O uso de aplicativos mobile para resolução de problemas matemáticos: uma análise crítica e perspectivas educacionais

Abstract

This work aims to conduct a critical analysis of the use of mobile applications in solving mathematical problems and to explore their educational perspectives. To achieve this objective, the research adopts a methodological approach based on exploratory research and the application of a questionnaire to university students. The discussion covers the effectiveness of these applications in enhancing mathematical skills, their main advantages and limitations compared to traditional teaching methods, and the perceptions of educators and students regarding their use. The results indicate that mobile applications can be valuable tools to complement mathematics education, offering benefits such as accessibility, interactivity, and immediate feedback. However, they also present challenges, such as excessive reliance on technology and the need for appropriate integration into the school curriculum. The research concludes that to maximize the benefits of mobile applications in mathematics education, it is essential to develop strategies that promote their balanced and effective use, considering best pedagogical practices and students' specific needs.
