Resolução de problemas – uma metodologia no primeiro período de um curso de administração: possibilidades e limitações na prática educativa em matemática

Abstract

This work investigates the possibilities and limitations of the Methodology of Teaching and Learning Mathematics Through Problem Solving through the dynamics of problem-situations . We used examples and applications that simulate the reality of the professional activity of an administrator in Educational Mathematics practice, in the class of the first period of the Course of Administration at Machado Sobrinho Faculty in Juiz de Fora. The methodology used was action research, in which the researcher should guide the line of research according to the solution of problems or goals of transformation, through an action. The structure of action research provides a link between researchers and people in the investigated situation in a participatory manner. The results indicate a change in the dynamics of the classroom. The classes, without doubt, become involving and more dynamic. The student feels more valued, sharing the teaching and learning process.
