A perspectiva metodológica da resolução de problemas: um estudo sobre enunciados de situações matemáticas na EJA

In this paper we discuss the importance of a methodological perspective of solving problems as a sustaining process of teaching mathematics situated on the perspective of concept formation. Organizing a significant didactic situation for students imposes the need to study the interaction between them and the teacher and between them and their mathematical knowledge, learning environment in which the mere transmission of content gives way to contextualization, to historicizing and handling of topics from intuitive and everyday situations for the student. Thus, we understand mathematics as a fundamental language for the creation of theoretical thinking as a whole. We made use of documental analysis and classroom situations aiming at the use of instructional procedure related to the resolution of problems with the purpose of overcoming some representations about the process of teaching and learning mathematics which is strongly marked by imitative-repetitive algorithmic procedures. Considering mathematics as an investigation discipline, we point out renewal prospects for the curricula of this discipline, which are concrete in the movement of cultural action of the school itself as the cell generating discussion.

Estudo sobre comunidades online de aprendizagem

Atualmente as iniciativas em educação a distância vêm crescendo significativamente, contudo, acreditamos que esse crescimento não veio acompanhado de igual reflexão sobre as práticas dessa modalidade educacional, por isso, esse estudo busca ser uma iniciativa nesse sentido, pretende buscar quais as características necessárias (de interação, da atividade, da tecnologia, visuais etc.) para promover e manter uma comunidade online de aprendizagem. O foco nas comunidades online se deve ao fato de que elas possibilitam elevado grau de interação entre seus participantes, o que as torna desejáveis em cursos de educação a distância, uma vez que acreditamos que a aprendizagem ocorre na interação entre os sujeitos, alunos e professores, as mídias e o objeto de conhecimento. Baseamo-nos em princípios da metodologia qualitativa de pesquisa e nos utilizamos de procedimentos como a observação participante de um curso a distância, intitulado Tendências em Educação Matemática que foi oferecido no primeiro semestre desse ano pelo Grupo de Pesquisa em Informática, outras Mídias e Educação Matemática (GPIMEM), do departamento de Matemática da UNESP de Rio Claro. Realizamos também entrevista com alguns alunos do curso, como forma de tentar melhor compreender algumas questões, além de análise de alguns documentos gerados pelo mesmo, tais como o programa e a avaliação final proposta pela administração e respondida pelos alunos. Para este trabalho definimos algumas características necessárias para obter e manter uma comunidade online de aprendizagem de acordo com a bibliografia específica e buscamos verificar sua ocorrência no curso observado, como forma de buscar elaborar reflexões sobre elas e de contribuir para futuras iniciativas nesse sentido. Concluímos que grande parte dessas características foi encontrada no curso estudado e que os problemas tecnológicos... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

O ensino dos conceitos de área e perímetro através da resolução de problemas

When I set out to attend degree in mathematics was because I believed that mathematics could be taught to students in a way closer to their daily lives, thereby making it a more attractive school discipline, gradually, eliminating its reputation of a difficult school subject. Then, during my observations in supervised, I realized that one of the greatest difficulties in mathematics was related with geometry, in which the concepts of area and perimeter were often confused. Using the methodological tool of problem solving, something to bring the concept to be developed and the cultural context in which the student is in, I developed some educational activities in which, using concrete materials, students were encouraged to construct their own knowledge about the concepts of area and perimeter. Moreover, such activities were designed to place the student as the center of attention in the classroom. The main objective of this work is to encourage and observe how this methodology, based on the solving problem process, can be used within the classroom, to better understand the concepts to be taught, always looking for improvement of the student learning

Dificuldades e/ou problemas de aprendizagem: concepções e práticas docentes

It is known that some children fail to learn in school and among them are those that present difficulties and / or learning problems. At this difficulty and / or problems are attributed to various causes neurological problems, environmental or both. The areas most likely to be affected are: reading, writing and mathematics. This situation happens frequently in the daily life of schools and teachers should be prepared to work with diversity and enable the development of all, this includes having this particular part of the school population has a significant learning and an appropriate social relationship. It is therefore aim of this study, to investigate the conceptions of teachers in relation to the theme and possible practices of those in public elementary schools in Bauru city, a medium-sized city in the state of Sao Paulo, with those children who can not learn. Because it is a fact that often occurs in schools, it is necessary to investigate how teachers are working with these students since the school should ensure quality education for all and pedagogical efficiency. To obtain the data we used a questionnaire with multiple choice and essay questions, this tool was applied to a municipal school. It was noted that there is confusion between the terms learning difficulties and problems which affect the performance of teachers with these students and the working conditions of educators hinder their practices

Aprendizagem dos alunos de 5º ano do ensino fundamental em aritmética e suas dificuldades na resolução de problemas com estrutura multiplicativa

The topic in this work involving the resolution of problems with structure multiplicativa emerged from discussions carried out on the difficulties encountered by students of the first cycle of the Fundamental School in Mathematics, mainly in respect of the arithmetic. The research had as objective to investigate the main difficulties presented by these students when they are faced with a task for a resolution of problems with multiplicativa structure. Were participants, in the first stage of the study, 20 students of the fifth year of the Fundamental School of a state school of public education of the State of Sao Paulo. These students have an assessment containing ten problems with structure multiplicativa answered a questionnaire regarding of mathematics. In the second stage, were selected two students to participate in the think aloud. The data analysis showed that the difficulties presented by the participants were: 1- difficulty to read and interpret the set of problems; 2- select the operation correct; 3- to operate correctly; 4 – Trouble writing

Um estudo sobre a resolução de problemas e suas relações com a afetividade

This research aims at examining the relationship between the performance of elementary school students Cycle I in problem solving and attitudes toward mathematics. For this, a research was conducted at a state school in the city of Bauru which was selected for convenience. Participants were randomly selected consisting of 75 students, of whom 21 were third years and 57 were of three classes of fifth year. The instruments used for data collection were: a informative questionnaire to characterize the students in age, grade, favorite subjects and the least liked, among others, an attitude scale, Likert type, to examine the attitudes toward mathematics; a interviews with 11 selected students according to scores on the attitudes and mathematical problems to be solved through the method of thinking aloud. The results showed that the major difficulties encountered by students in solving problems were: to understand the problems, formalizing the reasoning, recognize in the problem the algorithms needed for its resolution, make calculations with decimal numbers, do combinatorics, using the sum of equal portions instead of multiplying, self-confidence and autonomy in what he was doing, and others; participants with positive attitudes towards mathematics showed greater confidence to solve problems as well as a greater understanding on what was required by them, but were not detected significant relation between the attitudes and performance, since it was unfavorable

A evolução na prática da educação: o uso das mídias como ferramentas no ensino/aprendizagem da educação matemática

It is possible to note that the teaching done in the usual way goes against the language of youth today. It is essential that there be incentives and subsidies regarding the use of such media, whether the responsible government agencies and their members, be they principals and teachers, so there is a reform in the existing educational models and teaching. Currently, teaching is in a purely encyclopedic context of teaching models with pre-defined, ignoring the teaching based on the context in which the student lives (ethnomathematics). The objective of this work is to show how the use of audiovisual best known, such as newspapers, magazines, TV and computers can assist in teaching and learning of mathematics education, making teaching more enjoyable and inserted into the day-to-day student

Um Estudo da modelagem matemática na educação matemática e seu potencial para o desenvolvimento do pensamento crítico

The implementation of mathematical modeling curricula represents a great challenge, both for teachers and students, since it escapes the traditional teaching methodology, i.e. when the teacher speaks to his/her students. This work presents, at least, one possible way of implementing mathematical modeling inside the classroom, and how this way encourage critical thinking in students. I see mathematical modeling as an opportunity to minimize student's rejection and increase their interest for mathematics, promoting their competencies to give points of scene in every day situations. The history of mathematics shows that mathematical modeling had developed since almost the beginning of human live, when men needed to solve problems that arose in the course of his life. Mathematics has become more and more abstract, but it is important to recall what was originated it. In this way, it is possible to make this subject matter more meaningful to students. I will make an introduction of mathematical modeling, presenting some important definitions. Based on this framework, I will present a classroom instruction understand on a 7 th grade classroom by myself. With this in instruction I sustain the idea that mathematical modeling has, in fact, a great potential to improve the quality of mathematics teaching. I also sustain that, the development of critical thinking, as a competence, way be achieved with it

Os saberes, os desafios e a utilização de jogos no ensino da matemática na EJA: um estudo

A matemática está presente nas mais diversas atividades do nosso cotidiano. O interesse em realizar o Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso no âmbito da Educação de Jovens e Adultos/EJA, surgiu a partir do meu ingresso no Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência - PIBID no início do ano de 2010. O PIBID vem sendo desenvolvido em vários campi da Unesp, somente nos cursos de licenciatura e tem como financiadora a CAPES/MEC. No curso de licenciatura Plena em Pedagogia, o Programa EJA/PIBID Rio Claro atua na escola Municipal Celeste Calil, localizada em um bairro periférico, que tem como público alvo pessoas de baixa renda, alfabetizadas ou não. O trabalho que a cada dia vem sendo construído com as educandas me despertou muito interesse, principalmente com relação ao ensino da matemática, uma vez que a mesma está presente nas diversas esferas do cotidiano. Podemos acompanhar (observar) que as alunas já trazem consigo uma experiência de vida muito grandiosa com relação à solução de questões pertinentes a matemática. Para auxiliar na aprendizagem, recursos matemáticos vêm sendo introduzidos nas aulas, entre eles jogos, onde as educandas podem reviver situações cotidianas que, à primeira vista, facilita o processo de aprendizagem e resolução de problemas. O presente trabalho tem como objetivos fazer um levantamento de jogos matemáticos que poderão ser utilizados nas aulas da EJA, e também analisar o caderno de registros matemáticos do PIBID, no ano de 2010. Quanto à metodologia, buscam-se elementos na pesquisa qualitativa, bem como análise bibliográfica de jogos que foram levantados e também análise documental do caderno de registros do PIBID 2010, construído conjuntamente, pelo grupo de educandas e bolsistaseducadores

Simetria no ensino fundamental através da resolução de problemas: possibilidades para um trabalho em sala de aula

This paper presents an alternative way of working with the theme of symmetry in the elementary school classroom. The proposal is based on qualitative research developed in the Professional Masters degree program in Science and Mathematics Teaching. We conducted field-work consisting of applying a sequence of activities for students in the seventh grade. The sequence was developed from the perspective of mathematics teaching using problem solving, taking into consideration aspects relevant to the study of geometry, such as intuition and visualization. In carrying out the activities, the dialogues between students and teacher were recorded and later transcribed. For data analysis we used the procedures of phenomenology. When interpreting the data, we observed that the teaching of symmetry using problem-solving enhances learning. We also found that, in an investigative environment, students are able to identify properties, argue about the geometric characteristics, and justify their opinions.
