ACTIVE METHODOLOGIES FOR DEVELOPING INDIVIDUAL AND COLLABORATIVE SKILLS IN THE DISCIPLINE OF MATHEMATICS
Active methodologies; Skills; Mathematics.
The research has the general objective of proposing a methodology that uses active methodologies to develop individual and collaborative skills and engagement in the mathematics discipline. This is a case study of a qualitative and quantitative nature. This research was carried out in two schools on the outskirts of the city of Natal/RN, one from the public school system and the other from the private school system. The participants were students in the final years of elementary school who were enrolled in the 8th year, as well as their respective mathematics teachers who worked in these respective grades. To carry out this research, active teaching methodologies, as well as cinema, were used as a pedagogical tool. Initially, a questionnaire was administered to the participating students with questions related to the research, then the students chose a film to be shown and carry out the proposed activities based on the active methodologies and mathematics content seen in the classroom, relating them to the film seen in the room. At the end of these procedures, another questionnaire was administered about the methodology used, as well as an experience report was requested from the teachers participating in this research. At the end of this study, it was hoped to identify the main factors that interfere with teaching and learning in the subject of mathematics, the correlations between active methodologies and the development of skills and abilities, as well as contributing to the educational development of the participating students. As a final product of this research, teaching material was created for mathematics teachers to serve as support in their classes and to expand the development of students' skills in the subject of mathematics.
