SUMMARY:

Innovation in engineering education involves the design of a culture that is opposed to simple bureaucratic certification, with experiences in which the student has an active participation in the training process. Given this scenario, the following research question is formed: How does active learning influence the self-efficacy beliefs of Engineering students, favoring engagement to learn Basic Sciences and Mathematics? The main goal was to analyze the influence of active learning on the development of self-efficacy beliefs and student engagement in learning in Basic Sciences and Mathematics. And the specific objectives: to investigate in the teachers' teaching practice the use of active learning methodologies; investigate how students participate in activities developed through active learning; identify elements of active learning that favor the development of students' self-efficacy beliefs; identify elements of active learning that favor student engagement in activities. The overall objective was to analyze the influence of active learning on the development of self-efficacy beliefs and student engagement in learning in Basic Sciences and Mathematics.
And the specific objectives: to investigate in the teachers' teaching practice the use of active learning methodologies; investigate how students participate in activities developed through active learning; identify elements of active learning that favor the development of students' self-efficacy beliefs; identify elements of active learning that favor student engagement in activities. The theoretical framework was developed from discussions on self-efficacy beliefs (BANDURA, 1977, 1994, 1997; SCHUNK, 1995; ZIMMERMAN, 1995), active learning (BONWELL; EISON, 1991; DEWEY, 1978, 1979a, 1979b; SILBERMAN, 1996) stimulated by active learning methodologies (BERGMANN; SAMS, 2018; MORAN, 2018; VALENTE, 2018) and engineering education (BAZZO; PEREIRA, 2019; BRASIL, 2019a; BRASIL, 2019b; OLIVEIRA; ALMEIDA, 2010). Data collection occurred through the application of questionnaires and the self-efficacy scale and the performance of semi-structured interviews. The context of the study was the classes of the 1st period of the Basic Area of Admission in Engineering at the Federal University of Pernambuco and had the participation of professors and students. Based on qualitative and quantitative approaches, data analysis occurred with statistical tests and through content analysis. Among the findings of the research, the self-efficacy scale showed that students perceived themselves with average beliefs to successfully carry out the investigated activities. In the qualitative analysis, learning through the active methodology provided elements with positive and negative influences on students' self-efficacy and engagement. I highlight the application of contextualized content that motivated learning and group work, which influenced engagement in activities. It is considered that there is a correlation in which the active methodology can strengthen self-efficacy, causing motivation to learn and engage in activities. But the self-efficacy that the student already has can also enhance or cause obstacles. Thus, the way in which activities with active methodologies are experienced, the interaction they provide and the conduction of classes by the teacher are influences that deserve attention.
