Ensino de derivadas na graduação: uma análise da Licenciatura em Matemática do IFPI Campus São Raimundo Nonato.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the causes of failure in the differential calculus course with a variable (Calculus I) and its relations with understanding the concept derived. The study was through field research (questionnaires, pre-tests, interviews, intervention, post-test and data analysis), to identify the position of those involved in the teaching-learning process, test a teaching methodology based on the interpretation and applicability of content and also the literature (books, magazines, articles and others), seeking to understand the vision of other researchers on the subject. The intervention was through the partnership with the extension project entitled Differential Calculus I, Limits and Derivatives: Understanding learning difficulties to propose a new solution. Data analysis revealed a significant evolution of learning with that intervention.
