LEARNING DIFFICULTIES AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH BUILDING LABOUR COMPETENCIES

Abstract

The complexity between labor and education generates a set of issues that cause us to consider education’s function as more than merely socializing or alphabetizing. It’s conducing to preparing the stage for debating the different curricular offerings—pros and cons that answer to today’s requirements in the working world.

From a global perspective, it’s necessary to recognize education as a facilitating or inhibiting conditioner for subjects to find their place in society. This issue reiterates itself at all educational levels; from young-adults seeking systematic education, to those that opt for informal systems as an opportunity to become integrated with the social main stream.

There are certain groups for which the benefits of education are indispensable requisites to access a dignifying life style. Therefore, it’s imperative to consider education as the enabler for such a style.

Inevitably, the fundamental concepts related to the construction of learning, must be considered. There will be questionings about the possibilities to learn or not that subjects may have. There will be searching for the links between learning difficulties, self learning capabilities and the full incorporation of subjects into the working world.

Through Paulo Freire’s concepts of immersion, emersion, and insertion, meaningfulness will be explored through educational projects that may facilitate the searching and finding of a place in the world and an answer.
