TECNOLOGIAS EDUCACIONAIS: representações sociais de professores indígenas em formação

Abstract

Indigenous teachers face daily the challenge of transposing the content of Science and Mathematics within the cultural context of their indigenous communities. It should be noted that, with the help of some of the educational technologies, indigenous teachers could contextualize the teaching of Science and Mathematics to the way of being and living in their community. This research aimed to describe and analyze the social representations of indigenous scholars about the use of educational technologies for the teaching and learning of science and mathematics in the initial formation of indigenous teachers. It was used the interviews where the data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively using the methodology of the discourse of the collective subject (DSC) and the software QualiquantiSoft. We conclude from the results built by DSC that educational technologies represent an important tool both in the teaching and learning process and in the professional and personal growth of the indigenous teachers in formation.
