Abordagem do conteúdo de matrizes através da utilização da criptografia

Abstract

This work aims to understand the contributions of cryptography in the construction of knowledge for the content of matrices. The study was carried out through a bibliographic survey, such as an integrative literature review, as it stands out for having a broad methodological approach. Studies related to the theme of this work were sought in the of the Professional Master's Degree in Mathematics in National Network (PROFMAT) database. Only master's theses were selected, made available online, in Portuguese and published between October 2018 and September 2020. Based on the outline of each research, the action research (66.7%) stood out, being the most used by researchers, followed by intervention proposals (33.33%), which indicates that researchers sought in the classroom to seek to know this methodology, that is, they experienced how this method, cryptography, could help in mathematics classes before the content of matrices. We can thus perceive that the application of this material can leverage stimuli to students, awakening and helping in the perspective of meaningful learning
