A compreensão da matofobia associada à dificuldade de aprendizagem em matemática

Abstract

This work sought to identify learning difficulties in Mathematics associated with mathophobia in Basic Education students, investigating a relationship between learning disorders in Mathematics and mathophobia and whether there are strategies that help students to overcome this problem. Mathophobia and mathematical learning difficulties were investigated in the light of theoretical assumptions regarding their definition, damage they cause to the development of learning in Mathematics. The work involved a bibliographical research approach with the purpose of deepening knowledge on the topic. We concluded this study with the intention that it contribute to an insight into the concepts addressed here and that these serve mainly for the development and construction of more effective mathematical learning.
