The hybrid teaching model: a proposal continuing education for first grade teachers

Abstract

This paper presents part of the results of a project that aimed to investigate whether strategies used for continuing education of first grade teachers, using a Hybrid Teaching model,“Flipped Classroom” could be a favorable instrument for the continued training of elementary school teachers in the context of Mathematics (Shulman,1987), in particular Geometry. The proposal was an attempt to seek the improvement of didactic concepts and practices for the teaching of Geometry in the early years of basic school, addressing theoretical (Van Hiele,1986) and methodological aspects and with the use of digital technologies, especially GeoGebra software. A training was offered with the proposal of empowering educators, who teach in elementary school, to teach Plane Geometry with the use of digital technologies and encourage them in the continuous search for professional improvement. The teachers participated forcreating the proposed model, offering their respective areas of expertise, and contributing to significant results.
