O ensino dos logaritmos tendo como eixo norteador a historia

Abstract

This study aims to present the importance of the history of mathematics for teaching and learning, seeking to provide opportunities for readers to approach the topic with a historical bias, in order to understand what potential that is replaced when under a historical perspective; it would have with respect to the learning process. To achieve this goal, we conducted an analysis of four (4) textbooks, chosen by PNLD in order to see how these books had the logarithms, it was the presence of the History of Mathematics and presenting this approach as this, suggestions for authors to improve their work. Then we conducted a field study where we applied two questionnaires, one designed for teachers and another for students. In order to get the opinion of these two groups on the approach of logarithms from a bias in the history of mathematics and also to check the view that these two groups have the relationship of mathematics with its own history in loco history of logarithms, as well as open avenues for the emergence of new research. Conducted surveys present our methodology for the analysis of the same. We also made a brief analysis of dissertations related in order to make a reading that was measured and developed by colleagues who studied the same order subject. For analyze the results, we gave our suggestions to create a conclusion about the topic
