Avaliação do impacto da OBMEP no ensino da matemática em uma turma da 3° série do ensino médio

Abstract

The evaluation of the impact of the Brazilian Mathematics Olympics for Public Schools (OBMEP) on the teaching of mathematics is a relevant and current topic in the field of education. OBMEP is an important program that promotes mathematics, aiming to awaken and stimulate students' interest in the subject. In this context, the general objective of this study is to analyze the impact of OBMEP on the teaching of mathematics in the 3rd grade of a high school in the municipality of Cocal dos Alves (PI). The specific objectives are to investigate the perception of mathematics teachers regarding the level of knowledge and skills of 3rd grade high school students before and after participating in OBMEP; evaluate the performance of 3rd grade high school students in the OBMEP exam and compare it with the results obtained in internal school evaluations; and identify possible improvements in the teaching of mathematics through participation in OBMEP. Structured questionnaires were applied to students and semi structured questionnaires to teachers in order to obtain qualitative information about motivation and possible changes in teaching methodology, as well as contributions to the teaching and learning process of school mathematics. The results showed that participation in OBMEP generates a positive impact on the teaching of mathematics in the 3rd grade of the studied high. The olympics contributed to the development of students' mathematical knowledge and skills and allowed for the identification of improvements in the teaching of the subject
