Modelagem matemática aplicado a engenharia de produção: proposta metodológica para o ensino e aprendizagem de matemática do ensino médio integrado

Abstract

With the aim of contributing to the improvement of the teaching and learning of mathematics, we carried out this work to analyze and reflect on the current scenario of basic education and the need to change pedagogical practices. Thus, our objective was to discuss the importance of mathematical modeling as a tool for teaching and learning and to try to find answers to common questions that students ask in relation to questions about mathematics. For example: What is this good for? Where am I going to use this? Math was much easier when you had two plus two. With the aim of strengthening the construction of students' mathematical knowledge and contributing to the reflection of professionals in the field of education, this work was carried out. It was developed at the Federal Institute Santa Catarina-Câmpus Caçador in a class of the Production Engineering course and in some classes of the technical course integrated in the high school. During the development of this work, we carried out some tests and gave some lectures with all the students involved about mathematical modeling in the professional activity of the production engineer. After the analysis, it is concluded that the students involved in this work recognize the importance of teaching mathematical content through teaching methods different from the "traditional" blackboard and chalk, and that the introduction of mathematical modeling as a methodological tool contributes to improving the quality of teaching by allowing creativity and autonomy in the development of mathematical activities. Considering the development of this work and the results obtained, we believe that the study objective of this work has been achieved.
