Youth and Adult Education (EJA) plays a fundamental role in promoting equal opportunities and combating illiteracy, as well as enabling and emphasizing concepts for basic mathematics learning. The implementation of innovative methodologies with a variety of visual and auditory resources is an alternative that can further strengthen students' probabilistic and statistical skills in the development of pedagogical practice. The general aim of this study is to analyze how a didactic sequence using video cases can contribute to learning about the construction, interpretation and comparison of statistical data with EJA students. To this end, the theoretical and scientific assumptions that support this discussion are based on studies on scientific methodology (Almeida; Valente, 2011; Braga, 2022; Creswell, 2010; Ferrés, 1996). The research is characterized as qualitative/quantitative, exploratory in nature, since it examines the object of study in its social context, using questionnaires, tests, focus group interviews, analysis of audiovisual resources and a logbook to collect data. The research method used was action research, since the intervention process was carried out by applying the didactic sequence using video cases and the joint participation of the researcher and the students. The field research was carried out in a state public school, located in the urban area of the municipality of Ceará-Mirim–RN, with a 1st grade high school class from EJA. The choice of the research locus arose from the need to build an innovative practice in mathematics classes through videos with themes that address the thematic units statistics and probability, considering that I have been a teacher at this institution for years. The educational product resulting from this research was a didactic-pedagogical notebook for mathematics teachers, which addresses how a didactic sequence, based on the use of video cases, can contribute to learning about construction, interpretation and comparison of statistical data with students in EJA. The proposal presented during the didactic intervention was developed for the student to be the protagonist of the process, making the video an incentive for creativity. This study contributes to the educational area by proposing an innovative approach, in the specific context (locus of research and participants), for teaching Mathematics at EJA, highlighting the role of technologies in the comprehensive training of students.
