Um estudo sobre possíveis causas do desinteresse dos alunos na disciplina de matemática no ensino médio.

Abstract

This work has as Topic the students' lack of interest in Mathematics, in particular it was decided to investigate: what are the possible causes that led the students of the High School to have disinterest for the discipline of Mathematics? This work has as theoretical foundation references related to Mathematics Education and Education, as well as documents such as: Tocantins Curricular Reference, National Curricular Parameters (NCP) and others. Therefore, a survey was carried out from August 10 to August 19, 2016, which was adopted as an instrument for obtaining information: two questionnaires, one for the students and the other for the teachers of the Jorge Amado State School, In Araguaína - TO, to investigate some of the causes that may have led to the disinterest of these students by the discipline of Mathematics. In the sequence, a qualitative and quantitative analysis was carried out, based on the answers of the proposed questions, which were distributed in tables and graphs some causes that led them to the disinterest for the discipline of Mathematics, such as: the distraction With colleagues in the classroom with conversations, the use of cell phones, the lack of help from parents in school tasks and the lack of mastery of the basic content of Elementary School. Some argue that this was due to factors such as: monotonous lectures of teachers and students liking other subjects that do not require mental effort. Finally, we consider that this work may help future teachers to identify the possible causes that lead the student to disinterest for the Mathematics discipline and can stimulate them to seek solutions to lead the student to have an interest in the discipline.
