Exploring the learning object weight fair: an experience in elementary school

Abstract

The research we present in this article aimed to investigate whether the use of a particular learning object through the digital board would be able to provide interactivity and interaction between technological resources, students and the teacher. The article presents the description of an educational product and the procedures established for its exploration with a group of ten students from a 6th grade class of an Elementary School in the Paraná state school network that had this specific technological equipment - the digital board - since 2013. The activities that make up the learning object – Weight Fair - were explored by students through a digital board. Our option was for a qualitative research approach, since the data collection occurred during Mathematics classes in Elementary School, through field notes and video recordings made by the researchers. For the interpretation of the information collected we are guided by the procedures of Content Analysis using the procedures of organization, interpretation and analysis, according to the methodological and analytical concepts of the authors Moraes (1999) and Moraes and Galiazzi (2011). Such an analytical process allowed evidence of interactivity (with the digital board, the learning object, the ultrabook, the mobile phone and the blackboard) and interaction (with other students, teachers and members of the pedagogical team) that arose naturally as a result of the activity tasks explored on the digital board and the ultrabook.
