RETHINKING EJA STANDARDS IN LITERACY

EDUCATION IS NOT DEVELOPED ONLY IN SCHOOL ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract

Each person has their own learning time and this is a fact, one of the biggest difficulties in literating a child, or an EJA student, is respecting their time, their baggage and bringing real experiences that are assimilated to their daily lives, there is no point in starting introducing words into a child's life with things that aren't around them, that they don't even know what it's about. When a young person or adult begins their teaching and learning process, it is not only their knowledge that expands or their life color that changes a little bit, but their self-esteem rises, they consider themselves capable of breaking down barriers, great achievements, conquering their dreams, education not only opens doors, it opens unimaginable horizons for an adult. Those literate in basic education, with considerable regular education, the one where the child goes to daycare, then elementary school, already feel incredibly modified when they realize that they are reading, writing. Now let's see from the side of the person who didn’t have access to education, which throughout life felt undervalued by society and left aside, when this person begins to read, write, interpret, their world changes three times more, because a person who had no vision of how things could be different, the doors begin to open in their lives. People learn in different ways and in different environments, even in non-school environments. It is no use for an educator to apply just one concept hoping that everyone will learn, this will not happen. Because each one is a unique individual and has their own way of seeing and understanding the world and what is around them. In the literacy process, the teacher must take into account everything he observes in the student, so it is very important for the teacher to want and see the student as one, it is not always easy, because sometimes a room with 40 students, you can't meet each one individually, but of course you can see how that student finds it easier to learn, how that student arouses interest in what is being taught.
