As tecnologias da informação e comunicação na formação inicial de professores de matemática em Recife e Região Metropolitana

Abstract

In this study we propose to analyze the integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in degree courses in Mathematics from Recife, and to achieve this goal we made a study of the institutions of higher education at Metropolitan Region of Recife, where there was a course of Mathematics. Inside the instituitions in research, we studied the political pedagogical projects, and in the absence, we used available information at Internet pages of training centers and the information gathered on our visits. We also research the curriculums and did two interviews, one with twelve teachers, two of each course visited, and the other with twelve students, also two of each institution, and they should be attending the 7th or 8th time course studied. In addition to research in the training center, also researched the legal requirements, under Brazilian law, which were followed by training of teachers on the integration of technology into teacher training courses. Based on studies of Bridge, balconies and Oliveira (2003), we define the technologies that we would look in undergraduate courses. The results allowed us to verify that the inclusion is still shy of technology in initial teacher of Mathematics at the training centers. We also note that in undergraduate mathematics, the technology training offered to future teachers of mathematics is much less than expected, and that such training should not be left to a discipline, but there must be an integration of technologies in all disciplines course.
