A aprendizagem de números complexos na 3ª série do ensino médio utilizando a metodologia da resolução de problemas de George Polya

Abstract

In this work, results will be presented on the application of the problem-solving methodology in a 3rd year high school class in a school in Maceió - Al, from the private network, the chosen problem solving was that of George Polya of 1995. To carry out this work, a documental survey was carried out, a bibliographic survey and a case study with the aforementioned class, aiming at a qualitative methodology in teaching practices. In order to better characterize and choose the types of problems that fit the methodology and the proposed subject of complex numbers, an in-depth study was carried out by several theorists, in order to know the types of problems that exist. After choosing the problem, it will be applied to students in the class with the intention of analyzing the learning of complex numbers in the 3rd year of high school. It is hoped that this work raises a discussion between the importance of analyzing the way to teach complex numbers, and the way that the teacher should teach his classes, in a nontraditional way, but aimed at making the student an active participant.
