Teaching in the EJA in the face of the specificities of the students

The purpose of the research that led to this book was to understand what view and images EJA teachers have/construct about the school trajectories of their students and whether or not they re-signify their pedagogical practices based on this view. Specifically we investigated the treatment given to the students and similarly to the curriculum content as well as possible attempts to reconstruct educational practice based on the peculiarities brought by young people and adults. The data from the investigation shows a change in the conceptions once held about students that they are people 'who don't want anything to do with life'. However this has not led to changes in the treatment of content which in turn continues to be taught with a configuration alluding to other teaching practices notably those of the early years of primary school. On the other hand in terms of the macrostructural issues of pedagogical practice there was a climate of intense intertwining so that the teachers were aware of the students' trajectories and the students found their pedagogical approach pleasant.
