THE MATHEMATICAL KNOWLEDGE PROFILE OF STUDENTS IN THE 9TH GRADE OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN A MUNICIPAL SCHOOL IN FLORIANO-PI: AN ANALYSIS OF THE SAEPI TEST

Abstract

The current educational context has in the teaching of mathematics the main challenges that culminate in the barriers to scientific and technological development, as well as the difficulties of full exercise of citizenship by society. From this perspective, the analysis of the results of evaluation systems is a necessary condition for the planning and execution of public policies to improve educational results in mathematics. Thus, this work has as its general objective to analyze the main results of the Basic Education Evaluation System (SAEPI), for the distribution of the averages obtained in Mathematics by the students of the 9th grade of Elementary School of a given school in the city of Floriano-PI. In order to analyze the performance of students in the assessment in the year 2023, the methodological path was marked by a quantitative research that was based on the mathematics proficiency scale, with parameters for describing skills and competencies to be developed by the student in line with the age/grade articulation under the terms of the national curriculum guidelines for basic education. The research showed that there is a significant improvement in students' skills and abilities with regard to some mathematics concepts, however, a long way is still needed to solve problems and challenges that still persist in mathematics teaching.
