O ensino da lógica na educação básica: uma pesquisa com professores sobre os conhecimentos e a aplicação da lógica na rede estadual de ensino em um município do sudoeste do Paraná

Abstract

The present study aims to analyze which knowledge and practices are adopted in school environment in relation to mathematical logics and logical reasoning. In its methodological approach the lines of qualitative and quantitative research were discussed and it was opted for qualitative research by means of the analysis of questionnaires applied to volunteers. Three questionnaires were applied to teachers of the State Education Network in a city of southwestern Paraná, who teach mathematics for the final grades of Elementary and / or High School. By means of this research it was possible, by way of inference, to observe that all the teachers who allowed themselves to be surveyed have had experience in the area in which they work and, regardless of that, have superficial knowledge about the subjects researched. It was also possible to observe a lack of concern on the part of the curriculum regarding the teaching of logics within the mentioned levels of education and the curriculum of Mathematics undergraduation.
