A importância das operações básicas da matemática na modalidade da educação do campo na à educação de jovens e adultos

Abstract

The teaching of mathematics is fundamental in the school learning process. Based on this principle, the main objective of the study is to discuss the importance of basic mathematics operations from the context of rural school teachers and the specificities of Youth and Adult Education cycles I and II, in rural schools in the municipality of Salgado de São Félix – PB. To achieve this objective, we sought to identify the profile of EJA teachers, cycles I and II, and their contextualization in relation to the teaching of basic mathematics operations, aligned with Rural Education. The methodology addressed was exploratory in nature, of the action research type, with a proposal for qualitative data analysis. The research instruments used were questionnaires and structured interviews, carried out from February to March 2024. The work was organized in the following stages: profile survey with interviews and teaching methodological discussion. Based on the data obtained, some didactic activities were developed for discussion with a teacher from a participating institution. The results indicated that teachers do not use contextualized situations in teaching mathematics, do not use concrete materials as teaching resources in mathematics classes, and do not offer motivating situations that prioritize EJA students in a rural context. It is concluded, therefore, that continued training is necessary in the conceptual and methodological discussion of basic mathematics operations in the EJA modality, which favor discussions on Rural Education and prioritize people's reality, offering quality and meaningful teaching, capable of to reach young people and adults in rural school communities.
