Order and disorder in learning quadrilaterals in geogebra tasks on tablets
Geometry, Polygons, Elementary Education, Mobile Devices, Touches on screen.
The present research is guided by the following question: What contributions and limitations does an ambience with tablets+GeoGebra provoke in the conceptual development of quadrilaterals by students of the sixth year of Elementary School in a public school?. Tasks related to quadrilaterals in GeoGebra were elaborated and implemented. The data were produced by solving the cards, by the students. For this purpose, the instruments used for data collection were (a) the field diary, (b) student records for the proposed activities, (c) audio and video recordings and (d) screen recordings. The analysis is focused on aspects that emerge from student-student, student-teacher or student-device interactions. It is a pedagogical intervention, in practice itself. It is also verified, in a preliminary way, that the ambience contributed to the learning of quadrilaterals, particularly, parallelograms and trapezoids.
