Educação matemática com educandos privados de liberdade: Um trabalho com a metodologia resolução e exploração de problemas

Abstract

The research presented in the pages ahead is a narrative in five chapters that begins with the experiences of the author, portrayed in two moments in chapter two, up to students without freedom, in chapter four, and to work with them with the methodology of resolution-exploration problems. The decision for young and adult prisoners came up with the approach of readings of mathematics education area as the experiments with the Public Defender Union in Campina Grande, in chapter three. In qualitative researches with narrative, past and present, as a source of future prospects, become starting points. This way, we could have the starting points of the chapters four and five, with the prospect of viewing the focus of the research (problem of exploration) and formulate narrative units, respectively. From the units, a base of the research objective appears, which is to realize the resolution-exploration methodology problem in the class of students depraved from freedom. Chapter five formulates a total of seven narrative units of eleven classes in the prison area; the units redirected the research in a way back. Thus, the experiences recounted in the classroom have been referred to earlier chapters, a process that allows a new look, of course, with new discoveries. We highlight, among these, one of the areas of prison education "education for all throughout life whatever their life is," and the term of resolution to this problem in different areas, and apparently far from mathematics education, including the diversity of term problem in the very area from which it emerges. Conclusions, results and contributions of the work with the resolution-exploration problem, purpose of the research, are noticeable in the syntheses of each narrative unit. Besides that, the resolution- exploration problem shows up as a fundamental connection between the social historical context, of the classroom, and to the narrated scenic.
