Mathematics Teachers Building New Didactic Tools: Coping With Technology

Summary/Abstract: Using the paradigm of activity theory, the central problem of this paper1 is thecharacterization of the processes through which teachers replicate, adapt, and improvise tasksof textbooks with use of technological resources (CD-ROMs and web portals). In other words,we seek to identify teachers’ use of schemas in actions mediated by these technological elements.Two of us accompanied Portuguese secondary mathematics teachers in the assessment of learningtasks involving the use of new technological resources and the analysis of feedback of teachingperformance after implementation in the classroom. This feedback was obtained from their peers,trainers and teachers’ reflection on the actions in classes and occurred during the sessions of thetraining activities. The study shows that teachers plan coordinated tasks that integrate technologyresources and apply them in classes adjusting them to the technological environment of theirschools. However, some difficulties in interpreting feedback are revealed.
