MENTAL MAPS AS A TOOL TO SUPPORT GEOMETRY LEARNING AFTER THE PANDEMIC

Mind Maps, Geometry, Post-pandemic Context, Meaningful Learning.

This dissertation organized in multipaper format addresses the evaluation of its effectiveness in the construction of mental maps of 1st year high school students in a post-pandemic context. The maps will be applied from the moment that all the content intended in the planning on a given subject is applied, thus being used to create a relationship between topics that will be necessary for a broader understanding. A bibliographic research methodology was adopted through the Systematic Review (Mendes 2020), where the popularization of conceptual maps compared to mental maps was found due to the characteristics that hinder their use in this area of knowledge, the predominance of qualitative research and mental maps being adopted for knowledge assessment. The work adopts the theory of meaningful learning by David Ausubel (1963) and Paulo Freire (1987) and memory models by theorists Richard Atkinson and Richard Shiffrin (1968) and Beddeley and Hitch (1974), which will support the future proposition application and validation of an Activity Book with the aim of approaching objects of knowledge such as flat geometric figures, area and volumes through mental maps to approach Trigonometry - Trigonometric Ratios in the 1st Year of High School.
