Research about teaching of the mathematics to youth and adults with intellectual disabilities in the EJA

Abstract

For ages, Youth and Adults (EJA) is drawing a profile of its own, as this school is comprised of a diverse social, economic and cultural. Thus, it is up to schools to organize themselves, ensuring necessary conditions for access, retention and quality education to all. In this space, we highlight a new student body of EJA which has been expanding in recent censuses school: pupils who are part of the target audience of Special Education. We control for mathematics teaching for students with intellectual disabilities. The present study aimed to conduct a mapping of scientific production (theses and dissertations), focusing on the teaching of mathematics to young people and adults with intellectual disabilities in the EJA. We carried out the survey with the bank of theses and dissertations Capes, starting this search for descriptors that addressed specific mathematics teaching in adult education. Among the selected studies, few productions were found on this topic. To fill this gap, it is urgent, research aimed at the interface between Special Education and Education of Youth and Adults.
