Os desafios mais recorrentes encontrados pelos acadêmicos de licenciatura em matemática na modalidade EAD

Abstract

It is known that many students have experienced difficulties in learning some subjects, especially when it comes to mathematics, which is often seen as a difficult subject to learn. Currently there are some forms of teaching, such as in-person, blended and Distance Education (EaD), which appears in Brazil as a way to reduce geographic distances and educational inequalities. Based on this, the study aims to show which are the most recurrent challenges encountered by academics of the degree in mathematics offered via EaD. To carry out the study, research was carried out in articles published in journals and other studies, such as dissertations, theses and monographs, thus a survey of more than 78 documents was carried out, all with themes and contents related to research, addressing issues about the discipline mathematics, teacher training in this area, and so on. Based on the results obtained, it can be noted that a degree in mathematics has a low supply of mathematics courses both on-site and in EaD. And that the challenges of educating a mathematics teacher both in person and at a distance has not been an easy task. With the study, it is also noted that one of the most recurrent challenges of a degree in the EaD modality is the evasion of academics from the course. However, this is not the only difficulty faced, as there is also a change in mentality, professional training and the use of technologies that are necessary in the modality, as many are not very familiar with digital media. In this way, the possibilities of overcoming difficulties are related to helping students to get used to the platform, developing academic projects in the EaD modality, as well as improving the students' affinity with the use of technologies, which can be done through courses specific. Therefore, it is clear that this theme is of paramount importance since there are many difficulties faced by EaD students, not to mention that the study can provide both in society and in the academic world the knowledge of these challenges and possibilities to overcome them
