Robótica nas aulas de Matemática: Uma perspectiva tecnológica associada ao ensino de funções

Abstract

This dissertation aims to research on robotics use in teaching duties. The study was conducted in the year 2016, in the State School Rubens Dutra Segundo, situated in the district of Catolé de Boa Vista, Campina Grande-PB. With the participation of students from class 1st year of high school.We applied some robotics activities in the classroom, and problematized during the following classes. We discussed the assembly and manipulation of a lift truck relating to programming concepts functions. During data collection, we used the idea of constructionism of SAYMOR PARPET, by allowing the investigation of how the subject thinks, perceives and acts. To analyze the experience, we use the daily behavior of students in classes of mathematics related to robotics. After this experience emerged are three categories in this research: Learning Mathematics functions through technology, Motivation and Socialization. Starting the first category we see that robotics and technology associated with the curriculum potentiated conceptual understanding of math functions as well, they instigated the curiosity of students in science (mathematics) and technology. The second category motivation was found by the interest and satisfaction shown by the students resulting in a change of position as to the value of their knowledge and sharing of experiences. The third was evidenced by the proposed working group, since it enables students to work together, perform duties that need to exercise cooperation and collaboration, thus enhancing socialization. The development of this research reaffirms that the learning of science and, in particular mathematics can be pleasurable when experimentation and there held the knowledge going to have meaning for the student.
