Abstract
A presente monografia desenrola-se sobre o insucesso académico na disciplina
de Análise Matemática I no ISPJPB concretamente na fase de transição do ensino
secundário para a universidade na perspetiva dos docente e dos discentes, segundo
dados recolhidos nas pautas finais entre os anos de2009 a 2013, verificamos uma taxa
de insucesso superior a 70%. O objetivo central deste estudo foi identificar os fatores
que podem estar na origem do elevado insucesso académico observado, bem como
elaborar estratégias para a redução do problema. Para tal, foram elaborados dois
questionários, um dirigido aos Estudantes e outro aos professores. O estudo contou
com a participação de 116 estudantes, sendo 77,5% do sexo masculino e 22,5% do
sexo feminino. As idades oscilam entre o mínimo de 17 anos (2 alunos) e um máximo
de 43 anos (1 estudante) (M=22,7; DP= 5,19); das 4 licenciaturas selecionadas para o
estudo no ISPJPB, no ano letivo 2013/2014. Este número de estudantes, corresponde
aproximadamente a 10% da população de indivíduos inscritos na disciplina. Analisando
a distribuição dos alunos que constituem a amostra em função do curso, verificamos
que grande parte encontrava-se a frequentar o cursode Engenharia Eletromecânica.
Dos 5 professores que participaram no estudo, 3 eram do sexo masculino e 2 do sexo
feminino, a média de idades é (M =39,4 ; DP= 8,67).Relativamente às habilitações
académicas, na totalidade houve predominância do grau de licenciado, quanto ao
tempo de serviço, os docentes têm mais de 10 anos .No que se refere ao tempo de
docência em AMI constatamos que a maioria dos intervenientes tem menos de 10
anos de serviço. Para este estudo, optou-se pela metodologia quantitativa, de
natureza descritiva, os inquéritos dirigidos aos estudantes, eram compostos por 20
questões, das quais 12 de resposta fechada e 8 de resposta semiaberta. Já os
inquéritos destinados aos professores eram compostos por 11 questões.
Na opinião dos estudantes os resultados revelaram que, as principais causas de
insucesso académico em AMI relacionam-se com o próprio estudante, a saber: as
expectativas criadas, motivação e o tempo dedicado ao estudo, já os docentes,
apontam como principais causas de insucesso em AMI, as que se relacionam com os
próprios estudantes tendo os mesmos focado principalmente na falta de dedicação e
na má preparação que trazem do ensino prévio. Este estudo, também revelou uma elevada diferença entre os requisitos necessários para compreender o programa da
disciplina de AMI e os conhecimentos adquirido pelos alunos durante o ensino
secundário ser um dos fatores que causa insucesso.
The main objective of this study was to identify factors that may be the cause of high academic failure observed as well as develop strategies to reduce the problem; to this end, two questionnaires have been prepared,one aimed at students and to the teachers. The study had the participation of 116 students, and 77.5% were male and 22.5% female. The ages range between a minimum of 17 years (2 students) and a maximum of 43 years (one student) (M = 22.7, SD = 5.19); of 4 courses were selected for the study in ISPJPB during the school year 2013/2014. The number of students is approximately 10% of the population enrolled in thediscipline. Looking at the distribution of students in the sample, we found that the course of Electromechanical Engineering was the most representative. Of the five teachers who participated in the study, three were male and two female, the average age is (M = 39.4, SD = 8.67). Regarding to the qualificationsthe teachers had predominated the licentiate degree, and mostly had less than 10 years of service lecturing Mathematic Analysis I For this study, we opted a quantitative and descriptive methodology, , the surveys of students, consisted on 20 questions, of which 12 was closed answer and 8 semi-open response. The survey for teachers consisted of 11 questions. In the opinion of students, the results revealed that the main causes of academic failure in AMI are those that are relate to the student himself, namely: the expectations created, motivation and the time devoted to study. Teachers indicated that the main causes of failure in AMI, was relatedto the students themselves with the same focused mainly on the lack of commitment and poor preparation that bring the previous school. This study also revealed a high difference between the requirements to understand the curricula of AMI and the knowledge acquired by students during high school.
