Avaliação diagnóstica: um instrumento norteador para o trabalho docente no ensino da matemática para os alunos do 8º ano

Abstract

This work has been developed with the purpose of obtaining information about the level of learning of basic mathematics contents in 8th grade A and B at a State College of Umuarama – Paraná, about basic contents in math. In order to obtain this information it was applied a Diagnostic Test at the beginning of the school term of 2013, containing open questions and multiple choice questions, about basic contents of 6th and 7th grades, these content were based on the Mathematics Reference Matrix, contained in the PDE / Brazil’s Test . The results analysis have showed that a large number of students from both classes do not have the basic knowledge expected for more than the half of the presented questions, leading to the need of reflection on possible pedagogical interventions that can supply these difficulties presented by the students.
