Sequência Fedathi e análise de erros aplicadas ao ensino de frações

Abstract

The theme of this research is the teaching of fractions, a content whose learning is essential for success in school life in Mathematics, since it occurs from Elementary to High School, serving as the basis for learning many more complex content. The analysis focused on the applicability of the Fedathi Sequence, coupled with the methodology of Error Analysis in teaching-learning of this subject. The objective of this study is to test the applicability of the feedback methodologies with respect to the content of fractions, in order to make student learning more effective. As for the theoretical basis, this work is based mainly on the writings of Hermínio Borges Neto (2001) on the Fedathi Sequence, as well as on the studies of Helena Cury, (2015) on Error Analysis, among other scholars of these methodologies. This experiment, developed during the year 2017, had the objective of applying the Fedathi Sequence to the teaching of fractions and analyzing the main difficulties and errors committed by the students, when solving the tests - diagnostic exercises applied. It sets up an action research, of quantitative-qualitative approach, whose data collection happened through the application of exercises to each of the eight classes taught, as well as the application of a questionnaire in the first and last class. Ten students from the state education network of Ceará, enrolled in the 8th year of Elementary Education at EEFM Professor Paulo Freire participated in the research. With the support of the analysis of the data obtained in the research, the results indicate that the application of the Fedathi Sequence with the Error Analysis in class was effective, since the students were more confident and interested in the content, highlighting in response to the questionnaires, the benefits of this change of perspective in working with the error and the positioning of the teacher in the classroom.
