A música como ferramenta pedagógica para potencializar o ensino da matemática

Abstract

The Course Completion Work “Music as a Pedagogical Tool to Enhance the Teaching of Mathematics” presented to the Federal University of Paraíba. This work aims to investigate the use of music as a pedagogical tool to enhance the teaching of mathematics. The research is based on the principle that interdisciplinarity, by combining music and mathematics, can enrich the teaching-learning process. The main objectives are to relate mathematical concepts to musical elements and develop practical activities that integrate music and mathematics. A mixed methodology was used, involving bibliographic research, development of practical activities, classroom application and data analysis. Finally, this work reinforces that the teaching of mathematics, when integrated with music, can create a more dynamic and stimulating learning environment. Observation of students during activities, accompanied by the results of the perception test, indicated a positive impact on their perceptions of the subject, suggesting that this approach can contribute to greater motivation and engagement. Although it was not possible to directly measure learning, the data collected points to a change in the way students perceived mathematics, which opens up new possibilities for methodologies that seek to integrate different areas of knowledge.
