Objetos de aprendizagem interativos: recurso digital no formato de vídeo para apoiar o ensino de Trigonometria

Abstract

The advances in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) changed the way we interact, consume content and learn. In this context, digital resources such as videos have been gaining prominence in Education, especially with the growing demand for online classes and remote teaching. Among the Mathematics contents, Trigonometry is present in several areas such as engineering, physics, among others, with undeniable importance. On the other hand, teachers and students face difficulties when teaching and studying this content as it involves abstractions that are difficult to understand in high school. Assuming that digital resources with interactivity can assist in this process, and given the importance of teachers having access to teaching proposals and technological tools to aid in teaching and learning process with focus on students' active participation, this qualitative research aims to investigate how the Learning Objects (LOs) in video format combined with the interactivity features can assist teachers in teaching trigonometry in high school. To investigate the research question, eight interactive LOs were developed in video format to teach Trigonometry in High School, which were part of an experiment carried out with educators from different regions of Brazil through the online course “Trigonometria Help”. The course's purpose was to provide the opportunity for educators to learn how to use interactive LOs, to understand the interactivity possibilities that the H5P tool creates, and assess the quality and feasibility of using LOs in classes. The results indicate that interactive LOs can assist teachers with Trigonometry teaching in High School in distinct pedagogical contexts, highlighting the quality and feasibility of using interactive LOs and also the importance of continued formation courses for teachers, providing access to new digital resources and educational initiatives that can foment moments of reflection and teaching transformation.
