Modelagem matemática na educação de jovens e adultos

Abstract

Searching for more appropriate ways to approach mathematics at different levels and modalities of teaching has been a permanent objective in the academic formation and performance of mathematics teachers. This work presents a study about Mathematical Modeling as a teaching strategy and possibilities for its use in Youth and Adult Education. After a bibliographic research and a reflexive analysis of the author’s experiences in the classroom during the mandatory supervised internship, three teaching activities oriented by mathematical modeling with emphasis on the educational and sociocritical perspectives of this methodological tendency are proposed. Through these proposals, it is possible to promote a mathematics teaching that is consistent with the demands of Youth and Adult Education, which are generally different from the needs of regular education students, besides, it favors the formation of a teacher able to build his own practice with elements of creativity and social commitment.
