O ensino-aprendizagem de matemática financeira por meio da resolução de problemas no programa de residência pedagógica

Abstract

This undergraduate paper (TCC in Portuguese) shows research that describes, through a reflexive way, some of the actions carried out under the Pedagogical Residency Program of the Mathematics Degree course at UFPB/Campus IV. The aim of the research was to investigate the potential and limitations of a didactic-pedagogical proposal based on the methodological Problem-Solving trend, with a focus on Financial Mathematics. The activities detailed in this research took place from August to September 2023, at a senior high school class consisting of 40 students, at Escola Estadual de Ensino Fundamental e Médio Frederico Lundgren (State Primary and Secondary School - Frederico Lundgren) located in Rio Tinto – PB. The proposal follows the ten steps indicated by Onuchic et al. (2014) in the book Resolução de Problemas: teoria e prática (Problem-Solving: theory and practice). In addition to the studies about Problem-Solving by Onuchic et al. (2014), we also highlight Dante (2009), Van de Walle (2009) e Marconato (2020). Other references used were educational documents such as, Brazil’s National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) (Brasil, 2018) and the National Curricular Guidelines (PCN) (Brasil, 1998; 1999; 2000). Regarding the methodological procedures, this research takes on a qualitative approach and is characterized as exploratory, with the characteristics of a case study, using observation as the main information gathering tool, as well as photographic records of the classes. After the development of the research, among the main results observed during the work are the interest, engagement and the active participation of students, in addition to promoting the skills and competencies proposed by the BNCC, such as reflection, logical reasoning, argumentation and problem-solving.
