Uma gincana de Matemática à luz de uma proposta Inter e Transdisciplinar

Abstract

In this report, we discuss an inter- and transdisciplinary proposal to seek
elements that can contribute to minimize some gaps in the learning of
mathematics (MASOLA; ALLEVATO, 2019), given that the results presented
in the external evaluations, such as the International Student Assessment
Program (PISA) and the Basic Education Development Index (IDEB), have
pointed out problems in the teaching and learning of this discipline. To this
end, we develop a work in the form of gymkhana - which we call
Gymkhamatic -, as this is a didactic and cultural action that emphasizes the
construction of strategies, creativity, personal initiative, teamwork and
autonomy, comes from confidence in one’s ability to face challenges, and
which can stimulate students' interest and pleasure in the study of the
subject. Thus, it is worth mentioning that the gymkhana was developed in a
state school in Feira de Santana, Bahia, and involved the participation of
students of Elementary and High School. It is also worth mentioning that,
even without financial incentive from the competent agencies, we seek
funding partnerships for the realization of collective work in focus, which
encompassed the entire faculty and student, managers, pedagogical
coordinators and employees. We realized that, through Gymnastics, we were
able to demonstrate to students the possibility of applying mathematical
knowledge to their daily lives, and we encouraged in colleagues, teachers(s)
of the different areas of knowledge, the desire to participate in a work
proposal that aims to (re)signify the process of teaching and learning from
circus knowledge and diverse approaches -logical reasoning, argumentation,
communication, interaction, modeling, application of mathematical tools,
among others.
