Uma proposta de ensino de geometria através da aprendizagem baseada em projetos

Abstract

This study focuses on the development of geometry teaching and learning through the active methodology of Project-Based Learning (PBL). The aim was to investigate the impact of this methodology on teaching practices among first-year high school students. To this end, a teaching sequence was implemented to progressively improve students’ knowledge of geometry content and its practical applications, culminating in the construction of a floor plan and a virtual model using SketchUp software. The research adopted a mixed methodological approach, considering qualitative and quantitative methods through the application of a pre-test and a post-test as research tools. The results demonstrated student engagement in practical activities and improved learning of geometric concepts, necessary for continuing their studies in high school and later in life, integrating the development of competencies and skills for the 21st century.
