Matemática na EJA : um estudo das perspectivas dos professores sobre o ensino da matemática.

Abstract

Youth and Adult Education is a teaching modality aimed at people who for some reason were not able to study at the right age, showing itself as a chance for these subjects to complete their studies. In this perspective, the teacher needs to develop a teaching methodology that considers the students' previous knowledge and also awakens in them the will to study, fighting the lack of interest and the dropout, the main difficulties found in EJA teaching. Thus, this work had the general objective of investigating the perceptions of teachers about the teaching of mathematics in Youth and Adult Education, in order to understand the paths and mishaps of everyday life in the classroom of this teaching modality. And as specific objectives: a) To outline a profile of the teachers of YA who work in the school where the research was carried out, and their conceptions about this teaching modality; b) To understand their pedagogical proposal, highlighting their planning and teaching strategies; and c) To find out the main difficulties faced by the Mathematics teachers in YA. The theoretical framework that supported this work is found in the current legislation, such as the LDB (Law no. 9.394/96), the Federal Constitution (1988), Parecer CNE/CEB nº11/2000, the Curricular Proposal for Youth and Adult Education (2002), and works by authors such as Fonseca (2009), Santos and Oliveira (2015), and Freire (1996), among others. The methodology employed in this study was qualitative and exploratory in nature, carried out through a field research with teachers who teach in EJA in the city of Itapororoca - PB. A questionnaire was elaborated for the teachers participating in this research, applied during the months of July to August 2022. As a result, it was realized that the teaching pathway in EJA needs to be developed through contextualized and interdisciplinary learning, and the obstacles encountered by teachers are in the demotivation on the part of students and school dropout.
