Tecnologias na sala de aula de matemática: resistência e mudanças na formação continuada de professores

Abstract

In this investigation, I search for an understanding of how resistance and change of the subject relate to each other, from the point of view of Activity Theory (AT). Subject refers to the mathematics teacher who aims at incorporating computers in his practice. The research was conducted in the context of in-service Mathematics teachers training process. Data was collected through the years 2005 and 2006. The perspective of AT allowed to take the focus out of a so called technological innovations resistant subject. All participants of the group collectively reorganize themselves articulating resistance and change in response to internal contradictions of the activity system formed when the teachers training process meets the teachers classrooms practices.
