A sala de aula invertida e a interdisciplinaridade da Matemática e Geografia no ensino médio.

Abstract

This article focuses on a case study about the flipped classroom based on interdisciplinarity and possible difficulties and challenges in teaching Geography and Mathematics, due to the obstacles found in reading and interpreting graphs in their content in the 1st year of High School, Food Course at the Instituto Federal do Amapá-IFAP. The research has a qualitative approach, where the guiding question is: What are the difficulties that 1st year IFAP students have when reading and constructing graphs in the subjects of Geography and Mathematics? Thirty-eight students participated in this research. Data collection was carried out through observations in three moments: the first moment refers to the theoretical class and the understanding of a graph; the second moment, the reading and interpretation of the data through the delivery of a text of a geographic nature and an exercise; and the third moment in the interpretative construction of the graphs, individually, based on the data extracted from the proposed text. After the construction, a conversation was held about the main aspects related to the activity: degree of difficulty; graphic comprehension; the influence of the use of graphs for textual comprehension, content comprehension and graph construction. The results reveal that students point to the need for interdisciplinary activities that dialogue with their contents, such as in Geography and Mathematics, facilitating understanding, since there was a significant elucidation on the theme. Therefore, Geography in various contents uses mathematical concepts and languages, such as graphic language, which is a type of communication that has graphs, images and mathematical expressions to transmit reflections, ideas and observations. Therefore, interdisciplinarity combined with the disciplines favored a greater understanding of the proposed contents and themes, enabling teaching and learning appropriate to the student.
