The present research studies the factors that have impacted the affective engagement of university students in an educational online course. It examines how the type of interaction (learner-learner, learner-instructor, and learner-content) and the type of engagement (behavioural, cognitive and affective) have influenced the affective engagement of the students in the online course. Nineteen university students majoring in teaching mathematics, who were enrolled in the course Mathematics Teaching Methods, participated in the present research. Two data collection tools were used: semi-structured interviews and reflections. To analyse the texts resulting from the interviews and reflections, inductive and deductive qualitative content analysis was used. The research results indicated that university students have experienced more positive than negative affective engagement in the three communicational channels used in this course to facilitate online learning, which were: synchronous lectures, forums and assignments. The results also indicated that these three types of interaction have positively influenced students’ affective engagement in the three channels, with that influence being different from one channel to the other based on the interaction type taking place. We suggest that specific types of engagement need to be attended to for positive affect to occur. Doi: 10.28991/esj-2021-01296 Full Text: PDF

Es frecuente escuchar en reuniones informales sobre la asignatura de matemáticas y el pasado estudiantil,  en algunos casos se suele tener respuestas que reflejan apatía a la asignatura, expresada en experiencias poco agradables, llegando hasta seleccionar carreras que no tengan que ver con números ni cálculos matemáticos. Este ha sido motivo de estudio para los autores de la investigación, quienes indagaron en estudiantes universitarios para  conocer en detalle,  si la apatía está relacionada con estudiar carreras que tengan en el currículo la menor cantidad de asignaturas que involucren las matemáticas. El objetivo de este trabajo es determinar las causas de la apatía a las matemáticas en las carreras universitarias humanísticas, para lo cual se utilizó como instrumento de investigación la encuesta a estudiantes de las universidades: Técnica de Manabí y San Gregorio de Portoviejo, en las carreras de Trabajo Social y Jurisprudencia, identificando la principal debilidad de los docentes de matemáticas el  homogenizar su metodología de trabajo, sin considerar que los grupos de estudios, y los estudiantes son distintos, añadiendo también  que realizan diagnósticos inadecuados, que los textos a pesar de traer lecturas motivadoras la actitud de los docentes no contribuyen a una verdadera motivación, generando indiferencia y rechazo a la asignatura, concluyendo que la apatía y poco entusiasmo por la asignatura de Matemática es responsabilidad metodológica de los docentes, los cuales muestran insuficiencias pedagógicas para impartir la cátedra objeto de estudio de esta investigación.  Palabras claves: Didáctica de las Matemáticas, métodos de enseñanza de Matemáticas, Motivación hacia las Matemáticas, Hábitos de estudios.   Summary Is often heard in informal meetings about the subject of mathematics and the past student, on some cases it is usually have answers that reflect apathy to the subject, express on unpleasant experiences, until you select careers that do not have to do with numbers or mathematical calculations. This has been reason of study for the authors of the investigation, who inquired about university students to know in detail, if the apathy is related with study careers that they have in the curriculum the least amount of subjects that involve the mathematics. The object of this work is determining the causes of the apathy to the mathematics in the university humanistic careers, for which the survey of university students was used as a research tool: Technical of Manabí and San Gregorio of Portoviejo, in the careers of Social Work and jurisprudence, identifying the main weakness of mathematics teachers to homogenize their work methodology, without considering that the group of studies, and the students are different, also adding that they make inadequate diagnoses, that the texts in spite of bringing motivational readings the attitude of the teachers do not contribute to a true motivation, generating indifference and rejection to the subject, concluding that apathy and little enthusiasm for the subject of mathematics is methodological responsibility of the teachers, which show pedagogical inadequacies to teach the lecture subject of study of this research.

Mathematics Teaching Methods

Functional and graphic lines are one of the foundations of mathematics teaching methods. The advantage of this line is that the study of other important lines of mathematics is carried out through the prism of the concept of function. Based on the experience of teaching mathematics, we know that the concept of function is abstract and very difficult for students to understand, so in order to enhance the visualization of the researching objects and concepts when implementing functional and graphic lines, students need to increase the system of physical content tasks for studying and understanding functions. In school course of algebra, the functional-graphical method is rarely used for solving a system of equations with two unknowns, as well as for solving equations with two unknowns. The article deals with the problems of solving problems of physical content when studying a system of linear equations with two variables in school course of algebra. The emphasis is on the fact that the considered problems with physical content are interconnected with functionalgraphic lines in algebra and allow deepening the topic, revealing the practical content. The problems with physical content presented in the article are intended for studying linear functions of algebra and their graphs, studying functions, constructing and solving equations and a system of linear equations associated with these functions.

No teaching method has evolved as much as distance education, in the state of Amazonas this would not be different, especially in higher education. Distance Education is a modality where the student is separated from the teacher and uses several communication technologies around all his learning. The methods used were bibliographic, documentary and quantitative. The researched environment was the capital city of Manaus and the municipality of Maués, with the application of the closed questionnaire aimed at higher education students. Our objective was to question certain nuances as their benefits and challenges for those who study Distance Education in the different locations of the State of Amazonas. The result was the realization that among its many advantages in the execution of education, time is considered the main one, and the loss of deadlines its greatest disadvantage, besides the concept of distance education is already well known by university students. Thus, it is well known that with the passing of time and with the progress of the state's modernization, distance education is gradually becoming the most practical means of teaching.
