Abstract

The Youth and Adult Education is a type of education offered to people for many reasons had to drop out of school when they were due age. In order to leverage the inclusion of youth and adults in schools, the government created the AE that beyond basic training provides technical training to students. At the Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de Goiás, unit Itumbiara, is offered the course AE in Agribusiness. The inaugural class began in the first half of 2013, and for being the first course offered in this mode, the institution needs subsidies to attract public attention and meet the needs of students, since the course has a high dropout rate. To contribute a significant chemical education , was produced educational material of Organic Chemistry contextualized to Agribusiness , for the analysis of the current project, the Organic Chemistry contents were not covered by Chemistry disciplines and Applied General Chemistry I provided for in curriculum current . To evaluate the teaching materials were prepared two lessons, the first without the use of educational materials developed, which was named Class Traditional, and the second using the courseware developed, which was named Class Contextual. Through semi-structured interviews in which students rated on a scale of one to five classes, it was verified using the Wilcoxon test , no statistically significant difference in the quality and ease of understanding of the Traditional and Contextual classes. However, it is clear the need for educational materials contextualized, considering that the students could not relate the content studied in Organic Chemistry with issues in the area of agribusiness, such as dyes, additives, biofuels, pesticides among others.
