EJA Curriculum:

cultural practices, the right to learn throughout life and ecology of knowledge

Abstract

The research aspects discussed here, developed in the Procad Casadinho Project along with the issues of continuing education and cultural practices of subaltern populations - public education of young people and adults – and underlying knowledge from the perspective of the knowledge ecology, are hereby considered in conjunction with curriculum. It is based on the concept that learning throughout life is a right, articulating cultural production and curricular reflection on networks of knowledge and values. It is structured in the field of curriculum and school's daily life studies and presents, as learning process, the idea that collective way of producing knowledge has provoked a  possible displacement of the notion that "the theory is more knowledge than the practice" that presides over curriculum's organization, ignoring somehow social and cultural practices. Overcomes  the disqualification of everyday knowledge compared to formal knowledge and the scientism understanding of curriculum, taking it as a daily creation produced by multiple and unique processes.
