A inserção da plataforma Khan Academy no ensino de matemática

Abstract

This paper presents a case study, whose objective was to investigate how the use of technological resources, such as the Khan Academy Platform can help in the learning process of students of the Elementary School in the area of Mathematics. In addition, the importance of developing a pedagogical practice consistent with the reality experienced, which explores the potential of TV, videos and other digital media in the school context, was highlighted. The methodology of this research consisted in proposing the use of the learning objects available in the Khan Academy by a group of students who were already participating in reinforcement classes of the mathematics discipline because they presented difficulties in assimilation of the concepts studied, or even because it is necessary to solidify this knowledge. Among other results obtained regarding learning, we can highlight that this proposal promoted mainly the autonomy of the students, who were able to draw their own learning paths with greater flexibility, since they could choose a certain theme, attend classes and practice activities according to the their own rhythm and need. And also, the teacher was able to follow the performance of each student, identifying their main difficulties and guided them when necessary.
