Women; Youth and Adult Education; Higher Education; Distance Learning; Teacher Education.
This study aims to continue research involving students from the Youth and Adult
Education program (YAE), focusing specifically on women who entered higher education
in the Pedagogy program through distance learning (2018–2019) at the Federal Institute
of Education, Science and Technology of Goiás (IF Goiano), Campus Iporá. The study
seeks to answer what challenges and opportunities these women—graduates of EJA—
faced throughout their educational trajectories, as well as during their entry into higher
education in the Pedagogy program at IF Goiano. We are particularly interested in
identifying which students completed the Pedagogy course; which are currently working
in the field; which are still pursuing further studies; and what difficulties and solutions
were encountered in continuing their education. The specific objectives of this research
are: to analyze the students’ narratives concerning their life and educational histories
leading up to higher education; to examine the challenges, obstacles, and achievements
experienced in pursuing distance learning; and to identify the strategies these students
used to access, remain in, and complete the program. This is a qualitative study, grounded
in the theoretical frameworks of Pierre Bourdieu (2007), who addresses school failure,
and Bernard Lahire (2009), who discusses academic success. The methodology is based
on Jean-Claude Kaufmann’s (2013) comprehensive interview method. Data will be
collected through semi-structured questionnaires with audio recordings. Data
organization and analysis will be carried out using Bardin’s (1977) content analysis
approach, through which categories will be developed based on transcriptions of the audio
recordings.
