Redes sociais como meios de divulgação científica nas aulas de matemática: o que apontam as pesquisas de mestrado

Abstract

With the emergence of digital media emerge unusual contexts to disseminate scientific knowledge. Therefore, it is interesting to observe the opportunities to popularize a science among students at Elementary School and to favor a learning of topics that are considered hard by them, such as the case of mathematics. However, any new methodology must be based researches that should be used as a theoretical support. Due to this, in this work is problematized what are the contributions of studies (dissertation of CAPES), between 2013 and 2018, about the scientific dissemination to mathematics learning on Elementary School about the use of social networks as a strategy for the dissemination of science at school. To answer this question, the methodology used here has a qualitative and quantitative character, being characterized as the bibliographic research (state of the art) and using a content analysis of Bardin. Thus, this dissertation is composed by four main titles: the introduction where the guiding questions, objectives and methodology are presented; a brief discussion about the social networks and the scientific dissemination in the Science and Mathematics Education and Teaching; the recommendations of the Ministry of Education on the general use of technology in education; and the analysis and discussion about the use of social networks for Scientific Dissemination in Mathematics classes: contributions from master's research which highlights the need of more further studies on the topic of interest. Keywords: Scientific Dissemination; Social Networks; Digital Information and Communication Technologies; Mathematics; Elementary School.
