Abstract

This study aims to analyze the construction of autonomy, life trajectories and the work, as well as the knowledge of self-employed workers and students of Adult and Adolescents Education (EJA) of Colégio de Aplicação from UFRGS. The study also tries to find reasons that made these individuals return to school. The data collecting was done through questions and a semi structured interview. The obtained results were: a) the reasons for returning to school were knowledge, personal improvement and job upward; b) the autonomy is relative to work conditions and decision making; c) the trajectories were fragmented throughout child labor and school exclusion; d) the knowledge experience is constituted by the observation, daily relationships and by the autonomously search for information and knowledge.
