Neurociências: um saber importante para a efetiva construção do conhecimento matemático

Abstract

What are the necessary acquirements for Education, supported by the Neurosciences that are effective for the construction of mathematical knowledge? Neurocienses have significantly supported education trough expertise that implies effective lecerning. The objective of present study is identify the necessary knowledge regarding education that , based on Neurociences, may substantiate theaching strategies that stimulate and assist the development of mathematical cal teaching aond learing in order to enchance the memorization. In order to achieve the proposed objectives, a qualitative and applied type research was carried out. A public school was selected in the city of Caxias do Sul in Rio Grande do Sul. Data collection was done through initial questionnaires with third – year high scool students. Three classes were involved. One of the them called target groups was composed of 27 students. The other two classes, called control class 1 and 2, were composed of 30 students each. Control groups 1 and 2 only participated in the research in the data collection and served as parameters for the matching of the results. The methodology used was the elaboration of an Interactive Didactic Sequence, divided into 8 didactic units where the content was approached strategically and subsidized by the neurosciences, for the improvement of the teaching and learning of mathematics. The storage process will be divided into three sub processes: acquisition, consolidation and evocation. The conceptions of the scholar Lev Semenovich Vygotski on the development of superior psychological functions of the mind involved in the learning process, were also asplied by interwining them with theory attested by the neuroscientific area nowadays. The results of the field research suggest that the students and teachers involved detain only the common sense knowledge of Neurosciences. Among the groups analyzed, which took part in the research, it was verified that the target group had a significant improvement after the development of some activities that used teaching and learning strategies based on the Neurosciences.
