Linguagem LOGO no ensino de geometria em curso de formação continuada para professores dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental

Abstract

This work aimed to use the LOGO language in Geometry Education in Continuing Education Course for Teachers of Elementary Education initial years. Therefore, it based itself on Constructivist Theory of Jean Piaget at the Constructivism Theory of Seymour Papert to work with LOGO language and studies of Pavanello and Freudenthal on Geometry Teaching. The study involved teachers of Years Elementary initial School of Ponta Grossa city, (PR). Applied research consisted of six training sessions, which was reflected on the trajectory of Geometry Education in Brazil, the current guidance contained in official documents of the Ministry of Education and the use of technological resources on the Geometry teaching. It was worked with the basics of language LOGO and project opportunities to be developed with students in schools. From a methodological point of view the qualitative approach to interpretation, with participant observation. Data were collected from questionnaires on the profile of the participant group, use of technological resources and the software language LOGO, log book and audio and video of continuing education meetings.

The results show the validity of continuing education work through the teacher trainer and researcher providing reflective activities, practices, challenging and pleasurable. As a final product, it presents a teaching manual in the form of an e-book which aims to provide teachers of the Early Years of elementary school, interested in the subject, information on the use of language LOGO and the geometry of Education, specifically, laterality, movement in space and angles.
