O ensino das funções logarítmicas com o uso do aplicativo GeoGebra

Abstract

This Essay deals with the teaching of logarithmic functions with the help of the GeoGebra application. This research made it possible to know the impact of the aid of technologies with the use of GeoGebra in a classroom of the 1st year of High School at Escola Militar Tiradentes IV in the city of Caxias - MA, through the realization of an intervention workshop with 20 students. The general objective of the research was to understand the teaching of logarithmic functions using the GeoGebra application. With an action-research methodology and a quantitative-qualitative method, data were collected and analyzed. Among the quantitative results presented, 60% of the students knew some technological tool that helps in the study of mathematics, 35% considered the help of technology necessary, but 85% did not know the GeoGebra application. As for the qualitative data, the results showed the difficulties faced by the students, such as traditional classes and the difficulty in understanding of the mathematical language. From the intervention, based on building knowledge together with the students and combined with the use of the GeoGebra application, carried out in the workshop, it was concluded that associating the teaching of logarithmic functions with the use of the GeoGebra application is something tangible when promoting closer classes of the students' reality, contextualized and with an interdisciplinary character in which the student is a participant in the construction of knowledge
