Conhecimentos revelados por professores em um curso de formação continuada para a utilização de objetos de aprendizagem

Abstract

The use of information technology is present in many environments, including the educational environment. This background, this research aims to an analysis of the knowledge revealed by mathematics teachers in a continuing education course to use learning objects available in the repository M3 Multimedia Mathematics as a technology for teaching geometry. Through the methodology of Narratives, the teachers were able to report their concerns and expectations the teaching of geometry, continuing education, learning objects and use of technologies. As a theoretical contribution, this research is based on the ideas of Shulman on Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) and the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK), Mishra and Koehler revealed by teachers over the meetings of the studying group. In the analysis of the narratives of teachers it was found that pedagogical knowledge combined with the knowledge of the curriculum was important in the choice of learning objects, as when selecting such resources were needed such knowledge as well as aspects of pedagogical and technological knowledge so that they could infer and justify their choices. The results of this study indicate the need to invest in teacher education for the use of technological resources in the school, once the teacher recognizes the importance of these resources in the learning process, but does not know or does not know how to conduct on the technologies. Another aspect highlighted is the fact of teachers being receptive regarding courses to complement their initial education
