O presente estudo procura refletir sobre as estratégias utilizadas no ensino e na aprendizagem da matemática, nomeadamente a utilização da interdisciplinaridade, a partir da junção entre a matemática e a literatura portuguesa. Tradicionalmente, estas duas áreas são encaradas como disciplinas isoladas, que não se cruzam, existindo entre elas uma dicotomia. Este estudo foi realizado no âmbito do mestrado em Ensino do 1.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico e de Matemática e Ciências Naturais no 2.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico, lecionado na Escola Superior da Educação e Comunicação da Universidade do Algarve.
Foi planeado para decorrer durante o ano letivo 2020/2021, em escolas pertencentes ao concelho de Faro, e tinha como principal objetivo promover a utilização do texto literário como recurso à aprendizagem de conteúdos matemáticos. Centrar-se-ia em duas turmas, uma turma de 4.º ano do ensino básico e uma turma do 6.º ano do ensino básico. É de realçar que não foi possível concretizar o estudo devido a uma pandemia mundial que obrigou ao encerramento das escolas e o ensino passou a ser realizado à distância, impossibilitando assim a sua concretização presencial.
É um estudo que pretende responder à questão: Será a literatura uma ferramenta na resolução de problemas matemáticos? A metodologia centra-se na resolução de duas fichas de trabalho, por parte dos alunos dos dois anos escolares mencionados anteriormente. A ficha inicial contém problemas matemáticos introduzidos com o recurso a enunciados matemáticos, enquanto que a segunda ficha de trabalho recorre a excertos de obras literárias de José Saramago, autor português, nobel da literatura, para introduzir os problemas matemáticos. O objetivo central consiste em verificar se os alunos conseguem resolver os problemas de uma forma mais clara e concreta com o auxílio da literatura. Estamos perante um estudo qualitativo e interpretativo. A perspetiva de resultados, apontam para que este estudo conseguisse comprovar, através do estudo empírico, que as duas áreas conseguem interligar-se e funcionar de forma benéfica no processo de ensino e de aprendizagem dos alunos.
The present study pretends to reflect about used strategies on the teaching and learning of mathematics, namely the use of interdisciplinarity, putting together mathematics and Portuguese literature. Traditionally, these two areas of expertise are, seen as, isolated of one another, so therefore there is a dichotomy between them. This study was held as part of the master’s in education for the 1st and 2nd Cycles of Primary School, which takes place at Escola Superior da Educação e Comunicação, Universidade do Algarve. It was planned to occur during the school year (2020/2021), at different schools in Faro and the main goal was to promote the use of literary texts as a resource for the learning of mathematics. It would be centred in two classes, one class on the 4th year of basic education and in one class on the 6th year of basic education. This way, it would be possible to compare the benefits in two different levels of schooling. Due to the world pandemic, it was impossible to complete the said study, the schools were forced to close and teaching was done online, inhibiting the presential study. This study aims to answer the following question: Is literature a support tool on the resolution of mathematic problems? The methodology focuses on the resolution of two worksheets on both years. The first worksheet has mathematic problems with mathematic wording, while the second worksheet resorts to the literary works of José Saramago, a renown Portuguese author, Nobel Prize for literature, to introduce the mathematics problems. The main objective is to verify whether students are able to solve problems in a clearer and more concrete way with the help of literature. This is a qualitative and interpretative study. The prospect of results pointed out that this study could demonstrate through empirical study, that the two areas can be interconnected and function in a beneficial way in the teaching and learning process of students.
