Decodificação de conceitos matemáticos em avaliações: explorando a lógica matemática e estratégias afetivas

Abstract

In this master’s dissertation, we will present strategies to enhance the understanding of mathematical concepts during assessments, through the introduction of Mathematical Logic to students in an affective manner that goes beyond the discipline itself. We will address traditional models of assessment and highlight the difference between Formative and Summative Assessment. Next, we will examine the main national exams that exert influence on the school environment, encouraging students to set achievable goals. We propose assessment models that assist students in decoding mathematical concepts, understanding the questions clearly, and identifying appropriate approaches to solve them. Additionally, we will emphasize the importance of an affective approach in assessment, seeking to create a stimulating environment that promotes student engagement. To achieve this, we propose the introduction of thematic games that address mathematics, reflection on the learning process itself, and the development of creative solutions to mathematical challenges. Our goal is to enhance the understanding and application of mathematical concepts, as well as improve the assessment process in the discipline. To accomplish this, we will adopt practical strategies and present examples of proposed assessment. We will also highlight the benefits of this approach for both the assessor and the assessed.
