Criatividade e resolução de problemas: aspectos mobilizados durante o ensino-aprendizagem de matemática

Abstract

The general objective of this research is to analyze which creativity aspects are mobilized by students, and how they are used in a Problem Solving workshop developed in a remote way. The problems implementation occurred in five synchronous meetings through Google Meet and Microsoft Teams, and by using asynchronous activities through Google Classroom, and problems discussion by WhatsApp message app. The research approach is qualitative, and the participants were 19 students of 7º graders of Elementary School from a pioneer school in the north of Paraná. The methods used to data production were documental analysis and participant observation. Data were registered through the recording of synchronous meetings and of audio of discussion sent in the app of message, by the researcher's field diary and by the individual and group productions of the proposed problems. Based on research data and theorical references it was observed the fluency aspect, as participants use measures of ability to represent ideas that were initially algebraic; of flexibility, as they perform the addition operation to handle multiples; that original responses are characterized by those show in a minor frequency; that the evaluation is decisive when selecting ideas that will be presented in the plenary and that the redefinition was mobilized, in the groups, at the moment when the students discussed the individual contributions. An educational product was developed as a results of the Professional Master Degree, in order to assist the mathematics teacher who want to explorer the theme, and invite him to propose from a mathematical problem with creative potential to a workshop on Creativity in Mathematics.
