Os Fractais na formação docente e sua prática em sala de aula

Abstract

This work had as purpose to do research on the approach to the learning of geometry of the Fractals under the view of the teacher and your understanding to the development of a project didactic about the concept of Fractals. The research was done with a group of public school teachers and it was developed in two meeting. These short meetings to the formation of teachers was to show if short meetings could influence on pedagogical practice and to introduce new subsidies to teaching-learning, overcoming obstacles and offering a new possibility of appropriation of knowledge in mathematic. We have intention to make a review these works; we ll go to offer a new adventure to become the geometry more near the reality of our students and to create a real identification with the nature and the geometry, by the project didactic about the concept of Fractals that was created also to application subsequent at the students. Our work also showed that the teacher is open-minded to new suggestions, and he needs just opportunity and moments to reflect on your pedagogical practice. It s this that will try show in this work, giving a historical prospect and the importance to put in evidence the value of the geometry of the fractals to represent better the nature forms. In this first moment, we leave the calculation more complex out of the work, because the central idea is give information about this new field of mathematic, which is so interesting and dazzling
