Deficiências na formação do conhecimento matemático dos alunos ingressantes da graduação do curso de Administração.

Abstract

Mathematics is one of the main ways to get answers by using your objectivity to solve problems in companies and organizations. It is present in most of the disciplines that integrate the curricular structure of the administration course, considering that the structure developed to formulate the contents and materials that compose curriculum is fundamental for the development of a qualified professional, developing the conception of knowledge, Logical and deductive reasoning. In view of the above, this work had as general objective to identify the deficiencies in the formation of mathematical knowledge of students entering the Administration course, period 2017.1, Federal University of Campina Grande - UACC / CCJS / UFCG, Sousa-PB campus. The study consisted of qualitative and quantitative field research, of an exploratory and descriptive nature, and a questionnaire composed of objective questions was used as a data collection tool, with multiple choices according to the students' perception of their level Of evidenced knowledge. The questionnaire, evidenced a correlation with the deficiencies in the formation of the mathematical knowledge of the incoming students of the above mentioned course. It has been noticed that there is concern about the student's selfconfidence, his abilities and interests in relation to mathematics. The questions of the test presented a possible relation to the deficiencies, where it was possible to identify the mathematical areas with the greatest deficiencies: In numerical terms, the problem questions related to the subjects of the elementary school presented a low level of correct answers in relation to the direct subjects of the subjects approached. Still based on the test, related to the subjects of high school, in numerical terms the errors excelled to the correct ones. Considering the scenario presented and considering the importance of developing a qualified professional in the area of administration, the mapping of these demands is fundamental for solutions to be suggested.
