A utilização do software Geogebra no ensino da matemática: um estudo de caso em uma escola de ensino médio de Assunção do Piauí-PI

Abstract

The present work aims to investigate how the use of educational software can contribute to the teaching of mathematics in high school, with an emphasis on student\'s understanding of mathematical concepts, the development of problem-solving skills, and increased engagement with the subject. To achieve this, a study was conducted that presented various available mathematical software, demonstrating how they can be used to support teachers in developing their lessons. Among the analyzed software, GeoGebra was applied in a case study conducted at a high school. In this study, students' performance in specific skills was assessed before and after the use of the software in the classroom. The results, obtained through questionnaires, indicated an improvement in student performance, although modest, yet highly significant for the teaching-learning process. This advance, although timid, demonstrates that the integration of new methodologies, such as technological tools, can be an effective alternative to improving academic performance and making mathematics learning more dynamic and accessible. It is concluded that the search for new pedagogical approaches, combined with the use of educational technologies, is a promising strategy for improving the quality of mathematics education.
