Abstract

This essay is the result of reflections over a scientific introduction project about mediation on the pedagogical practice to the Youth and Adults Education (Ed‑ucação de Jovens e Adultos – EJA), with emphasis to the teaching and learning process of this tool. It is established as a basis to reflection on the proposal of the category mediation to the role it plays on knowledge, having as a limit sit‑uation the EJA vision to the inclusive education. The project, which is in its first phase, aims to continue the doctors project presented at Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (Unisinos ‑RS). It concerns to teaching and learning issues and the mediation nature found in the relation between systematic learning in the natural and social sciences and the one developed by the students in their daily routine. This is a qualitative research in which a theoretical revision is developed through empirical observations in EJA schools that belongs to a municipal public schools network in Erechim (RS), Brazil, focused on Elementary School. For data analysis and interpretation a hermeneutic ‑dialectic perspective is recovered for considering that, under this perspective, it is possible to comprehend the practical and historical dimensions in which the mediations are developed. As theoretical framework, is employed initial readings that have marked the historical and meth‑odological understanding of mediation category, which were based on Marxist dialectics related to frameworks that approaches this category in the Education field. Above all, the Freire’s oeuvre support this project.
