Aprendizagem colaborativa e produção de vídeos estudantis no ensino de função quadrática na educação básica

Abstract

This dissertation investigated the question: "How can the collaborative production of videos by students contribute to the understanding and learning of quadratic functions in Basic Education?" The research was conducted at Escola Municipal de Ensino Fundamental Sagrado Coração de Jesus, involving 10 students organized into groups. The main objective was to examine how the collaborative production of videos on quadratic functions by 9th-grade students can support the construction of mathematical knowledge. The theoretical framework used in this research was collaborative learning, associated with the teaching of quadratic functions and the production of digital videos by students. A qualitative research approach was adopted, using a pedagogical intervention methodology. The methodological process was based on the following research instruments: interviews with participants, sessions on video production aspects (scriptwriting, filming, editing, and final product), analysis of students' productions, journal entries, content research, problem-solving exercises, and a final interview. Data analysis was conducted using Bardin’s (2011) content analysis method, organized into three categories: Use of Videos and Technology, Video Production, and Student Performance. The results indicated that collaborative video production facilitated students' representation and interpretation of mathematical concepts. Furthermore, it demonstrated that collaboration fostered skills such as communication, organization, and joint problem-solving. The videos produced reflected both learning gains and specific challenges, such as graph interpretation and the application of quadratic function solutions. It is concluded that video production is an effective pedagogical tool for connecting mathematical concepts to real-life contexts, promoting meaningful and reflective learning. This research contributes to the field of Mathematics Education by proposing an innovative methodology that integrates technology, creativity, and collaboration, with the potential to inspire new practices and investigations.
