Abstract

O sucesso escolar das crianças em Matemática é um dos objetivos mais
importantes da educação na Polónia. Os resultados da investigação relativos aos desempenhos
escolares em Matemática não são otimistas. Podemos observar baixos níveis de compreensão
das crianças sobre a utilidade da Matemática, da capacidade de utilização de estratégias
pessoais na resolução de problemas e do uso prático de capacidades matemáticas. Este artigo
apresenta a discussão deste problema num quadro psicológico e didático e analisa as causas
ligadas à prática escolar do ensino da Matemática.
