Ensino de probabilidade no fundamental anos finais com o jogo dos discos: análise e reflexões sobre a prática em sala de aula

Abstract

This work investigates the effectiveness of the Discs Game in teaching Probability for Elementary School Final Grades, intersecting a practical classroom application with elements announced by academic research in recent years. In this sense, the question that guides our research is: How can a classroom application of the Discs Game contribute to the understanding of probabilistic concepts in Elementary School Final Grades? Our main objective was to analyze how the game can contribute to the understanding of probabilistic concepts. This research is based on a qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive approach; it was conducted in a 9th-grade class, involving about 20 students in the city of Valença-BA. The methodological approach focused on bibliographical research, carried out on the portal of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) and on the observation of the Game's application. In the practical results, a high level of student engagement was observed, as well as the importance of teacher mediation to turn divergences into learning opportunities. The study points to evidence that the Discs Game is an effective didactic resource.
