Sala de aula invertida: uma abordagem colaborativa na aprendizagem de matemática

Abstract

The aims of this research are to elaborate, apply and evaluate a Process for the implementation of the Flipped Classroom Methodology, by giving support to the collaborative learning of Mathematics. As theoretical bases, the authors who were taken in consideration for the elaboration of this Process are Munhoz (2015), researcher of this subject matter; and Jhonatan Bergmann and Aaron Sams (2016), formers of the Inverted Classroom Methodology. Concerning the theme “Collaboration”, the research was based on the Computer Supported Collaborative Learning theory (CSCL) and on the 3C Collaboration Model (FUKS et al., 2002), which is based on the idea that, to collaborate, a group must carry out three main activities: Communicating, Coordinating and Cooperating. The process was implemented in a 9th grade elementary school class and the case study methodology was used to investigate and analyze students' behavior and reactions. Through the implementation of the Process, students collaborated during the moments of online and face-to-face interaction, from the appropriation of the 3C model collaboration elements. It was also observed that the interaction between the members of the groups led them to be more independent of the teacher and, in the face-to-face moments, the students shared their own ways to understand the studied content, which has contributed significantly to the construction of knowledge. Regarding the Inverted Classroom methodology, the students have reported as positive this experience, since the availability of reviewing the videotapes at any time, as well as the fact that they had a more individualized monitoring by the teacher in the face-to-face moments, by expanding the power of teaching and learning processes. Thus, it was concluded that the proposed Process supported by Collaborative Learning activities in the Inverted Classroom can enhance the methodology. It allows students to create spaces to think about studied mathematical contents, from a more autonomous learning way. Besides motivating them to previous studies, face-to-face meetings can be enriched.
