O uso do aplicativo whatsapp no processo de ensino e aprendizagem de matemática com a utilização da ferramenta matejazap na educação de jovens e adultos (EJA) no estudo de matrizes

Abstract

This research deals with the use of the whatsapp application in the process of teaching and learning mathematics with the use of the matejazap tool in the education of young people and adults (eg) in the study of matrices, with the aim of investigating the contributions of the use of the whatsapp application in process of teaching and learning mathematics with the use of the MatEJAZap tool in the Education of Youth and Adults in High School, in matrix studies. In this context, we exercised the construction of the concept of matrices, in alternate environments, the first being in the classroom, in which we tried to work the contents developed in accordance with the planning carried out together with the mathematics teachers of the educational institution and the second moment, the virtual environment on WhatsApp, where we promote dialogues, interaction and student interactivity in order to obtain meaningful learning. It had a methodological path that encompassed the qualitative approach, using the case study for this purpose and that we also present a self-assessment carried out by students that is inserted within the MatEJAZap tool. As a final product, it presents a guide to the entire process of building the MatEAZap tool and the possibilities for teaching and learning, bringing all documents and applications used throughout the process. We conclude, therefore, that it was important and gratifying to use the tool during the proposed activities and, as the results showed, we received the students' evaluation, which was positive regarding the MatEJAZap tool as a possibility for interaction, student participation and content learning, already that most highlighted that the tool was efficient in the way it approached the mathematical knowledge. We continue with the expectation that further research will be developed, focusing on the possibilities and limitations of working with digital tools.
