O ensino de matemática por meio da linguagem de programação Python

Abstract

Issues in math learning are a reality every single day at school. During years, by the IDEB (Índice de Desenvolvimento da Educação Básica) evaluation, from 2013 to 2017, this fact was verified, and, by that, it was demonstrated the students low performance, into the first periods. There are multiple ways to develop the logical think of the students and this way are studied and applied constantly, as the use of TIC’s and the learning games, being possible to receive results in some of them and in others, it is still needed an improvement. By the computer utilization, concepts connected to computers thoughts could be implemented by the teachers in computing labs (LIED - Laboratório de Informática Educativa), allowing that instruments has been created to complement the teaches inside the classrooms. Seymour Papert (1980) studied the impacts of the computer use and their contribution to the cognitive individual development. The present research was looking for to investigate the impacts to the Python programming language utilization to complement the knowledges that the six grade receives (fundamental period in Brasil education form), in math teaches, in a private school, in Ponta Grossa city, Paraná. The present search is a field search, applies and descriptive type. This search has as the central pillar Ausubel (1960) with his significative learning theory and Papert (1980) with his constructivism theory. To the project execution, becomes necessary the investigation of the problems that the students had during the bimester, in math, being after that, developed the codes to every subject. It was possible to realized that the Python language use as a mean to complement the teaching form, was positive to improve the students educational development and logical development, besides the complement of all the knowledge and wisdom acquires inside the class in subjects like numerical expression, math operators and lists.
