Inventário das políticas públicas de educação de jovens e adultos em Angra do Reis 1989-2000

Abstract

The present work seeks to understand, through cartography as a tool for data collection and understanding, the principles, conceptions and proposals developed as public policies aimed at the care of youth and adult education in the municipality of Angra dos Reis, during the period 1989-2000. We adopt the policy cycle approach (BOWE, BALL, GOLD, 1992; BALL, 1994) as a reference for the study and analysis of the formulation of social and educational policies, because it is not static theoretical-analytical material, but dynamic and flexible. The central questions of the research were based on the following questions: how can public educational, youth and adult education policies be understood, specifically in the municipality of Angra dos Reis, between 1989-2000, in the context of the re-democratization of the country, when principles such as access to the right to education, quality of education and democratic management were the pillars of the 1988 Constitution? How were these principles expressed among scholars who revealed experiences and memories of authors and interlocutors visited by these authors? How do studies already carried out and the methodological approach presented help to build a historical outline of the public policies for EJA developed during the Workers Party (PT) governments in AngradosReis? To answer these fundamental questions, the investigation of the documental memory and of academic studies about EJA in Angra dos Reis, brought out the popular appreciation and participation in the decision making processes with the governmental structure. The research treats and understands these cited findings, mapping concepts, spaces, times, territories and conceptions developed by the public power, with the involvement of municipalities, in order to feed the understanding of the collected collection and to critically register the accomplished history, so as to serve as another source of consultation and subsidy to researchers, teachers and students of EJA.
