Uma proposta metodológica para o ensino de sistemas lineares via aprendizagem significativa com aporte do software Geogebra

Abstract

It is common for mathematics teachers to receive the following question from students: “why learn this content, when I will never use it in my life?”. In addition, the mediator is faced with the numerous difficulties presented by the students, as well as the lack of interest, since mathematics is one of the subjects that students most often fail. Linear algebra is one of the most important areas of mathematics, as it is present in many professions and in everyday life. The teaching and learning of linear algebra in exact science courses has been quite challenging, due to all the abstraction necessary for understanding the concepts. In this way, the education professional has to think of strategies to innovate their didactics, in order to promote a meaningful and dynamic learning. Meaningful learning is defined when new knowledge is incorporated into the student, based on knowledge that already exists in their cognitive structure, that is, over the years the student builds more and more knowledge. Rather, it becomes learning defined as mechanical. Thus, this work proposes to use the geogebra software, which brings together different knowledge of mathematics, such as geometry, algebra, spreadsheets, graphs, probability, statistics and numerical calculations, as a strategy to promote dynamic didactics, and thus generate learning. significant. Therefore, it favors the teacher's didactics and enriches the student's learning.
