Abstract

This study delves into the Brazilian educational landscape by examining the practical application at the Federal Technological University of Paraná, campus Pato Branco. Throughout the second semester of 2023, four classes of Differential and Integral Calculus 1 were closely monitored, with four professors actively engaging in teaching and facilitating learning. The observation encompassed various teaching activities, including the duration spent by professors at the board, students tackling exercises independently, and whole-class discussions. Moreover, the professors' perspectives were captured through a questionnaire gauging the frequency of specific teaching methods and their perceived efficacy in enhancing student learning outcomes. By shedding light on pivotal elements like time allocation for problem-solving and the potential for student-centered instruction, this research seeks to inspire and guide transformative changes within the Brazilian educational framework, particularly in the realm of Engineering courses.
