Memorial (auto)biográfico: reflexões de vida e formação aos 60 anos

Abstract

This course completion work (TCC) presents an autobiographical study that narrates the trajectory of an academic who entered the Human Sciences - Bachelor's degree at the age of 56, highlighting the challenges and achievements until the age of 60. Starting from the perspective of education as a continuous and transformative process, the work seeks to problematize stigmas related to aging in the academic context, highlighting the importance of continuing education and active aging. Through the elaboration of an (auto)biographical memorial, the study revisits important moments in the author's life, covering everything from the personal and family events that influenced his decision to join the university to the formative experiences of the course. The research analyzes aspects such as the participation of PIBID, Pedagogical Residency, and internship. The methodological approach is based on (auto)biographical research, highlighting the use of the memorial as a reflective and formative tool. This first-person narrative provides a space to revisit one's experiences, reinterpret meanings and share insights that help build a more inclusive society, where the right to education is recognized at all stages of life.
