Resumo
O presente trabalho versou sobre questões relacionadas à Didática da Matemática e analisou como o software matemático Winplot pode ser utilizado como estratégia potencializadora dos processos de ensino e aprendizagem. Os objetivos foram compreender se e como os softwares matemáticos podem auxiliar nos processos de ensino e aprendizagem, investigando a importância da utilização dos mesmos como facilitadores dos processos de ensino e aprendizagem da matemática, bem como verificar como a aplicação foi vista perante aos alunos enquanto recurso pedagógico alternativo para o ensino da matemática. Partimos do pressuposto de que é imprescindível o preparo dos docentes para utilizar tais ferramentas, assim como planejar suas aulas, elaborar estratégias interessantes e executar ações com recursos didáticos adequados para que se alcancem os objetivos almejados sempre dentro de um contexto alinhado com o Projeto Pedagógico da instituição. O interesse pelo tema surgiu a partir da observação das dificuldades encontradas pelos professores quanto ao ensino da matemática no tocante à articulação entre a teoria e prática, tanto a prática social global pertinente à vida social do homem, quanto a prática em sala de aula relacionada aos conteúdos matemáticos, por meio de softwares educacionais, em especial ao Winplot. A escolha pelo software Winplot justificou-se pelo fato de ser considerada uma ferramenta potencializadora dos processos de ensino e aprendizagem na matemática, uma vez que propicia aos professores um recurso tecnológico no preparo das aulas e atividades como forma de aprimoramento metodológico. Para atender a este objetivo, a presente pesquisa teve como sujeitos os alunos do 1º ano do Ensino Médio de escola pública juntamente com a professora que leciona a disciplina em questão. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida segundo a abordagem qualitativa do tipo pesquisa-ação cooperativa. Teve como resultados a conclusão de que uma aula para ter uma aprendizagem significativa, sendo pautada na Teoria Histórico-Cultural, deve conter elementos para torná-la colaborativa entre os alunos, sendo fundamental a presença do professor mediador, mas deixando os estudantes serem protagonistas dos próprios conhecimentos. O professor tem a responsabilidade de conduzir o processo de forma tal que os alunos tenham condições de atribuir sentido e significado aos conteúdos trabalhados. Os resultados indicam que houve um aumento no interesse dos alunos pelas aulas, comprovando que o uso de tecnologias no ensino da Matemática proporciona melhoria da compreensão dos conceitos e conteúdos matemáticos. Todavia, destaca-se a necessidade de um melhor preparo dos professores no tocante à utilização do recurso tecnológico, bem como de se oferecer melhores condições de trabalho a eles, para que assim os mesmos possam ter condições de planejar uma aula diferenciada, embasada em teorias consistentes como a Teoria Histórico-Cultural, na qual os alunos possam ser efetivamente os protagonistas da ação pedagógica, participando de forma ativa no processo educacional.
The present work dealt with questions related to Mathematics Didactics and analyzed how Winplot mathematical software can be used as a potential strategy for teaching and learning processes. The objectives were to understand if and how mathematical software can aid in teaching and learning processes, investigating the importance of using them as facilitators of the teaching and learning processes of mathematics, as well as verify how the application was seen before the students as a resource an alternative pedagogy for the teaching of mathematics. We assume that it is essential to prepare teachers to use such tools, as well as to plan their classes, to devise interesting strategies and to execute actions with adequate didactic resources so that the objectives always achieved within a context aligned with the Pedagogical Project of the institution. The interest in the subject arose from the observation of the difficulties encountered by the teachers regarding the teaching of mathematics in relation to the theory and practice, both the global social practice pertinent to the social life of the man, and the practice in the classroom related to the mathematical content, through educational software, especially to Winplot. The choice of Winplot software was justified by the fact that it is considered a potential tool for teaching and learning processes in mathematics, since it provides teachers with a technological resource in the preparation of classes and activities as a methodological improvement. In order to meet this objective, the present research had as subjects the students of the 1st year of high school public school together with the teacher who teaches the discipline in question. The research was developed according to the qualitative approach of the cooperative research-action type. The conclusion was that a lesson to have a meaningful learning, based on the Historical-Cultural Theory, should contain elements to make it collaborative among the students, being fundamental the presence of the mediating teacher, but leaving the students to be protagonists of the own knowledge. The teacher has the responsibility to conduct the process in such a way that the students are able to give meaning and meaning to the contents worked. The results indicate that there has been an increase in students' interest in classes, proving that the use of technologies in teaching mathematics improves the understanding of mathematical concepts and contents. However, there is a need for teachers to better prepare for the use of technological resources, as well as to offer better working conditions to teachers, so that they may be able to plan a differentiated class based on theories consistent as the Historical-Cultural Theory, in which students can be effectively the protagonists of the pedagogical action, participating actively in the educational process.
