Contribuição das atividades contextualizadas de Matemática na formação em Educação Ambiental

Abstract

The present research was carried out with students of the 1st year of the Technical course in Agricultural Integrated to High School of the Federal Institute of Education Science and Technology Goiano Campus Iporá (IF Goiano), and sought to answer the following problem: “What contribution do the activities contextualized mathematics involving environmental education can collaborate for the critical-reflexive training of students? ”. The research proposal arose due to concerns about the socio-environmental situation in which the world has been experiencing recently, and because it is a cross-cutting theme, which should be inserted at all levels of education. Thus, the public of this research was selected because they are students of a technical course whose professional profile is the sustainable management of natural resources and food production. The research was developed in the second semester of 2019 in the form of a teaching project in the form of a study group. For the production of data, questionnaires, notebooks, audio of classes, photographs and contextualized activities were used, in addition to analyzes of the PPC of the Technical course in Agriculture and teaching plan of the subject of Mathematics. The research was designed as participatory research, characterized as qualitative, allowing an effective participation in the construction of knowledge and greater autonomy for all involved. The results show that the students were able to obtain a critical-reflexive view of human actions in the face of environmental problems (waste of water, disposal of solid waste, recycling and deforestation of the cerrado biome), in addition to finding more significance in studying mathematics, associating them to your reality.
