O desempenho escolar em matemática entre estudantes migrantes e não migrantes do ensino médio no IFPI Campus Cocal

Abstract

This research analyzes the academic performance in Mathematics among migrant and non-migrant high school students at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Piauí (IFPI), Cocal Campus. The study investigates whether the process of migration or commuting influences academic performance in the subject. The research adopted a qualitative-quantitative approach, with the participation of 20 students, 10 of whom were migrants from the municipality of Caraúbas do Piauí and 10 non-migrants residing in Cocal. Data were collected through an online questionnaire containing open-ended questions about commuting routines, school experiences, and difficulties in Mathematics. The results indicated that migrant students reported a higher incidence of difficulties in the subject, mainly associated with daily commuting, fatigue, and differences in previous educational trajectories. The findings reinforce the importance of institutional strategies for monitoring and providing pedagogical support to students who commute to study
