Cinema e Educação Matemática: o texto fílmico para além do recurso didático

Abstract

This paper presents a discussion on cinema, education and Mathematics Education, specifically, the use of cinema as a language and pedagogical resource in mathematics education. In order to develop a thematic analysis of cinema as a language and didactic -pedagogical resource for the teaching of mathematics, the first step was to identify the state of the art of research on cinema and education through a systematic review of literature on cinema, education, and Mathematics Education. This review aimed to identify the academic research as well as the results obtained from the experiences regarding cinema as a resource and language in mathematics classrooms. The results of this review pointed out differences between the number of productions in Portuguese and English from the SciELO and CAPES journals portals, respectively. The second step of the research was the selection of some movies and their respective analysis to be used as a pedagogical resource in class. Thus, an analysis was developed with the following films: Hidden Figures (2016), A Beautiful Mind (2001), and Good Will Hunting (1997), through a decoupage of scenes selected throughout the filmic text. As results, it was identified the possibility of using cinema in mathematics teaching and the need for more research on cinema and education, especially in mathematics teaching.
