SUMMARY:

This research has as its observation setting the Edson Luís Popular ENEM
Preparation Center, a project idealized by Levante Popular da Juventude, a social
movement that organizes the Brazilian youth, and the extension division of the
Universidade Federal de São João del Rei, Minas Gerais. This research aims to
understand how Popular Education formative experiences contribute to constructing
a transforming political-pedagogical praxis for the center's educators. Therefore, we
seek to interpret what meanings they attribute to their condition as educators and
how they signify their political-pedagogical praxis in the formative movement they
collectively build. We apply a qualitative methodology guided by participant
observation, in which the research setting is part of the daily construction of the
researcher's life. Moreover, the observed collective elaborated parts of the analyzed
data a priori and during the investigation, not only as part of the methodology applied
to conduct this research. Thus, we analyzed what the educators say about their
formative experiences at the Edson Luís Popular ENEM Preparation Center based
on documents, questionnaires, focus groups, and experience reports. Seeking to
dialogue with the plurality of discourses that arise from the investigative context, we
propose using Paulo Freire as a theoretical-methodological reference, given the
dialogic perspective of his pedagogy. To deepen this matter, Michail Bakhtin helps us
establish relationships with otherness, a fundamental concept for genuine dialogue
construction. For both authors, dialogue and discourse constitute the arena where
clashes and contradictions are expressed, allowing the construction of knowledge
dialogically. Considering these two authors and the praxis that guides social
movements, we have analyzed the statements with respect to four
categories: subjects, training, work organization, and fight. The first allows an
understanding of the elements that embody the socioeconomic, formative, and
subjective profiles of the Popular Educators that construct the Edson Luís Popular
ENEM Preparation Center. The other three discuss how the educators signify the
political-pedagogical praxis that fundament the center's actions. These four
categories helped us observe how educators experience and develop themselves
from the perspective of Popular Education, how they organize their pedagogical
work, and how they signify the fight dimension. Our analysis shows that the Edson
Luís Popular ENEM Preparation Center has been propositive for reflections on the
educator's training in the Brazilian context. The center also provided a political and
social awakening for the educators and their role in social transformation under the
principles of Popular Education, giving meaning and experiencing Freire's praxis. In
addition, our analysis allows us to affirm the vital relationship between Popular
Education, Social Movement, and University Extension; and how we should explore
this triad as a possible path for training educators committed to the causes of the
people.
