INFORMÁTICA NA EDUCAÇÃO MATEMÁTICA E CIENTÍFICA DOS ANOS INICIAIS DE ESCOLARIDADE: UM ESTUDO SOBRE AS PESQUISAS DA ÁREA ENSINO DE CIÊNCIAS E MATEMÁTICA

Abstract

This article aims to review dissertations and theses on the use of computing in Maths and Science Education in the early years of schooling, within the defended area of Mathematics and Science Teaching (46). For this purpose, we are theoretically supported by Valente (1999), Almeida (2007), Haddad (2002), among others. This study shows that investing in research to understand the teaching / learning content using computers technology as a pedagogical tool privileges the study of the used technologies potential. Few studies deepen epistemic or methodogically the teacher’s role in contexts in which computers are used. Investing in research on this topic it is desirable to discuss Science and Mathematics Education for this century.
