Objetos virtuais de aprendizagem e sua aplicação no ensino de conceitos da geometria analítica

Abstract

The present research proposes the development of a methodological proposal in a Learning Unity (LU) aiming at the use of Virtual Learning Objects (VLO) in the teaching of analytical geometry: parallelogram’s area and triangle generated by two linearly independent vectors (LI) and the teaching of conics in a first phase class of the Architecture and Urbanism course. The VLOs were developed using Geogebra software, which provides the use of technological tools in the teaching and learning process in order to attract more attention from the students. The author has developed them and deposited them in Geogebratube with public access so that any reader can access them and handle them. These VLOs were presented in the room, through projection, interacting with the formal concepts of mathematics, worked in the teaching of analytical geometry. During the development of the research, the students interacted with the objects in a visual way and performed activities related to the contents whose objective was to verify the presence of interaction between the semiotic forms of representation of the mathematical concepts. Data collection was based on the observations, activities carried out by the students and reports, which served as parameters for conducting the exploratory qualitative analysis, in order to identify and understand possible contributions of these objects in the teaching and learning process of the concepts addressed. The methodological proposal resulting from this research can also be used in classes of the third year of high school.
