Resumo

This work aimed to analyze the presence of playfulness in the teaching and learning space of the Education for Young People and Adults program (EJA, in Portuguese) in ten public schools of Maceió, in the Brazilian state of Alagoas. Playfulness is presented as a methodological resource to the students of the EJA program to develop their expressiveness, acquire knowledge fully and satisfactorily in all its dimensions: cognitive, affective, interpersonal, autonomous, and critical of the world. This type of study corresponds to a social phenomenon, therefore qualifying as a qualitative investigation, with a phenomenological approach and epistemologically based on a case study. From the results, it is noted that playful activities are significant for self-expression and communication in the teaching and learning process of the Arts module. However, there is a lack of perspective in the understanding of the word “playfulness”, as well as better training for its effective applicability in the classroom, so that there is no distance from theory and practice, as it was reported by students in the research when they state that there is no playfulness in the educational process. The result of the investigation will help the municipal education department to promote, improve and encourage research scholars to act actively to serve as advocates of good experiences and positive relationships for the transformation of this form of teaching and the image of the EJA student.
