Um estudo sobre algumas das dificuldades dos alunos do ensino médio na aprendizagem de conteúdos matemáticos

Abstract

The Mathematics is widely used in our daily lives, and is of great relevance in the school curriculum, however, most students in basic education have many difficulties in the discipline, especially in high school. Therefore, this work aims to analyze some of the causes of difficulties in mathematics learning that high school students present. To this end, we have, among other questions, the following research question: what are the possible causes of the difficulties of high school students in mathematics, and what contributions can the practices developed in teaching projects bring to help students with these difficulties? The specific objectives that guided our study are to understand from the student's point of view how he interprets difficulties in mathematics, and proposes a practical intervention using resources that can help students' mathematical learning in the classroom. In the construction of the data, a questionnaire was applied to 50 high school students from the State School in Full Time José Augusto (EETIJA) in the city of Caicó - RN. In our conclusions, we understand, considering the entire research process, that there needs to be a greater dialogue between the teacher and the student, a reflection on the part of the teachers about the teaching methods used, and a constant search to improve teaching. mathematics and analyze the deficit in elementary school subjects.
