Razões que levam a rejeição da matemática: um estudo de caso em uma escola estadual em Santana do Ipanema – AL

Abstract

This work arose from the concerns related to the poor performance of learning by the ninth grade students of the Elementary School of a State Public School in the Municipality of Santana do Ipanema - AL. Thus, it is intended to know the possible reasons that lead to low school performance in this discipline. In a more specific way, it is proposed to know the opinions of the students about the methodology used by the teacher; analyze whether family involvement influences learning and how they perceive math in their training. In this perspective, some theorists such as Tatoo and Scapin (2009), D'Ambrosio (1986), Reis (2005), Souza and Andrade (2015), and normative references such as: PCN's (2001) and LDB, (1996). Thus, this is a case study, whose research was carried out in a state school from June to July 2017, having as sample 110 students of the ninth grade of Elementary School. For data collection, a semi-structured questionnaire was used, with quantitative and qualitative analysis. From this it was possible to conclude that the students know the importance of studying the Mathematics discipline and did not exclude it from its formation, however, what makes it difficult to understand is the methodology used by the teacher who, in a decontextualized way, hindering the appropriation of the concepts.
