Tecnologias móveis na formação de professores que ensinam matemática

Abstract

The present work deals with a qualitative research in the modality of a case study on the insertion of the mobile technologies (tablets and smartphones) as didactic strategy, in order to investigate how these resources favor the learning of the mathematical contents of the additive field and the multiplicative field in elementary school. The study was carried out with the students of the courses of Pedagogy and of the Degree in Mathematics in the classroom mode of the Federal University of Alagoas (UFAL), Campus AC Simões in Maceió - Alagoas, Institute of Mathematics - IM, in the Laboratory of Mathematics Teaching - LMAT. The analysis of the data was based on the work of Gerard Vernaug (2014), Borba (2014) and Bairral (2015), in order to base analyzes on the training of mathematics teachers with mobile technologies. Of official MEC Brazil documents (1997, 1998, 1999, 2002a, 2002b, 2006a, 2006b and 2015). To collect data, we used two questionnaires: direct and participative observation, field diary, interview, pedagogical workshop and course documents as didactic resource. The results obtained indicated the students' interest in the possibilities and limitations of the use of mobile technologies as teaching and learning resources, as well as the understanding of the mathematical contents of the conceptual fields worked through their participation in the discussions and reflections of the activities proposed during the workshop. In the analysis of the interviews it is indicated by the students that much of the training received is lacking a curriculum that addresses the educational context in which these individuals are inserted (digital information society), because the pedagogical practices still focus on "traditional" didactics and curriculum , Whose classes are often based on a reproduction / transfer of knowledge and not on a formation in which the future teacher acts in an innovative way and with a meaningful learning approach.
