PROBLEMAS NO ENSINO DE GEOMETRIA: UMA PROPOSTA E ANÁLISE DA GEOMETRIA COMO DISCIPLINA NO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL ALIADA AO ENSINO DE DESENHO GEOMÉTRICO

Abstract

The teaching of geometry over time has undergone some modifications. This process triggered problems and in some moments the abandonment of the teaching of geometry and the distancing of the elements of the geometric design in the school curriculum. This situation were aggravated by the accumulation of functions that has been deposited in the school and the teachers in that period as the public policies adopted by the influence of society with an expansion of the public school. The present work aimed to investigate in a bibliographically way problems which to arise from a process that interferes or causes difficulties in the learning of geometry. Through of the applied questionnaire and the analysis of their results it was verified that, the students of the public elementary schools accumulate difficulties in assimilating the sequence of geometry contents, compromising their performance in later studies. Conscious of these difficulties and that any changes in the education system requires the appreciation of the professionals involved, a research was applied with teachers of the NRE of Guarapuava (PR). The intent was to strengthen the proposal‗s implementation of the geometry‘s discipline insertion, tied to concepts and tools of the geometric design in the curricular matrix of the public schools of the State of Paraná, more precisely in the 9th grade. The proposal was studied as the initial point to solving detected problems. As results of the research, it was obtained the agreement of the majority of teachers in the analysis of this proposal as well suggestions for its improvement and in addition a profile of the professionals of the current teaching and the students' learning in relation to the geometry discipline.
