Ensino de perspectiva a partir do olhar matemático: um estudo de caso baseado na Igreja de São Francisco em Ouro Preto

Abstract

The scientific community has considerably expanded research revolving around the importance of technology in mathematics teaching, something highly visible in today’s innovative practices known as mobile learning. Therefore, this dissertation, titled Teaching perspective from a mathematical view, by means of a case study, intends to think the relationship between art and mathematics. Taking as its object of study the São Francisco de Assis Church in Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais, a conceptual framework was created by choosing perspective-related contents which were studied while focusing on the roof of the church. Instigated by its beauty, we have considered pedagogical possibilities which can help students to develop the way they look at a work of art, so they will see beyond the paints, detecting math in the forms and reading the picture mathematically. As a mathematics educator, challenged by classroom demands, we have proposed to think alternatives that could conjugate mathematics teaching and arts, mediated by technology, aiming at transforming the school into a pleasurable space for learning. Thus, he targeted towards combining Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) aiming to awaken the sutudent’s interest to see the works orf art under the mathematical bias. The idea is to problematize the way they look, conjugating elements of plane and spatial geometry. As a study proposal, an application was developed by reseacher, supervisor, and a programmer whose aim of which was to reflect on mathematics teaching in a pleasurable way and help teachers offering them pedagogical resources that help students in order to reed the work of arts under look mathematical. As a result, we present two pedagogical products: the application itself and activities of field that were developed with students. The application was tested and evaluated by mathematics teachers, and it as possible to verify the possibility of the mARTmatica app to presente activities of geometry in environment in which the tecnology is a great ally that allows to recreate pedagogical possibilities while teaching mathematics creatively, innovatively and, therefore, avoiding fragmentation of the construction of knowledge. The evaluation of the tool made by the teachers was fundamental for improvement and to know the demands came from this public qhen they work to solve questions involving art, mathematic and tecnology.
