Methodological aspects and of gamification in a MOOC about digital technologies to the Mathematics teaching

Abstract

One of the great current challenges in education is the guarantee of a quality education, for this, teacher training becomes an essential action. Thus, it is necessary to study the continuing education of teachers, which seeks strategies that help the teaching practice. As the inclusion of digital technologies in teaching practices is still a challenge for many teachers, emerged the motivation in offering a continuing education course in a virtual learning environment, in order to understand how math teachers make use of technologies in education, as well as to investigate and understand the elements of gamification able to enhance the interaction and the involvement of teachers in this formation process, in order to create an environment conducive to reading and exchanging experiences. In this context, the present study aims to present the steps taken in the production of MOOC Digital Technologies for Mathematics Teaching.
