BARREIRAS DA EDUCAÇÃO DE JOVENS E ADULTOS NA CONTEMPORANEIDADE: vencendo o analfabetismo digital por meio de jogos digitais

Abstract

Through bibliographic research, the objective of this article is to identify digital illiteracy as one of the main barriers of EJA and propose the use of digital games as an innovative and active methodology for such eradication. The choice of this research theme is justified, because EJA aims to prepare its subjects for life, giving the minimum knowledge to students aiming at the job market; and today, when technology is used in education, a process of social inclusion is built. It is known that in any educational process of young people and adults, regardless of the level of education, there is a triad relationship: curriculum, society and work. Thus, the curriculum should not only be summarized in a list of contents and they must be centered in the context, providing experiences and knowledge demanded by the context in which the students are inserted, in which digital inclusion (literacy) is a connection between their educational processes. and the work. It is concluded that digital games are tools for the teaching-learning process, and should be used and explored by teachers frequently, as they will serve as motivational tools for the effectiveness and success of pleasant learning in EJA.
