This study investigates the continuing education and pedagogical practices of teachers in Youth and Adult Education (EJA). It is guided by the question: How can formative-collaborative approaches among teachers promote the production and democratization of knowledge in EJA and meet the learning needs of both teachers and students? Situated within the context of the Professional master’s in professional and Technological Education (ProfEPT), it aims to analyze the impact of these approaches on EJA. Using a mixed methodology (Mattar; Ramos, 2021), workshops and semi-structured questionnaires were applied, allowing for a detailed analysis of teachers' perceptions and learning needs. Discursive Textual Analysis (Moraes; Galiazzi, 2020) was employed to analyze the discourses and practices. The theoretical discussion is supported by Moura (2023), Silva (2023, 2022), and Freire (2019). The findings point to the possibility of creating meaningful educational environments focused on teacher training and practice, identifying gaps in formative practices and areas needing intervention to promote quality teaching.
