Abstract

VIEIRA, André Ricardo Lucas. Conceptual maps in teaching mathematics: experience in youth and adult education. Rev. Exitus [online]. 2020, vol.10, e020089.  Epub Mar 28, 2022. ISSN 2237-9460.  https://doi.org/10.24065/2237-9460.2020v10n1id1230.

This study analyzes the conceptual map as a learning strategy in the teaching of mathematics. It considers the map as an enabling element of meaningful learning according to Ausubel's theory (2003). It aims to understand how students in a class, in the High School modality of Youth and Adult Education, manage to learn polygons from the use that the teacher makes of the conceptual map as a didactic teaching strategy. The research involved eight students from a public school in the interior of Bahia. It is a qualitative based study that analyzes and describes phenomena of human subjectivity such as learning. The method in which the study was developed is the case study, using the questionnaire and observation as data collection devices based on the realization of a workshop that involved the construction of maps. The study evidenced, among other things, that the conceptual map allows an understanding of contents in the area of mathematics, favoring the student the condition of organizing the learned content, in order to perceive the hierarchical and structural relations of meanings and concepts that involve a determined content in mathematics, in the present case of this work, polygons.

Keywords : Conceptual map; Meaningful learning; Mathematics.
