A formação de educadores na educação não formal pública

Abstract

The article deals with the discussion on non-formal Education currently in Brazil. The data were obtained from research developed by the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul concerning the Socio-Educational Support Program (Sase) and from empirical experiences reported in the Popular Educators' Association of Porto Alegre (Aeppa), which is an Institution for the formation of popular educators. The results demonstrate that the public socio-educational program uses a hybrid teaching-learning model between pedagogy and social assistance. However, gaps were found in the systematization and evaluation of the activities, as well as in the contents and formation of professionals involved in the program.
