Ponto, reta e plano em ambientes lápis e papel e GeoGebra: Conhecimento geométrico de alunos do 6º ano do Ensino Fundamental no município de Parauapebas – Pará

Abstract

In the research work we investigated the geometrical knowledge of eighteen year 6 middle school students from the Parauapebas municipality, Pará, in relation to point, line ad plane in pencil and paper and GeoGebra environments to work geometrical figures in March 2017. Our research work is a qualitative one. To carry it on we used field work, participant observation and photos. We elaborated a didactical propose with the objective of working Geometry initial contents by viewing, afterwards, the application of initial and final questionnaire, the students answered some activities proposed for investigating geometrical knowledge (point, line and plane) in the paper and pencil and GeoGebra environments. The authors we took for discussing geometrical knowledge were Piaget (2003), Flavell (1996), Hamazaki (2004) and Van Hiele (1957). From the results we concluded that the students better understood the point, line and plane contents in the GeoGebra environment than the paper and pencil environment. With that, we believe that by teacher using the technological resource, among them the GeoGebra software for Geometry teaching, it can provide an innovator dimension. Besides, to make possible an environment with technological resource, there is the need of a distinct pedagogical propose in the Laboratory, viewing to expand the dimension of the exploration of this resource along the teaching and learning processes.
