A formação continuada de professores de matemática : uma inserção tecnológica da plataforma khan academy na prática docente

Menegais, Denice Aparecida Fontana Nisxota January 2015 (has links)
Com a inserção das Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TICs) na sala de aula, em especial a inclusão dos laptops e da internet, a formação continuada de professores constitui-se como uma das principais ações das políticas públicas em educação, conquistando espaço nas discussões acadêmicas, políticas e econômicas, com vistas à qualificação da educação brasileira. Justifica-se a escolha do tema a partir de experiências da professora-pesquisadora como formadora de professores em um curso de licenciatura em Matemática e ministrante de cursos de formação continuada, em que percebeu que, em geral, as formações não oferecem subsídios suficientes para a efetiva integração das tecnologias digitais no contexto escolar. A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar como os professores de Matemática da educação básica, em processo de formação continuada, podem aprimorar sua prática docente, levando em consideração a realidade da nova cultura digital e o conhecimento do processo de desenvolvimento da inteligência e do raciocínio do estudante. Foi realizada, em um primeiro momento, uma análise da disciplina “Tecnologias Aplicadas ao Ensino de Matemática”, presente no Projeto Político-Pedagógico do Curso de Licenciatura em Matemática de uma universidade pública federal, à luz da Epistemologia Genética de Piaget, com a intenção de, posteriormente, compreender a influência das tecnologias na prática pedagógica dos professores. Em um segundo momento, um grupo de profissionais da área da Matemática atuantes da rede pública estadual da região de Bagé participou da pesquisa, que consistiu de entrevistas, observação em sala aula e utilização da plataforma Khan Academy. A metodologia de pesquisa-ação foi implementada visando à participação da pesquisadora, com observação e ação, a fim de alcançar os objetivos propostos para chegar à teorização sobre os resultados. Observou-se, a partir dos resultados, que o curso de formação continuada proposto favoreceu a integração de tecnologias digitais no contexto escolar, promovendo mudanças na prática docente e favorecendo a aprendizagem de conteúdos de Matemática. Os professores participantes, ao final do curso de formação, mostraram-se mais confiantes e melhor preparados para utilizar os recursos tecnológicos disponíveis nas escolas, além de sentirem-se encorajados a ampliar sua utilização. O uso da plataforma Khan Academy possibilitou essas mudanças e colaborou para que despontasse um novo paradigma de ensino e de aprendizagem, no qual os conhecimentos prévios dos estudantes, suas dificuldades e potencialidades, são valorizados e considerados como princípios da prática pedagógica. / With the inclusion of Information and Communication Technologies in the classroom, especially the inclusion of laptops and the Internet, continuing education of teachers constitutes one of the main actions of public policies in education, gaining ground in discussions academic, political and economic, with a view to qualifying the Brazilian education. The choice of theme is based on experiences of the teacher-researcher as training of teachers in a degree course in Mathematics and teacher of continuing education courses, when it was possible to realize that, in general, the formations do not provide sufficient subsidies for effective integration of digital technologies in the school context. This research aims to analyze how mathematics teachers of primary education, in continuing education process, can improve their teaching practice, taking into account the reality of the new digital culture and the knowledge of cognitive development process and reasoning of the student. It was held, at first, an analysis of the course "Technologies Applied to the Teaching of Mathematics", present in the political-pedagogical project of the Degree in Mathematics from a federal public university based on Genetic Epistemology of Piaget, with the intention thereafter to understand the influence of technology in pedagogical practices of teachers. In a second step, a group of professionals working in the field of Mathematics of the state public network Bage region participated in the survey, which consisted of interviews, observation in the classroom and use Khan Academy platform. The methodology of action research was implemented aiming at the participation of the researcher, with observation and action in order to achieve the proposed objectives to reach the theorizing about the results. It was observed from the results that the proposed course of continuing education favored the integration of digital technologies in the school context, promoting changes in teaching practice and encouraging people to learn mathematics content. The participating teachers, at the end of training course, proved to be more confident and better prepared to use available technological resources in schools, and they felt encouraged to expand its use. The use of Khan Academy platform enabled these changes and contributed to the debate on a new paradigm of teaching and learning, in which prior knowledge of the students, their difficulties and potential, are valued and considered as principles of pedagogical practice. / Con la inserción de las Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación (TICs) en el salón de clase, en especial la inclusión de los laptops y de la internet, la formación continuada de profesores se constituye como una de las principales acciones de las políticas públicas en educación, conquistando espacio en las discusiones académicas, políticas y económicas, con la mirada vuelta hacia la calificación de la educación brasileña.

Mission Accepted: A Case Study Examining the Relationship of Khan Academy with Student Learning

Barrett, Geoffrey 31 October 2018 (has links)
This study examined implementing the online website Khan Academy as a primary resource for mathematics instruction. Participants were high school students aged 15-18 years enrolled in the traditional mathematics courses of Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2. A pre-test/post-test research design was implemented over the course of a six-week period of instruction. I wanted to examine whether Khan Academy was associated with positive learning outcomes over the six-week period as compared to measures of normalized growth. Additionally, I asked whether a beta program to personalize instruction on Khan Academy was associated with statistically significantly better outcomes compared to the regular Khan Academy course sequences alone. To address my questions, I randomly assigned students into treatment and comparison groups. As a measure of learning growth, I used the Northwest Education Assessment’s Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) to establish a pre-treatment baseline and again at the end of the program to measure learning growth. I compared before and after means. Overall, I found that students in both groups showed overall positive growth, statistically significantly different from normal expected growth. However, I did not find a statistically significant difference between the two groups. In terms of practical implementation, the results of this study suggest that use of Khan Academy as a primary instructional resource is associated with positive learning outcomes in this data set. Further study with larger sample sizes to confirm these preliminary results is recommended.

The transformation of plot in the couplet of the Urdu Ghazal : an examination of narrative

Liboiron, Paul Adrien January 1989 (has links)
This thesis examines a selection of verses taken from the Urdu divan of Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib. Ghalib is considered by many to be the preeminent writer of the classical Urdu ghazal (circa 1750-1850). Although the examination is restricted to Ghalib's verse, the problem it investigates is broader in nature and involves questions which some aspects of the ghazal raise with respect to the reader's involvement. An essential feature of the ghazal form is the fact that, although the ghazal poem consists of a set of couplets, each couplet of a ghazal is itself a complete text with respect to its content The question, then, is "how does the reader become involved in a form limited to two lines of text?" This thesis discusses the question from a narratological perspective: the couplet involves the reader by telling a story. The narrative of the couplet differs from what one normally thinks of as narrative in that the significance of its plot is derived, not from a series of episodes arranged in chronological order, but from a thematic continuity which links couplet to couplet within the tradition as a whole. The world of the ghazal is inhabited by a few characters, the principal being the lover and the beloved, whose behaviour and attitudes are determined largely by a set of well-defined conventions. The characters who appear in the individual couplet are already familiar from the dramas to which these characters have been subjected in previous readings of other couplets. However, unlike the characters in a traditional novel whose histories connect a great variety of events within a chronological framework, the couplet is extremely limited in term of the number of chronological connections it can establish. The depiction of time in the ghazal is radically different from the often elaborate histories presented in forms such as the novel. The world of the ghazal is merely suggested. Consequently, the reader's role in reconstructing the world of the text is of particular importance in compact forms such as that of the ghazal. The contention of this thesis is that the restrictions imposed by the couplet on plot structure has been compensated for by the cultivation of a narrative style in the ghazal text which often forces the reader to become aware of the process of discovering the drama of the text. The first chapter begins with an introduction to the thesis, and is followed by an introduction to the formal features of the ghazal text and some of the important themes of the tradition. The second chapter presents a review of critical writings in English on the Urdu ghazal. The third chapter presents a discussion of methodology. In this chapter I use Peter Rabinowitz' analysis of the reader's beliefs in my attempt to define what I mean by the reader's involvement in the world of the text. According to Rabinowitz, a fictional work invites its reader to pretend that its plot is a historical account, even though the reader knows that the world of the text is imaginary. To account for the reader's dual role, Rabinowitz divides the reader's beliefs into what he calls the "authorial audience" and the narrative audience." Briefly, the authorial audience can be viewed as the competent reader, the one who possesses the required knowledge to understand the text, to decipher its allusions, but who knows the world of the text is a fiction. The narrative audience sees the fictional text as a description of events that "really" happened. My investigation of the reader's attempt to discover the world of the text is from the point of view of the narrative audience. The third chapter attempts to apply Rabinowitz' views to some general features of the plot structure in the ghazal text. The fourth and final chapter examines the ways in which the ghazal text forces the reader to become aware of the process of discovering the world of the text. / Arts, Faculty of / Asian Studies, Department of / Graduate
