Impactos do uso da tecnologia da informação na formação do licenciando em matemática

Abstract

This study presents an analysis of the impacts of Information Technology (IT) on the students Mathematics undergraduates. The advancement of IT has played an increasingly significant role in their training. New tools and resources are available, providing a more dynamic and interactive learning experience. Technology also contributes to the development of essential skills for Mathematics undergraduates, such as logical reasoning, problem-solving, and data analysis. The lack of integration between Mathematical Theory and Technological Practice restricts the educational potential of the course. Therefore, IT is essential in the training of Mathematics undergraduates as it allows access to resources and information that expand the mathematical knowledge of future teachers. The aim of this study is to analyze how the integration of technology in the education of Mathematics undergraduates contributes to their teaching practice. Furthermore examines the role of IT in education, the benefits and challenges of incorporating IT into their training, and the impacts of IT on Mathematics Education. To achieve this goal, a field study was conducted using questionnaires to collect data. The results revealed that IT aids in problem-solving and activities, optimizes study time, and provides materials that facilitate understanding of subjects. The study highlights inadequate infrastructure, inequality in access to technology, and the need for training as negative aspects. However, it identifies rapid and high-quality information sharing, dynamic teaching, demystification of theory and practice, and encouragement of teaching as positive aspects. In light of the results, it can be concluded that the use of IT in the education of Mathematics undergraduates brings various benefits, such as facilitating learning and promoting greater engagement. However, this integration faces challenges, including the lack of adequate infrastructure and training for both students and teachers. Therefore, it is necessary to invest in infrastructure, training programs, and educational policies to ensure the effective integration of technology in education, thereby preparing students for the modern world.
