O impacto da pandemia na aprendizagem da matemática na turma do 1º ano Instituto Federal do Amapá - Câmpus Macapá

Abstract

During the pandemic period, face-to-face classes were suspended as a result of Covid-19, which created a great challenge for students in the learning process. In view of this, the general objective of this work is to carry out a study on the impacts arising from the pandemic period on the learning process in the Mathematics discipline in 1st year high school classes at the Federal Institute of Amapá, Câmpus Macapá. This research focuses on the difficulties that students had to face during the remote teaching period, an adaptation so that classes could continue during this pandemic period. In this study, descriptive research with a quantitative approach was used, using an electronic questionnaire with 148 1st year students of the Chemistry, Computer Networks, Road, Mining and Buildings courses at IFAP, Câmpus Macapá. The three thematic axes identified in the research highlight the main difficulties faced by students during remote teaching. Firstly, difficulties in relation to Mathematics content emerge as a central challenge, increased by the already established reputation of the subject as difficult, intensified by the remote teaching process. Furthermore, the inability of students to clarify doubts due to the approach of synchronous and asynchronous classes, combined with the absence of the teacher, contributes to the complexity of learning. Difficulties related to the students themselves emerge as a critical factor, highlighting the difficulty of concentrating in remote classes, both for internal reasons and external factors. Finally, the general difficulties of learning in remote teaching, including obstacles in the use of technologies and adaptation to the remote teaching model itself, complete the panorama of adversities faced by students during this challenging period, making 95.9% of students opt for in-person teaching
