Neste artigo s�o apresentados e discutidos os resultados de um estudo desenvolvido com a finalidade de investigar as contribui��es do Educar pela Pesquisa para a reconstru��o do conhecimento dos alunos da Educa��o de Jovens e Adultos. As situa��es de ensino propostas foram planejadas considerando a pesquisa como princ�pio educativo e seus momentos de questionamento, constru��o de argumentos e comunica��o. Nesse processo, partiu-se de uma situa��o-problema envolvendo uma zoonose como elemento desencadeador. Como instrumentos de coleta de dados foram utilizados question�rios � inicial e final �, grava��es em �udio, di�rio de campo da pesquisadora, al�m das produ��es dos alunos durante a sequ�ncia de aulas desenvolvidas. As informa��es obtidas foram submetidas � An�lise Textual Discursiva. Os dados coletados fizeram emergir tr�s categorias que evidenciaram as contribui��es privilegiadas pela abordagem pedag�gica. A primeira categoria, O despertar dos conte�dos atitudinais, apontou a necessidade de aten��o � dimens�o afetiva como pr�-requisito aos processos de ensino e de aprendizagem, em especial na Educa��o de Jovens e Adultos. A segunda, denominada A complexifica��o dos conte�dos conceituais, analisou a evolu��o dos conceitos ao longo da sequ�ncia de aulas planejadas, quando se percebeu a incorpora��o de novas informa��es �s ideias pr�vias dos alunos, levando-os a compreens�es mais amplas sobre o tema enfocado. A qualifica��o dos conte�dos procedimentais constituiu a terceira e �ltima categoria advinda da an�lise realizada, e nela identificaram-se habilidades desenvolvidas durante os encontros propostos, das mais b�sicas �s mais estruturadas, dentre as quais se destacaram a de comunicar-se (questionar e argumentar), pesquisar, produzir material educativo e sistematizar informa��es.
In this article are presented and discussed the results of a study conducted in order to investigate the contributions of Educating through Research for the reconstruction of the knowledge of the students of the Youth and Adults Education. The teaching situations proposed were planned considering research as an educational principle and its moments of questioning, development of arguments and communication. The process started from a problem situation involving zoonosis. As instruments to collect data were used: questionnaires - initial and final - audio recordings, the researchers field journal, in addition to productions of students during the sequence of lessons developed. The data obtained went through a Discursive Textual Analysis. This qualitative analysis revealed three categories that highlight the contributions favored by pedagogical change. The first category The awaking of the attitude contents pointed out the necessity of attention to the affection dimension as a prerequisite to the processes of teaching and learning, especially on youth and adult education. The second, called The complexification of the conceptual contents analyzed the evolution of the concepts during the sequence of the planned classes when it was realized the incorporation of new information in the previous ideas of students leading to broad understanding on the main subject. The description of the procedural content was the third and final category arising from the analysis, in which were identified skills developed during the proposed meetings, from the most basic to the most structured, among which the communication (question and debate) stood out , researching, producing educational material and systematize information.
