Os desafios de ensinar e aprender matemática no contexto da pandemia de coronavírus em uma escola de assentamento rural

Abstract

This work was conceived together with the research project Mathematical and Interdisciplinary Investigations in Learning Projects and aims to: reflect on elements of active student learning in the process of teaching and learning mathematics in a school in a rural settlement. The research methodology uses a qualitative approach, in the case study modality. The data were analyzed from the perspective of Content Analysis and are constituted by the math teacher's class notes in the form of activity sheets, resolutions of these activities by the students, as well as semi-structured interviews carried out with the math teacher, students and their guardians. . Thus, with theoretical support based on the reflection on the main teaching methodologies and on the development of active learning, as well as on the implementation of emergency remote teaching, it is possible to highlight the challenges of teaching and learning mathematics in the context of remote teaching in a school in a rural settlement. The main results show that students and their guardians took positions of seekers, in view of the need to find conditions to carry out school mathematics activities. It was possible to notice that although the teacher works in the traditional teaching method, the students developed their own active learning skills, such as autonomy, collaboration, cooperation, with physical classrooms migrating to their homes and whatsapp groups. With regard to the structure, the lack of internet access is the biggest problem, as the investigated region is heavily affected in terms of the quality and stability of the internet signal, not to mention the high cost, which makes research impossible or precarious, the group studies, contact with the teacher, imposing on students only contact with printed activities, which limits the construction of knowledge and contributes to accentuate social inequality. Another result showed that the research not only served to present the challenges aggravated by the Covid-19 pandemic in the teaching-learning process of mathematics, but also fulfilled the social role of bringing the university into the São João Batista school community.
