O ensino da geometria plana na educação de jovens e adultos: possibilidades e desafios

Abstract

This Final Paper focuses on the teaching of mathematics in Youth and Adult Education (EJA), emphasizing the application of plane geometry as a practical and meaningful pedagogical tool. EJA is an educational modality that serves young people and adults who have not completed basic education at the appropriate age, offering them an opportunity for social inclusion, as well as personal and professional development. In this context, the teaching of mathematics assumes specific characteristics, requiring the adaptation of content and methodologies to meet the needs and previous experiences of students. This study analyzes the main techniques and didactic tools used in EJA, as well as the challenges students face when learning specific topics in plane geometry, such as area and perimeter calculation. The research has a qualitative approach and is based on bibliographic research, using theoretical references previously analyzed and published in books, scientific articles, and electronic sources. The data collected were selected according to their relevance to the discussed topic. The results indicate that a pedagogical approach suited to the EJA audience can contribute to improving the understanding of geometric concepts and promote more effective learning. It is concluded that the teaching of plane geometry in EJA, when structured considering the particularities of students, fosters their critical and autonomous development while encouraging their social inclusion and empowerment.
