A avaliação do desempenho da relação entre as disciplinas de Física e Matemática

Abstract

Qualitative studies of student performance in Physics and Mathematics class are found in the literature reporting the relationship between class, but few quantitatively evaluate this performance and its statistical correlation. In the city of Manaus data on performance in both class are provided by State Secretary of Education - SEDUC, but there is not in-depth investigation into this. The aim of this research were to analyze in a statistical way, the correlation of the degree of academic performance in the mathematics and physics class, as well as to discuss topics such as interdisciplinarity, Ausubel's meaningful learning theory, and PCN's between the two class. The research had as a theoretical contribution the bibliographic review constituted by several types of publications such as: books, papers, legal documents etc. The Pearson product‐moment correlation is about 0.454 and 0.782. The correlations are significant at the p < 0.01 level. This study suggests that mathematical ability is a primary influence on performance in the physics class.
