Abstract

The object of study of this work is to research the knowledge that mathematics teachers of the final years of elementary school II have about information and communication technologies ICT’s, as well as to know how often and how ICT’s are used in the classroom by them. Considering ICT’s in the perspective of facilitators of the learning process. Our research was carried out in three schools in the city of Itaporanga - PB, one State, one municipal and one private. This work was based on the ideas of different mathematical education scholars such as Marcelo de Carvalho Borba, Audria Alessandra Bovo, Lucélio Ferreira Simão, Renata Moro Sicchieri, José Duarte, among others, who conceive the use of ICTs as being something important for the improvement in math teaching. We proved, in this study, that there is a great need to use these tools to make the class more didactic and interesting. During the research it was possible to verify that it is possible to align the mathematics classes with the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT’s) facilitating teaching / learning, even in the face of the difficulties encountered. In the process of data collection among teachers, a questionnaire called “Use of ICTs at school” was applied, formed by open, closed and objective questions that targeted all the professors of the classes of the educational institutions selected for this research. This questionnaire was divided into two parts. The first sought to inquire about knowledge and use of ICT. The second part consisted of a set of items that covered three areas: Attitudes, Training and Conditions. The research was conducted at the Municipal School EMEIF Santa Monica located at Rua João Silvino da Fonseca, S / N, Bairro Xique-Xique, at the State School E.E.E.F. Simeão Leal located at Praça Dep. Balduino de Carvalho, 32, Bairro Centro and at the private school IEPLA - Instituto Educacional Professora Laura Araújo, located at Praça Frei Martinho, 96, Bairro centro, all in the municipality of Itaporanga - PB, where the data was collected through questionnaires, whose results and analysis are presented in this study.
