Construção de um aplicativo em shiny para visualização de dados da Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) no estado do Rio Grande do Norte

Abstract

Youth and Adult Education (EJA) is a teaching modality in Brazil that aims to accommodate young people and adults who have not completed their studies at the appropriate age. This educational program is supported by law and is intended for individuals who have not benefited from all basic levels of education. Monitoring the implementation of EJA is essential to outline the modality and serve as a subsidy for the development of initiatives to improve and strengthen education in the country. In this context, the Department of Educational and Curriculum Practices of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), through professor and researcher Alessandro Augusto de Azevêdo, has regularly requested the help of the Laboratory of Applied Statistics (LEA/UFRN) to analyze data related to EJA in the State of Rio Grande do Norte (RN). Faced with this demand, this work aims to develop an application to automate the visualization and monitoring of data about EJA. The R programming language is used, together with the Shiny package, to produce graphs and maps for enrollment data in EJA in RN. The construction and use of the application are presented step-by-step through a tutorial, facilitating user interaction with the application and enabling the update or incorporation of new databases.
