MÉTODO DE ALFABETIZAÇÃO EM PAULO FREIRE NO ESTÁGIO DE EDUCAÇÃO DE JOVENS, ADULTOS E IDOSOS

ABSTRACT This article aims to reflect on the literacy process based on Paulo Freire's epistemological perspective and his political-emancipatory method, as well as contextualizing the Paulo Freire “method” according to the proposal made with students in training and their illiterate or poorly educated family members, experienced as a reinterpretation of the forty hours in Angicos. The theoretical support used is based, especially, on the contributions of Paulo Freire, Brandão, Lyra, among others. In the methodological scope, this is a qualitative participant-type research, with data production through observation, recording in a field diary, and analysis of documents (reports). The results point to Paulo Freire's valuable literacy method and how it proves to be current, constituting the basis of the literacy process of the working class. Furthermore, the data reveals the importance of Paulo Freire's legacy and the need for its constant reinvention, as proposed by the author himself.
