O ensino de matemática na educação de jovens e adultos: um estudo em duas escolas da rede estadual de Pernambuco

Abstract

The present research aims to reflect on the teaching and learning process of mathematics, considering the context and previous knowledge of the students of Youth and Adult Education (EJA). Fonseca (2012), D 'Ambrósio (1990, 2005), among other authors and official documents, were used as the theoretical basis. The research was carried out with 5 teachers from two schools of the state education network of a city in the interior of Pernambuco, who work or have already worked with the EJA modality. The research methodology was classified as descriptive using a qualitative and quantitative approach. For this we use as a research instrument a questionnaire with closed and open questions. The profiles of the teachers studied were: all were male; below 51 years of age; with at least graduation and a relative amount of experience. The result of the study showed the greater need for investment in the initial and continuing training of mathematics teachers to work in the EJA, which did not make it impossible for the interviewed teachers to show sensitivity to develop a teaching and learning process considering and valuing the previous knowledge of the during class.
