EJA; Chemistry teaching; Generator themes

Youth and Adult Education (EJA), with the generating themes, are fundamental for the promotion of meaningful learning and for the construction of knowledge based on the reality of students. In this sense, this dissertation proposed understanding about the use of the generating theme “cheese production”, as a point of improvement in the teaching and learning of Chemistry. The study was initially carried out with 20 students of the first year of EJA high school from a state school, located in the municipality of Itapuã do Oeste/RO. Pre-test and post-test were carried out to verify the students' learning, being submitted to a qualitative analysis. The research showed that the methodology used favored the construction of content learning, enabling involvement and interest in the classes. The 17 students who reached the end of the research participated assiduously in the research, performed well in the activities, and showed interest in the course of all stages. With the results found, we found that through the use of the generating theme "cheese production", it is possible to approach the Chemistry content in a diversified way and linked to the students' daily life, in order to achieve a better learning experience.
