O uso do GPS como recurso pedagógico para o estudo de elementos da Geometria Analítica

Abstract

This paper presents and analyzes a possibility of teaching analytic geometry using GPS as a pedagogical resource. The development of this research begins with the study of some theoretical frameworks that relate to the "pedagogical content knowledge", the "technological and pedagogical content knowledge" and "school mathematics". The research was conducted in school with a group of the Ist year of hight school where the researcher has developed, with the presence of the teacher of school, a sequence of previously scheduled activities. The classes were recorded in audio, included the comments of the reasearcher comments. Our analysis consider the proposed class in the perspective of school knowledge and enhancing the use of technology, which was adequate to the class in the view of the teacher and the students agreed to participate. The proposal was very well accepted by the students, supported by the teacher who showed admiration for the interest of the class and found that the result understanding of knowledge in relation to Analytical Geometry. This experiment confirms the importance and at the same time, the difficulties of thecnology use in education. In conclusion, we show proposal for classe about the GPS for theach Analytic Geometry.
