A importância da realização das atividades não presenciais sobre a aprovação dos discentes nas disciplinas do curso de licenciatura em matemática à distância

Abstract

The non-presencial education is a teaching methodology that is increasing in the last years. The development of new technologies makes the communication easier and the distance between student and teacher smaller. Various institutions of teaching has invested in this learning technique because of its facility in respect of time and space. But, as all type of education, the non-presencial education has some issues in measuring student's learning. Alternative activities developed at home, with computacional supporting, and tutors and classmates helping can stimulate the learning. This monograph was written based on these facts and the data collected of the students of Non-presencial Mathematic programme of UFU that developed these activities. The aim of this monograph is measure how much alternative activities contribute for student's approval in the programme. For such thing, techniques of logistic regression were used to create a model that classifies students as approved or reproved based on the number of activities done by them and analyse the odds ratio of students who do the activities for that who don't do. In all modules analysed, the chances of success of a student increases as he has done more activities. This shows the importance of realization of these non-presencial activities.
