O ensino e a aprendizagem de geometria por meio de uma sequência didática para a educação de jovens e adultos

Abstract

This research aims to elaborate a didactic sequence about geometry for Adult Education students. For such, we made a brief history about Adult Education from the empire era in Brazil up to today and we described, briefly, the trajectory of geometry teaching on the XX and XXI centuries. Thus, we have as a research question “How to elaborate a didactic sequence in geometry for Adult Education?” And, as specific objectives, to elaborate a proposal for a didactic sequence about triangles for Adult Education students and to contribute to the discussions about geometry teaching on this modality. On this, we propose a didactic sequence to teach geometry of the triangles, addressing its characteristics and properties. This research is qualitative in nature, and the collection of data to obtain information, to reference the elaboration of the sequence, was done through a questionnaire that took place in the state of Rio de Janeiro, in the city of Três Rios, at a state school on the 3rd shift, that is, at night, on a High School Adult Education class. As an educational product we presented a manual that contains the activities elaborated in the didactic sequence and guidelines for teachers to develop them.
