Desafios enfrentados pelos discentes no curso de licenciatura em matemática do IFPI - Cocal

Abstract

Over time, Mathematics has assisted different areas of knowledge, addressing many questions and needs of mankind, contributing to good human coexistence. Due to not being fully understood, this Science is often viewed in a negative connotation, hindering the learning of discipline topics. In this context, studies of the difficulties faced by undergraduate students have drawn the attention of teachers and researchers. The aim of this study is to analyze the main difficulties faced in Mathematics by students in higher education courses at IFPI Campus Cocal. The research is of an applied nature, with an exploratory descriptive character, representing the methodological procedures to be used to develop the present study and meet its objectives. Semi-structured interviews will be conducted with students regarding these difficulties they face when entering higher education courses at IFPI Campus Cocal, in order to obtain information about the teaching-learning process of Mathematics and better understand how each one faces these conflicts, both inside and outside the classroom. The findings were analyzed through the combination of qualitative and quantitative methods proposed for this study, which ultimately allowed valid inferences to be drawn about the object of study. It is hoped that the research will present new discoveries capable of outlining new action plans for the continuity and success of the Mathematics Course at Campus Cocal
