The Subject

One of the most obvious facts about mathematics in our secondary schools is a very general dissatisfaction which is expressed on all sides. There is an alarming number of failures, especially in the first year of the high school, which argues that the pupils do not find the subject suited to their tastes and capacities. Instructors in the colleges and universities rarely miss an opportunity for declaring that their students came poorly prepared. The programs of teachers' meetings and the tables of contents of pedagogical journals are teeming with titles which assume that something is wrong.

Resumo: Este trabalho tem por objetivo relatar uma atividade didática, realizada no Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID), envolvendo o ensino de Astronomia numa turma do primeiro ano do ensino médio de uma escola do município de Vitória, ES. A atividade foi planejada e executada pelo subprojeto do Curso de Licenciatura em Física do IFES – Campus Cariacica. A metodologia foi baseada na Gamificação aplicada ao ensino-aprendizagem. A intervenção ocorreu em três etapas, sendo a primeira realizada em dois encontros, através de apresentações dialogadas sobre Astronomia usando slides e gifs, a segunda consistiu na aplicação da Gamificação através de um jogo e finalizando com a terceira etapa, foi aplicado um pequeno questionário. Ao final houve um momento de avaliação e as análises constataram que o ensino de Astronomia através da atividade gamificada do jogo conseguiu motivar os alunos, despertar o interesse pelo assunto e produzir indícios de aprendizagem.Palavras-chave: Gamificação em sala de aula; Ensino de Astronomia; PIBID. Gamification in astronomy teachingAbstract: This work aims to report on a didactic activity, carried out in the Institutional Program for Teaching Initiation Scholarships (PIBID), involving the teaching of Astronomy in a class of the first year of high school at a school in the city of Vitória, ES. The activity was carried out by the subproject of the Physics Degree Course at IFES - Campus Cariacica. The intervention took place in three stages, the first being in two meetings, through dialogued presentations on Astronomy using slides and gifs, the second consisted of the application of Gamification through a game and ending with the third stage, a small questionnaire was applied. At the end there was a moment of evaluation and the analyzes found that the teaching of Astronomy through the gamified activity of the game managed to motivate students, arouse interest in the subject and produce evidence of learning.Keywords: Gamification activity in the classroom; Astronomy teaching; PIBID.

The Subject

The Committee has elsewhere expressed its judgment that in the seventh eighth and ninth grades mathematics should be a required subject. In the tenth, eleventh and twelfth grades, however, the extent to which election of subjects is permitted will depend on so many factors of a general character that it seems unnecessary and inexpedient for the present Committee to urge a positive requirement beyond the minimum one for the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. The subject mnst, like others, stand or fall on its intrinsic merit or on the estimate of such merit by the authorities responsible at a given time and place. The Committee believes, nevertheless, that every standard high school should not merely offer courses in mathentatics for the tenth, eleventh and twelfth grades, but should encourage a large proportion of the pupils in its general courses to take some or all of these courses. Apart from the intrinsic interest and great educational value of the study of mathematics, it will in general be necessary for those preparing to enter college or to engage in the numerous occupations involving the use of mathematics to do work beyond the minimum requirement.

I feel that I should explain to you that my acquaintance with the work of the secondary schools is entirely second hand and it may be that my ideas on the subject of graphics in secondary work are colored by what I may wish were possible instead of being entirely true to the facts. In my own experience as an instructor of freshmen I have found but little evidence indicating previous instruction in graphics and frequently the subject is thrust suddenly upon a freshman by the immediate needs of his college work. In many cases it is looked upon as only another novelty introduced to make college mathematics a thing to be dreaded and avoided if possible. I assume that it is proper for an instructor in first-year college work to expect a greater or less degree of familiarity with graphics on the part of incoming students and from this standpoint consider the question as to what may be gained by the study of graphics in connection with all branches of elementary mathematics. The subject should appeal to teachers of mathematics for at least three reasons, first, it is the simplest of our many symbolisms for magnitudes and in the order of nature precedes all the others: second, it often appeals to certain pupils who would otherwise be uninterested: third it affords connecting links among all branches of mathematics.

<p class="Default">The aim of the study was to compare meteorological and climatological knowledge among first year students of Geography at two universities: UMCS in Lublin and Warsaw University in Warsaw. Due to the curriculum changes in secondary schools, as well as different conditions of recruiting candidates, the level of knowledge of students in the coming years, as well as in various colleges and universities, may be different. Identic surveys were conducted twice among first year students of first level full-time studies: in late November and December 2014 and in the second half of May 2015, what allowed knowledge changes evaluation at the beginning of the study and after the first year of studying geography.</p><p class="Default">The problem was a matter of self-assessment of knowledge by the respondents, as many of them are not able to correctly identify her. It was found that there was a marginal increase in the level of knowledge of students of Warsaw University and the University of Maria Curie-Sklodowska</p>

http://dx.doi.org/10.5902/2179460X14622In the light of the difficulties most first-year students at high school face regarding the learning of mathematics contents, this study proposes some activities aiming at teaching square function using the win-plot software as a tool. At the beginning these activities were designed to be applied in the first year of the PROEJA course (a high school course integrated to a technical one for adult learners) at Instituto Federal do Tocantins, however it can be useful for any student who is learning square function. The activities proposed do not intend to replace the formal and algebraic teaching of the subject, yet they aim to offer teachers and students an interesting option to build graphs in an interactive and agile way. Through graph animation tools, we intend to make some relations between the parameters and the behavior of the graph, always presenting the mathematics explanation of the relation observed at the end of the activity.

Hawaii is unique in a variety of ways. One of these is the unusual ethnic mixture that makes up its population; under traditional definitions 76% of its population is “minority” and 24% is “White.” The performance of those of its high school students who go on to the University of Hawaii-Manoa on the SAT-Verbal is higher than the national mean, and on the SAT-Mathematical it is much higher. However, the correlation of SAT scores with first year grades has decreased to almost zero since 1982 among Hawaiian students (although among mainland students at UH it is the same as the national average). In this article we provide the facts for a mystery regarding the low and decreasing validity of the SAT at the University of Hawaii among students from Hawaiian secondary schools. Moreover, while we are unable to provide a complete solution, we do eliminate one onerous suspect and provide an evocative hint.
