As concepções de professores ao ensinar quadriláteros nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental e as possibilidades de contribuições das TIC

Abstract

With the proposed study aimed to analyze and understand the mathematical conceptions of teachers, seeking to provide opportunities to introduce the use of Information and Communication Technologies (TIC) as an important tool of teaching practice, teaching geometry, in basic education, especially from 1st to 5th grade of elementary school. This understanding used as theoretical support the Knowledge Teachers seconds Tardif (2014), knowledge of the specific content, general educational, pedagogical content Shulman (1986, 1987) and the technological and pedagogical content knowledge seconds Palis (2010). To develop this elaborate research, execute and evaluate two distinct stages, the first conducted interviews and applied questionnaires to teachers of the Municipal Public School Network Tingling / RS active from 1st to 5th year of teaching in the second stage, from the analysis of the interviews and answers to questionnaires prepared and implemented a training workshop entitled Continuing: "The Geogebra software in Teacher Continuing Education in Teaching and Learning Quads", which was offered to all teachers of the Municipal Public School Network that city. From, analysis and discussion of the completion of these two steps we find that the teachers from 1st to 5th grade of elementary school proved to be aware of the importance of the teaching of mathematics and geometry in the early years of elementary school, however this coming up awareness in trouble arising from its initial and continuing education, lack of infrastructure and multisseriação in most schools. In addition, we realized through the implementation of the workshop, TIC, particularly the software Geogebra can contribute effectively to the organization and development of teaching practice, providing alternative techniques that enrich the Quads teaching in the early years of elementary school. It is believed that the objective was achieved, since the end of the workshop the teachers managed mediated technologies, consolidate knowledge teachers need to learn the minimum properties of outstanding quads, thus contributing, even if indirectly, to improve of student learning.
