Investigando a identificação de conteúdos e a mobilização de habilidades mentais em jogos de estratégia virtuais em alunos do 3º ano do ensino médio

Abstract

The research proposed by us aims to investigate the contents and the mobilization of mathematical skills in games of virtual strategies with students from 3rd year of Ensino Médio, being the main focus of our work the mathematical games, using the analysis of experience and previous knowledge of students. Base ourselves as theoretical reference, in theory significant learning of David Ausubel, emphasizing that while playing the student is used in its previous knowledge of cognitive structure. Through responses to a questionnaire, selected five (5) students to participants of empirical research, which is best identified the proposed in our research. The records in audio-visual indicators that formed the basis of our analysis, in the direction of our goals. The results of our observation suggest that our students have difficulties to make the association that are taking over your moves with the math; tend to admit the existence of mathematics in the game, but can not identify how they use it in pursuit of the strategy of victory. Boosting the need to intensify research on this topic, the students have more access to games in mathematics, both in a concrete manner as the virtual and, in a joint work of teachers and students, to seek embed them in the teaching-learning process.
