Um ambiente interativo de aprendizagem em fração

Abstract

This work proposes an Interactive Learning Environment oriented to the Fraction domain. It offers support to both student and teacher. In favour of the student the environment offers software agents that implements a distributed problem solver yielding respective explanations and an appraiser of solutions, and an evaluator module to evaluate the solution of the student. The system also provides the student with adequate feedback concerning his solution. The teachers have support in the environment construction by means of tools to make the news problems and accept the problems of the environment. The environment was designed in accordance with the conceptual model of the MATHEMA and ForBILE, adopting the Problem Based Learning - PBL as a pedagogical methodology. The system uses some functionalities common of classic STI, having been implemented using the Java technology. A preliminary experiment of the environment indicates some pedagogical quality, as well as its acceptance by the students.
