IMPACTOS DO ABANDONO E DA EVASÃO ESCOLAR NO ENSINO - APRENDIZAGEM, SOBRE A LUZ DA APRENDIZAGEM SIGNIFICATIVA

Abstract

School dropout/evasion in Brazil are problems that directly affect the country's social and economic development and are associated with factors such as financial difficulties, lack of motivation, and the lack of connection between what is learned at school and outside of it. From the perspective of meaningful learning, with the aim of helping the learner to have the desire to learn school content, it was decided to highlight the value of this learning in their lives based on the exploration, among other aspects, of personal experiences acquired outside of school. Thus, an extension course was carried out aiming to transform the teaching practice of some undergraduate mathematics students, showing that school teaching goes beyond teaching content, therefore, this study is situated among qualitative research of the action research type. It was observed that the intervention, in addition to raising awareness about the causes and consequences of school dropout/dropout, allowed understanding the need to create effective strategies to combat them.
