As contribuições das novas tecnologias e da formação continuada para o ensino da matemática

Abstract

This work has got as main objective to reflect about the contributions that new technologies and continuous training may offer for the teaching of mathematics, favoring educational practice. The teaching of mathematics is still conducted, by many teachers, in a mechanical and traditional way. However, the new technologies on information and communication have been raising, for their accelerated development and potential of application in educational context, becoming for teachers the responsibility for new approaches in their use in educational process, as a way to enrich and facilitate the teaching-learning process on mathematics. Therefore, it is emphasized the relevance of teachers’ continuous training, as they has been in their career for some time and those changes influence the school’s and its actors’ routine. The methodology will be held through a bibliographic research, based on the readings of authors as Perrenoud (2000), Assis (1994), Coscarelli (1999), Rocha and Campos (1993), Lévy (1987), Costa (2001), among others. It is expected that this work provokes some reflection about pedagogical practice and educators posture before the new technologies and the teaching of mathematics.
