A resolução de problema e o xadrez no ensino de matemática

Abstract

The educational product consists of a continuing education course for teachers, created in the year 2022, in the Professional Master's course Education for Science and Mathematics of the Federal Institute of Goiás, Campus Jataí. He integrated the research, whose problematic was: how can a course, focused on pedagogical practice with chess in the perspective of Problem Solving, contribute to the continuing education of teachers who teach mathematics? To answer this question, a course was developed in a semi-face-to-face way, addressing Problem Solving and Chess in the teaching of mathematics, which lasted 120 hours, distributed in 40 hours of face-to-face activities organized in 8 weekly meetings of 5 hours each, and 80 hours of asynchronous activities, in the Google classroom platform, ( https://classroom.google.com/c/NDc2NjQzMTY0MTQ2?cjc=jwu6v2t) , which were intended for individual studies, resolution of virtual classroom activities, elaboration and application of classroom activities. The course was aimed at teachers who teach mathematics, working in the classroom in the city of Doverlândia-GO. An invitation was made via means of communication (e-mail, calls and/or whatsapp) to select the participants. At first, ten teachers were enrolled, but due to personal problems, some had to give up, and the course was completed with seven participants. In the face-to-face meetings, practical pedagogical activities were prioritized, which would allow teachers to relate the theory and practice of the classroom. In the asynchronous part, the theory about Problem Solving was studied, from the Pólya heuristic to the Methodology of Teaching-Learning-Mathematical Evaluation through Problem Solving, developed by the Study Group on Problem Solving (GTERP), of Unesp Rio Claro; the use of games in the teaching of Mathematics; and the historical aspects and pedagogical applications of the game of chess in the teaching of mathematics.
