Desenvolvimento da plataforma AlfaGebra e avaliação do aprendizado dos acadêmicos da disciplina de Álgebra Linear - Módulos sistemas de equações lineares e espaço vetorial

Abstract

The present work to consists in the development of an AlfaGebra teaching and learning platform for the subject of Linear Algebra and to evaluation of students’ learning through it, them being composed of three modules: linear systems equations, vector space and linear transformations, to which this module the study deals with the development of only linear and vector space systems. Each one module has theoretical concepts, exercises solved and option for the user to interact with the platform and so the system performs the calculations and show step by step the resoluts.The platform development approached the software engineering technique, composed of requirements analysis, implementation, testing and deployment and used the agile Scrum development methodology as a procedure to fulfill the requirements. Thus, the platform objective is to help the students in the learning of the subject and them to evaluate if there was improvement in that. Thus, the goal of the platform is to help academics in learning the content and from the same evaluate if it succeeded. To identify if it helped, questionnaires were applied to the students, after which they used the software, one for each module. And as a result it was possible to identify that the application contributed to students learning.
