Literacia probabilística e ferramentas tecnológicas no ensino de probabilidade no 7º ano do ensino fundamental

Abstract

This work is part of a Master’s research developed in the Graduate Program in Mathematics Education at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora and focuses on the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Mathematics Education, with emphasis on the promotion of probabilistic literacy. The objective of the research is to analyze the use of Artificial Intelligence, especially ChatGPT, in the teaching of Probability in Basic Education, in order to enable the development of Probability activities on the ChatGPT platform aimed at the 7th grade of Elementary School. It seeks to understand how Basic Education teachers can use AI tools to foster the development of students’ probabilistic literacy. The methodology adopted is based on the assumptions of Didactic Engineering, allowing the investigation to be structured in stages that involve preliminary analysis, design, and implementation of an Educational Product focused on teacher education, considering that not all phases of this methodological framework were contemplated in the present study. As part of the investigative process, a Systematic Literature Review was carried out, with a time frame from 2021 to 2025, focusing on studies that address the integration of digital technologies in the teaching of Probability. The results indicate that the use of AI, especially through tools such as ChatGPT, can expand pedagogical possibilities in the teaching of Probability by promoting personalized learning and making activities more interactive and contextualized. However, the effective integration of these technologies requires teachers to be prepared to deal with their limitations and ethical implications. Thus, the research points out that the critical and well-planned use of AI has the potential to strengthen students’ probabilistic education and enrich teaching practice in the context of Mathematics Education.
