A educação matemática na EJA: um estudo de casa na zona rural de São Miguel de Taipu

Abstract

This research focuses on mathematics education within the Youth and Adult Education (EJA) program, based on the author's personal experiences and direct contact with students returning to school after long periods of dropout. The main objective is to understand the challenges these students face in learning mathematics, exploring how their life stories influence their educational paths and which teaching methodologies can provide a more meaningful and contextualized learning experience. The study adopts a qualitative approach, using semi-structured interviews with EJA students from the municipality of São Miguel de Taipu. It aims to bridge theory and practice by reflecting on the role of the teacher, the obstacles to learning, and pedagogical strategies that contribute to a more humanized and effective educational process. The work is structured in five chapters, covering the initial motivations, theoretical framework, data analysis, and final considerations.
