No escurinho do cinema! ERER e produções cinematográficas em aulas de matemática no ensino médio

Abstract

This dissertation deals with the Education of Ethnic-Racial Relations - EERR in the teaching of Mathematics from the use of filmography. A perspective of creating possibilities to transform mathematics classes into a privileged moment for the debate of themes such as prejudice, discrimination, racism and gender. The research had as a problem the question "What are the possibilities of using cinematographic productions to favor the implementation of EERR and the learning of mathematical content in high school classes?" and as a general objective to analyze what are the possibilities of using cinematographic productions to favor the implementation of EERR and the learning of mathematical content in high school classes, taking as a focus of the analysis the use of the film “Stars Beyond Time” for the implementation of the EERR when approaching Quadratic Function for High School classes. . A survey of different cinematographic productions was used, and in the film “Stars Beyond Time”, the Quadratic Functions content and possibilities to discuss and implement EERR in Mathematics classes were identified. For that, two specific objectives were outlined: to elaborate Investigation Scenarios that contemplate the teaching of mathematics associating it to EERR and to apply scenes that constitute the Scenario to scholarship holders from two programs to promote initial training (Institutional Program for Teaching Initiation Scholarships - IPTIS and the Pedagogical Residency Program - PRP), both linked to the Mathematics Licentiate course at the Federal University of Sergipe (Campus São Cristóvão). These participants were chosen during data collection, due to the period of social withdrawal caused by the Covid 19 pandemic and, therefore, the suspension of basic education classes across the country. This is a study with a qualitative approach, covering methodological procedures of bibliographic, documentary and exploratory nature. The bibliographic refers to the search for an approach to the theme identifying studies in the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations - BDLTD and in the annals of the National Meeting of Mathematical Education - NMME, for the period 2004-2019. The exploratory procedure refers to the survey of films with feasibility to address ethnic-racial issues and mathematical content for that level of education. The survey of documentary scope refers to current legislation regarding EERR and curricular issues for the teaching of mathematics in high school. After these surveys, we tried to elaborate Investigation Scenarios, understanding in the expression scenarios a favorable environment for the learning of mathematical contents and of African and AfroBrazilian history and culture. Although, the scenes were designed for application in classes in the first year of high school with chances of developing interdisciplinary work with other disciplines, the application of the scenarios took place in one of the workshops carried out by the integrated actions between scholarship holders of both IPTIS and PRP programs. The results show that the use of the chosen film, in which it presents human dilemmas and conflicts and, still as a backdrop, the love of Mathematics, has the possibility to develop the implementation of EERR in the teaching of Mathematics and to favor, in adolescents and high school youths to develop a look beyond the numbers, around them and through them. Keywords: Quadratic function.
