Diseño de una propuesta para jóvenes y adolescentes privados de la libertad haciendo uso de la educación matemática crítica

Abstract

This project addresses the importance of education as a fundamental right, and the role of mathematics as a tool for social transformation, particularly in the context of juveniles and teenagers deprived of their liberty. The goal is to propose guidelines for developing educational initiatives that support the learning process of these individuals from the perspective of critical mathematical education. To achieve this, a theoretical framework is established, which includes the knowledge areas of mathematics, technology, and reflection as proposed by Skovsmose; learning environments and their dimensions in critical mathematical education; and mathematical modeling from a socio-critical perspective. The methodology used is qualitative research, acknowledging its characteristics and approaches. In this regard, the study gathers information through a review of specialized literature on education proposals for incarcerated youth, supplemented by a semi-structured interview with an expert in the field. Finally, the research suggests that future educational initiatives for this population should recognize the laws that guarantee the right to education for incarcerated youth, along with various other considerations that will be discussed later.
