CONTINUING TEACHER EDUCATION COURSES OF COMPUTATIONAL RESOURCES IN THE TEACHING OF MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS: CREATION, APPLICATION AND STUDY

Abstract

Research indicates that the use of the computer can become an ally in the cognitive development of students, allowing them new ways of thinking and acting. However, this potential has not yet been fully integrated into everyday Brazilian school practice. Considering this context, we aimed to investigate how continuing teacher education courses, involving the use of computational resources in the processes of teaching and learning of Mathematics and Physics can impact the pedagogical practice of teachers. We have developed and are executing two projects with interconnected actions, allowing the oriented work with several teachers and international collaborators. The main objective is the inclusion of computational resources in the processes of teaching and learning. The main expected results is that the actions developed will stimulate and encourage more teachers to use technology in their classrooms, allowing students to experience new experiences in Mathematics and Physics.
