Paper Abstract:
|
Since 1989, the Mathematics Education Project (PmatE Projecto Matemática Ensino) has developed several strategies to increase the interest and improve the success of students in Mathematics. PmatE developed a platform of computer aided education (PCA), currently available only in the internet, including all grades since primary school. The main goal of this platform is to support teaching, being a tool that allows: the management of the groups involved; the elaboration of tests; the research of student performance; the analysis of results and other functionalities of management. The developed programs are a tool to support education, evaluation and learning. Its presented a case study with Science Food Engineering students. The major goal of the study is to evaluate the impact of the platform of computer aided education (PCA) developed for the PmatE in the learning of mathematical subjects at the University level. This paper describes how it is conceived as well as the main results. |
