O potencial da realidade virtual e aumentada no ensino da matemática

Abstract

This work aims to investigate how the use of virtual and augmented reality can help the process of teaching and learning mathematics. It is pointed out that low performance in mathematics teaching has been a growing problem in recent years in Brazil. According to studies carried out recently by the Ministry of Education, technologies, when used in the classroom efficiently and effectively, produce statistically better results than face-to-face classes. There is also an increasing number of students using smartphones and tablets in schools. Mobile devices have gained popularity as an educational tool and there are many schools that use them frequently in educational activities to enhance learning.The recent availability of smartphones and tablets with greater processing capacity and usability, accessible on a large scale, allows an exponential expansion of social and participatory technologies on the web. It is also important to note that these students are the generation of digital games and social networks. It cannot be ignored that they are no longer the same for which the educational system was designed a few decades ago. Therefore, the guiding question of this study arises, how then could virtual and augmented reality be able to help the teaching and learning process? The choice of theme is justified because it is directly linked to the Summits of the Global Education Industry, which bring together governments and global industry leaders, with the aim of promoting education in an objective, efficient and technology-added way, so that there is success. In these guidelines, it is necessary to disseminate the idea, share concerns and cases that are being used in various educational environments around the world
