Mathematics video classes produced by students: a proposal to enhance learning

Abstract

This work aimed to analyze whether high school students’ production of mathematics video classes enhances their learning. We examined how students learn function concepts when producing video classes. The research was carried out in two classes of the first grade of high school integrated into technical education in the federal network. In one class, students produced video classes, and learning was compared with that of the other class. Qualitative research was adopted, in which data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, field observation, and analysis of video classes produced by students. The video classes students created reproduced the classes they were used to watching, as they did not present innovations and/or different methodologies. Ultimately, we noticed a gain in learning with the video class production process. The students demonstrated the ability to work as a team, gained autonomy in their studies, and presented satisfactory results in the final assessments.
