O ensino da Porcentagem por meio da Resolução de Problemas na Educação de Jovens e Adultos da Escola Municipal Rural Maria Eduarda dos Santos.

Abstract

Youth and Adult Education often does not receive the attention necessary, which provides an adequate knowledge environment for students so they can get better learning. In this sense, the Brazilian Yearbook of Basic Education 2020, which is consisting of data from the Ministry of Education (MEC), National Institute of Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira (Inep) and others, points out that the Youth and Adult Education in the country is still experiencing problems such as the drop in enrollment in the EJA of Fundamental Level that had a decline during the last 10 years (CRUZ, 2020). In view of this, this scenario needs to change, since the state has the duty to develop appropriate public policies for this modality, which is composed of workers, mothers and fathers who seek a better future for their family. That is, these students need extra attention, since, many arrive tired at home and later exhausted in class. Such factors influence students' learning, especially in disciplines that require a little more attention, such as mathematics, being considered by many to be a difficult discipline to understand. In this sense, in order to facilitate student learning, emerging new teaching methodologies in mathematics, as an example of this, we quote: Information and Communication Technology - ICTs, Ethnomathematics, Transversality, Interdisciplinarity and Problem Solving among others. Therefore, these can be worked in a way linked to the contents mathematics, such as the percentage, where students demonstrate difficulties in assimilate such a theme. In this sense, it can be thought that teaching Percentage through the Problem Solving, can be an alternative capable of generating learning significant. In fact, since problem solving is a topic that 10 needs students to be well focused, it is necessary that the teacher provide differentiated classes for the student to succeed in solving situations proposed to them. In view of the above, we can ask the following question: What are the contributions of Problem Solving in the learning of Education students of Youth and Adults regarding the content Percentage?
