O uso dos laboratórios de informática nas aulas de matemática

Abstract

The use oftechnologicalmeans as a teaching-learning tool and its action in the social environmenthasbeenincreasingrapidly. In thissense, educationhasundergone for severalstructuralandfunctionalchanges in the face of new technologies. In thisarticlewepresenttheresultsof a researchcarried out withthemathteachersofthe Zacarias de Góis StateSchool, which it istheoldestpublicschool in Teresina - Piauí. Weconductedanexploratorystudywith a qualitative approach. The informationwascollectedthroughquestionnaireswith open andclosedquestions. The objectiveofthisworkwastoinvestigatethe use ofthe Computer Laboratory in theteachingofmathematics as a learning tool, andwhichteachingmethodologiesapplied in the classes from 1st to 3rd yearof high school, byMathematicsteachers. The researchpointed out thatonlyoneteacher uses thelaboratory in their classes, theothersfeelinsecurebecausetheywerenotableto use this tool in thedevelopmentofteachinglearning, butrecognizetheimportanceofthis tool in thedevelopmentofstudentlearning.

An experimental classwasheldwiththestudentsofthesecondyearof high schoolwhere it wasrealizedtheimportanceofusingthelaboratory in mathematics classes, because it combines theoryandpractice, forming a more meaningfullearning.
