O uso de softwares educacionais no ensino de Geometria: revisão sistemática sobre as estratégias e desafios na educação básica

Abstract

The use of technological tools in the teaching of Geometry is one of the fundamental topics to be discussed and explored in Mathematics Education. This article presents a systematic literature review on the integration of educational software in Geometry teaching. The aim of this study was to investigate how educational software can contribute to the teaching and learning process of Geometry in Basic Education. To this end, twenty-five (25) academic works, including master's dissertations and doctoral theses, were analyzed through both vertical and horizontal analyses, highlighting three categories of interest. The results reveal challenges ranging from teachers' limited versatility in applying educational software in Geometry teaching to the implementation of diversified and dynamic approaches that can enhance the development of geometric concepts during the teaching–learning process. It is therefore concluded that educational software used for teaching Geometry, when integrated into appropriate pedagogical practices, has the potential to promote learning and contribute to innovation in Mathematics education within Basic Education.
