Sistemas tutores inteligentes como recurso didático no ensino da matemática

Abstract

With the advent of studies in the field of Informatics and Education, Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are gaining attention, by promoting development of computerized learning environments projects such as the Artificial Intelligence techniques (AI), the verification of range potential, highlighting the self-learning aided by computer. This paper aims to enhance the development and use of new technological tools that will contribute as a teaching resource in the teaching-learning some mathematics content, expanding possibilities and providing alternatives for students to build and produce their own knowledge. In this perspective, this project is the idea of using the computer as a tool in teaching aid. With the presentation of the prototype developed meeting the requirements of Intelligent Tutoring Systems fundamentals. Based on studies of educational software and specific features, it sought a way to materialization of the SIT, in order to provide learning activities, expanding objects that stimulate the cognitive ability of the student. In this way, he was thought to implement the SE under STI, to resolve or minimize assimilation problems of mathematical content, in which students are able to record relevant information, do exercises and tests, manage appointments and activities returns, reporting , view notes and income. This was all possible with the proposed ITS prototype, developed in JAVA language, using MySQL database to store information. Software usability analyzes were made that went through use-test and a questionnaire, which counted on the presence of three (3) teachers for evaluation. For a good evaluation a check on use of the software implementation was important because even after experienced by participating teachers, contributed to analyze all the software possibilities inability to achieve your goal. It is expected today that the pedagogical practices are articulated to technology, and the teacher has an important role in promoting new forms and teaching methodologies.
