Multigrade Schools. Mathematics Teaching. Science Teaching. Ji-Paraná/RO.

The present research is situated in the field of History of Education, particularly focusing on the History of Mathematics Education. Its aim is to analyze how the teaching and learning of mathematics and sciences occurred in multigrade schools in the municipality of Ji-Paraná between 1977 and 2006. The temporal scope begins in 1977, the year of Ji-Paraná-RO municipality's establishment, and ends in 2006 with the issuance of decree nº 10,302/2006, which established the creation of Polos Schools, leading to the extinction of these multigrade schools in the municipality. In this regard, this dissertation addresses the following guiding questions: How did the teaching and learning of Mathematics and sciences unfold in multigrade schools in Ji-Paraná between 1977 and 2006? How did teaching configure in this space and what practices were developed in this context? The research draws theoretical-methodological support primarily from scholars Bloch (2001), Le Goff (1992), and Ginzburg (1989). Methodologically, the research is exploratory in nature and unfolds through documentary research and semi-structured interviews with teachers, former students, and others from rural areas who worked or studied in multigrade schools at the time. The research revealed the scarcity of resources for teaching and learning in multigrade schools in Ji-Paraná, prompting teachers to adopt creative adaptations and improvisations in the teaching of Mathematics and sciences. Furthermore, the research contributes to preserving the memories of these teachers and students, enriching the Brazilian educational heritage.
