Mapeamento do uso de tecnologias digitais no ensino de matemática nas escolas municipais de Juiz de Fora - MG e Três Rios - RJ

Abstract

The use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) increases significantly over the years. All sectors of society use them in a variety of ways, and the popularization of the Internet has enhanced the use of ICTs in various fields. Thus, new ways of integrating them are created, which favors the educational area, since ICTs are seen as a potential of the teaching and learning process. Given this scenario, we have the present research, which aims to map the use of digital technologies in the municipal schools of Juiz de Fora-MG and Três Rios-RJ, enabling the Education Departments, directors and teachers to have a diagnosis of how to makes use of technologies in schools, more specifically in Mathematics classes, in municipalities, and, through the results, can seek ways to improve this use. In order to collect data and reflect on digital technologies and their use in the educational process, in the schools researched, a bibliographical research was carried out on technologies in the school. Then, the field research was started for the production of the data. The methodology chosen for this research, in order to contribute to the proposal of this project, followed the precepts of Moresi (2003) in a qualitative and quantitative research, using questionnaires for the production of data. The questionnaires were applied to the directors and teachers of Mathematics that attend Elementary School II of the cities surveyed. The analysis of the data showed that there is still much work to be done, until the technological resources are used in a way that there is improvement in teaching and learning. Many obstacles were detected for the use of the technologies in the classes, among them: inadequate infrastructure; lack of technical support; and training for the use of these resources. Although permeated by obstacles, it was possible to realize that it is possible to make use of the technological resources and to awaken in the students the interest and the motivation to learn Mathematics, as long as there is commitment and disposition of the subjects involved with the education.
