and fighting in the disputes for formation, in the present moment
