Matemática e Música: uso de paródias como ferramenta de ensino e aprendizagem em Matemática

Abstract

The present study refers to the Course Completion Work presented to the State University of Maranhão. The main objective of this research is to investigate whether the use of Music, through parodies, could help in the process of teaching and learning Mathematics. The choice of theme is justified because parodies are an attractive and fun way to attract students' attention. This is a descriptive investigation, carried out with 3rd grade high school students at the state school Centro de Ensino Maria do Socorro Coelho Cabral. To collect data, field research was carried out through a practical class and then the application of an online form with students and a questionnaire with teachers who work in the morning shift at that institution. Furthermore, the lyrics of the parodies exposed in the practical class were analyzed. After the survey, the data was analyzed using the qualitative-quantitative method. As a result, the results obtained showed that students found it easy to learn song lyrics, many had never used parodies, but were receptive to their inclusion in classes. The teachers agreed that Music can be used in Mathematics education, highlighting that it is a method that will not replace the usual teaching methods but will serve as a complement
