ResumoForam analisadas relações entre uso do computador, motivação e desempenho em prova de conteúdos de matemática em estudantes do ensino fundamental. O delineamento foi quase experimental, com um grupo experimental e dois de controle. No pré-teste foram avaliados o conhecimento de conteúdos matemáticos e a motivação para vir à escola, por meio da Escala de avaliação da motivação de alunos do ensino fundamental. Na intervenção, o grupo experimental projetou e construiu jogos empregando o computador; o grupo controle 1 fez somente exercícios com lápis e papel (ambos com acesso aos tutoriais); e o grupo de controle 2 assistiu às aulas habituais. Ao fi nal todos os participantes foram avaliados pela segunda vez acerca do conteúdo e da motivação, com os mesmos instrumentos utilizados no pré-teste. Passados 30 dias, os participantes do grupo controle 1 e do grupo experimental fi zeram nova prova dos conteúdos de Matemática trabalhados durante a intervenção. Os resultados mostraram que os alunos do grupo experimental tiveram ganhos na qualidade motivacional quando comparados ao grupo de controle 2, indicando que o uso do computador tem importantes implicações para o engajamento e persistência dos alunos em tarefas acadêmicas. Palavras-chave: Ensino fundamental, motivação, computador, aprendizagem. AbstractRelations between the use of computers, motivation and performance of elementary school students in mathematics contents had been analyzed. It was used a quasi-experimental design with an experimental group and two control groups. In the daily pre-test, the knowledge of mathematics contents and the motivation to go to school were evaluated. The experimental group (EG) projected and constructed games using the computer; the control group (CG 1) only worked with pencil and paper (both with access to tutorials); and the control group (CG 2) attended regular classes. In the ending of the study every participant was evaluated for a second time regarding the content and the motivation, with the same instruments used in the daily pre-test. Thirty days later, the participants of CG 1 and EG were once again evaluated regarding mathematics contents which had been worked during the intervention. The results showed that the pupils of the EG were better motivated than the ones of the CG 2, indicating that the use of the computer has important implications for the engagement and persistence of students in academic tasks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
