The development of mathematical skills in teaching matrices using the TinkerCad simulator through problem-based learning in the context of an interdisciplinary Project
This study presents the results of the master's research that sought to investigate and reflect on the contributions that can emerge from the work between Mathematics and automation with the TinkerCad simulator for the development of general competences of Basic Education and specific of Mathematics present in the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC). For this, an interdisciplinary project was developed between the curricular components Mathematics and Web Site Development with students from the second grade of Technical Education integrated to the Secondary in Computer Science for the Internet, in a State Technical School in the municipality of Praia Grande (SP) at the end of the year de 2022. The project considered concepts of Logic Programming with the objective of teaching mathematical contents of matrices, through the problem-based approach (PBL). The collected data refer to the activities developed by the students in the context of the interdisciplinary project, being the researcher, the teacher who teaches mathematics to the class. The results originate from the documental analysis of the Secondary School BNCC and the set of data obtained, composed of the records: participant observation, semi-structured interview, activities developed by the students, questionnaire and filming. Competency-based teaching, Digital Information and Communication Technologies (TDIC) applied to education, PBL and Project Pedagogy make up the initial theoretical framework of this work. A bibliographic review was carried out in order to locate works that support its foundation and contextualization. These partial results allowed: the identification of studies that supported the elaboration of this dissertation, thus confirming the absence of productions related to the outlined problem; and pointed to the three competences that are most aligned with the purpose of this investigation, three specific to the area of Mathematics and its Technologies and two general to Basic Education. They also demonstrated that the interdisciplinary work with the support of TDIC and the PBL stimulates interest in learning Mathematics contents as well as Logic Programming.
