Matemática financeira e tecnologia: espaços para o desenvolvimento da capacidade crítica dos educandos da educação de jovens e adultos

Abstract

This work is the reflections result on the questions about everyday life of a classroom of young and adult students. The mathematics course does not require exclusively working explicit content, contemplating "settle" and "calculate". The intention is to provide students, in addition to bring in relevant content to the discipline, but also the emergence, in reflective nature. A student will be able to seize his knowledge from the school and the world in order to speculate on possible paths indecision making. Faced with the intention of incorporating critical debate of nature classes, we take the prerogative, the characteristics of Critical Mathematics Education, Ole Skovsmose, which consequently cause reflections of social; faces issues related to citizenship, described in the works of José Nilson Machado. The research was conducted in a public state school in Miguel Pereira/RJ, whose pre test occurred in a class of 9th grade of elementary school and the post-test, applied in the 3rd year of high school, both in the form Education of Youth and Adults-EJA. In order to unite the aspects of criticality and citizenship were incorporated technological tools-calculator and computer-as means of intending digital inclusion, and in parallel, as a tool helper before making decisions. Given the scarcity of materials intended for EJA public, is under editorial and through publications in academic, forced us to plan lessons as well as material intended for this type of education. The activities implemented both pretest and post-test have become educational product, which did this work.
