A OBMEP NO DESENVOLVIMENTO DO ENSINO DE MATEMÁTICA: Uma análise de desempenho no estado do Piauí

Abstract

In recent years, the problem-solving approach has become an important trend in the field of mathematics education and is widely researched. In this article, we seek to examine how this methodology contributes to the teaching of Mathematics, through a bibliographic analysis focused on the performance of schools and students in Piauí in the Brazilian Public School Mathematics Olympiad (OBMEP). The sources used were identified through an advanced search in the database of the Brazilian Portal of Publications and Scientific Data in Open Access (Oasisbr), which covered terms such as problem resolutions, mathematics olympiads, OBMEP and methodology, resulting in a selection of four periodicals that served as the bibliographical basis for this study. Carrying out this study is justified by the importance of the contribution of the aforementioned Olympiad in the development and expansion of mathematical knowledge among students so that the impact of this competition on the performance and learning of the students involved is understood. It is concluded that this study will demonstrate that the Olympiad studied promotes interest and improvement in the teaching of Mathematics, in addition to favoring the discovery of talents, promoting continuous training and expanding academic and professional opportunities.
