O pacote Shiny na criação de applets para o ensino de Funções Matemáticas e Estatística Descritiva na Educação Básica

Abstract

Currently we are facing with fast technological advances and the use of applets in the teaching-learning process is a way to bring them to the educational environment. Among several advantages, this can promote dynamism during classes and contribute to the student’s cognitive development. In this work we use the Shiny R package while creating apps for teaching mathematical functions and descriptive statistics. Applications are presented and can be accessed by teachers and students through computers, smartphones and tablets, in or out classroom. Furthermore, codes are made available at http://shiny.rstudio.com/tutorial/, so teachers can modify and/or create their own applications, providing a more playful and interactive teaching environment.
