Simulações Phet no ensino e aprendizagem de equação do 1º grau com problemas contextualizados no 8º ano do ensino fundamental na modalidade não presencial

Abstract

The research was conducted in the context of the covid-19 pandemic, so it was applied at a distance, the classes were done through the platform that the school the school uses for posting content/activities and student-teacher interaction, the GR8. A new methodology to help teach mathematics, especially in the subject of 1st grade equations was used, the Phet Phet Simulator, this technological methodology combined with problem solving contextualized problems, come to make the content of equations less abstract and more visual to visual to the students. The general objective of this research is to use the Phet Simulator in elementary school for teaching and learning 1st degree equations with contextualized contextualized problems, during the non presential period. The research was applied from video lessons recalling the content of 1st grade equations and and presenting/explaining the use of the Phet Simulator, and how to use it in the offline mode. offline mode. A questionnaire was applied to the host teacher to understand their perception of mathematics and the use of technology in their classes. classes. And two questionnaires to the students, with the objective of diagnosing their learning of the content and their difficulties in learning mathematics and another, evaluative, to verify the improvements observed by the students from the use of the simulator and their difficulties in learning mathematics. the use of the simulator and their difficulties in using it. The analysis was based on The analysis was done by checking the answers on the forms, together with the opinions of theoreticians about the the subjects discussed. It was observed that most of the students found the interesting and interactive methodology, bringing more dynamics to the classes and leaving the traditional the traditional method, when the student can represent the same content in the same content in several ways he expands his knowledge in relation to the subject studied Thus, using the simulator as a methodological support for the representation and representation and observation of equations helps in greater compression of the content. Key words: 1st degree equations. Phet Simulator. Interactions. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
