“Nem tudo é por Bhaskara”: a aprendizagem significativa por meio da história em quadrinhos para o ensino da equação do segundo grau

Abstract

This work consists of using the History of Equation of the Second Degree through Comic History as instructional material in the teaching of Mathematics in the form of a material potentially significant in a teaching situation, as proposed by the theory of significant learning of David Ausubel and J. Novak from Moreira. The work proposal was carried out in a group of students from the private school network, located in the western zone of Rio de Janeiro. From the methodological point of view, the research was of a qualitative and quantitative nature, having as research strategy a research of pedagogical intervention, in which the application of a diagnostic evaluation was carried out, where we sought to discover the existing knowledge in the students' cognitive structure on equation . In the second moment, we apply our educational product and then apply a later evaluation in order to make comparisons and analyze the students' learning. From the reflection of the students, the observation of the researcher and the interview with the teacher, we verified the application of an instructional material in the teaching of equation, supported in the theory of significant learning with the presentation of the history of Mathematics in the language of History in Comics, It can be concluded that it constitutes a facilitating element of the teaching-learning process.
