• Abstract:

  This article addresses the teaching modality Youth and Adult Education (EJA), which is where those citizens who had their right to education in regular time denied by various factors and that this denial was reaffirmed during the pandemic where many of the students did not have an electronic device suitable for following remote classes, even with all these difficulties, these students are looking for a new chance to complete their studies and continue fighting for improvements in their lives. The research addressed the theme “electricity” focused on everyday objects for these people, so that they could understand and identify substances that could conduct electrical charges and eventually cause an accident. The study was divided into two stages, the first was a questionnaire so that we could draw a profile of these students along with the level of education they have, their motivations and reasons for leaving school in the past, later experiments were carried out in the classroom. with domestic products that aimed to demonstrate that simple everyday things can conduct electricity and test the knowledge they carry with them (common sense). Finally, those who are older or who work or have worked in heavy work or civil construction have a certain amount of knowledge that enabled them to interact and risk answers that were sometimes correct. It is concluded that the pandemic caused a setback in the educational process of these students, but the everyday knowledge that they acquired throughout their lives is extremely valuable, being able to answer the questions listed during the research, even if they did not know the scientific answer.
