Abstract

The exclusive use of traditional methodologies in Mathematics classes can generate significant difficulties and a lack of understanding on the part of students in relation to the content covered. This scenario often results in lack of interest and low academic performance. To overcome such challenges, the implementation of Active Methodologies emerges as a diversified strategy to meet varied learning needs, promoting greater student engagement. This study, carried out in a public high school in Macaé, investigated the application of Active Methodologies and their impacts on the teaching and learning of Mathematics. Using quantitative and qualitative approaches, the research included questionnaires administered to teachers and students in the 3rd year of high school. The results indicated that Active Methodologies contribute to greater interaction and understanding of content, in addition to stimulating critical thinking. However, the need for more frequent adoption of these practices was also highlighted, pointing to the importance of specific training for teachers.
