O uso da tecnologia da informação pelo professor de Matemática no ensino de Geometria

Abstract

This article has the purpose of verifying if the math teachers make use of information technology in teaching geometry, while underscoring the importance that geometry has in the process of teaching and learning for students of basic education. Initially presents a theoretical reference on teaching geometry and the information technology applied to the teaching of geometry, in order to contribute to the subject presented. To achieve the objectives of this paper, a survey was performed with mathematics teachers from public schools in the region of Vale do Rio dos Sinos, through a questionnaire of open questions about the use of the computer or of other information technology, by the professor of mathematics in teaching geometry. Subsequently, as from the questionnaires responses of the teachers surveyed, it was found that they believe that the use of technological resources in teaching geometry represents a valid technique for teaching and learning of geometry, and they think also that the use of information technology contributes positively to the performance of students in the classroom. However, during the research found that most mathematics teachers do not use information technology resources in their geometry classes.
