Formação docente em Matemática: um olhar sobre a abordagem tecnológica nos currículos das licenciaturas em Matemática da UAB

Abstract

In the present research we seek to investigate the insertion of the topic Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the training of graduates in Mathematics in the distance modality of the courses offered by the Open University of Brazil. The question generating the research was: “How does the formation of the Mathematics teacher about the use of Information and Communication Technologies in Mathematics Degree courses offered by the Open University of Brazil?”. The methodology chosen for the research was a survey of data, bibliographical and documentary research, characterized as descriptive exploratory. For the theoretical basis, authors were selected in a literature review, which discusses the themes and accordingly, present concepts and data such as the current Teacher Training in Mathematics and the insertion of the topic ICT in the curricula of the degrees, the use of Technologies (EAD) and relevant peculiarities and the Open University of Brazil (UAB), characteristics and presentation of information about the universities located in the Brazilian regions that offer the Degree in Mathematics in the distance modality, and data on number of poles, location and number of students. In order to obtain data related to the use of Information and Communication Technologies in the curriculum of Mathematics Undergraduates, we applied a questionnaire to Coordinators of Undergraduate Mathematics Courses offered in the distance modality by Open University of Brazil, selected according to the number of university graduates, as well as analyzing some of the grades and disciplines of said courses. With the analysis of the data of the sample carried out in the researched universities verified in the curricular matrices, we conclude that there is pedagogical approach in the subjects of the degrees in Mathematics by Open University of Brazil related to the use of Information and Communication Technologies, aiming to provide pedagogical background to future Mathematics Teachers in the use of these in the exercise of the profession.
