A utilização de softwares como ferramenta de apoio no ensino da matemática no Centro de Ensino Estado do Ceará, na cidade de Bacabal-MA

Abstract

Considering that digital technologies have changed all spheres of our contemporary society and are part of the daily lives of students and teachers, we researched on the use of software as a support tool in the teaching of Mathematics at the Centro de Ensino Estado do Ceará, in the city of Bacabal/ MA, in order to analyze the contributions that the use of software offers in the teaching and learning of Mathematics. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the main digital devices and software that are used by teachers in Mathematics classes at the Centro de Ensino Estado do Ceará, describe the teacher profile regarding the use of digital devices and software in teaching and learning of Mathematics and suggest several software that can be used in the study of thematic units addressed in High School Mathematics. We carried out a field research, with a quantitative-qualitative approach, through questionnaires applied to teachers and students of the educational institution and bibliographic research for the theoretical foundation of this work. In view of this, we verified that teachers and students have sufficient mastery to use digital technologies and software in the classroom, and that they believe that they contribute to the teaching and learning of Mathematics, which imposes on us the realization that the software is important pedagogical resources that promote the mediation of learning, when properly implemented by the teacher.
