Dificuldades no Ensino de História para alunos da EJA: um relato de experiência

Abstract

This experience report aims to describe the challenges and potential of teaching History to students in Youth and Adult Education (EJA) in the municipality of Carauari. The research seeks to adapt pedagogical practices to meet the specific needs of this population. The methodology used was qualitative, with the application of a structured questionnaire to 74 students distributed across three EJA classes. The questions addressed the difficulties encountered in learning History and suggestions for improving teaching methodologies. The results indicated that the main challenges faced by students include the complexity of the content, reading difficulties, and the lack of connection between the content and their experiences. Suggestions for improvement highlighted the importance of using audiovisual resources and interactive methodologies, such as debates and practical activities. It is concluded that, to effectively meet the needs of EJA students, it is necessary to adopt more dynamic methodologies integrated with the students' reality, promoting more meaningful and accessible teaching.
