Princípio da casa dos pombos : uma abordagem diferenciada com objetos de aprendizagem

Abstract

This study presents the use of learning objects (LO) to the teaching of the Principle of the House of Pigeons. Our goal is to infer that the use of learning objects facilitates the process of teaching and learning. This study was taken place in the Elementary and High School called Irapuan Cavalcante Pinheiro with second-year students in Fortaleza, Ceará. As this is an experimental study, it has been used a sample of 20 students, who were divided into two groups: experimental one and group of control. Such groups, with 10 students each, were separated randomly by raffle. It has been also used, as data collection, a socioeconomic questionnaire and a test with questions on the Principle of the House of Pigeons. Microsoft Office Excel made possible for us to organize and analyze the data collected, which indicated a superior performance of the experimental group which will receive a special class with the use of learning objects.
