SOME STUDENT CONCEPTS OF FUNDAMENTAL TEACHING ABOUT THE USE OF THE MATIFIC PLATFORM IN MATHEMATICS TEACHING

Abstract

Currently, according to the guidelines of the Secretary of Education of the State of São Paulo, in public schools in the state, fundamental education students must complete two lessons weekly on the Matific platform, which is a gamified mathematics platform. For this reason, it is the obligation of the mathematics teacher to allocate one of his classrooms to the realization of the lessons, as well as to allocate two classrooms to the discipline of Study Guidance, to also assist in the realization of the activities. Thus, as this is a new platform in the network and there has been little work on Matific in Brazil, the objective of this study was to identify considerations and perceptions raised by students of a public school in the interior of the state of São Paulo, regarding the use of the platform . The main results show that students do not like to use the platform for numerous reasons, and they find it very difficult to carry out certain activities, so they use it only because the realization of activities is part of the professor's bimonthly evaluation. Concluding, we must think about the use of this platform in the context of teaching, and how to contribute to improving the engagement and motivation of students.
