The alliance between Technologies of the past and Digital Technologies of Information and Communication via Scientific Research

Abstract

The 21st century has been recognized for the frequent use of Digital Technologies of Information and Communication (TDIC), for the dissemination of information and communication at fast speed, a scenario that makes us uneasy to realize that technological resources were already present in past centuries, with functionalities, interfaces, historical contexts and distinct needs in each period. Given this understanding, we developed this study with the general objective of understanding the alliance between past technologies and digital technologies via scientific investigation as a favorable means for teaching and learning Mathematics. Seeking to achieve this objective, the methodological path of this was based on second-generation Didactic Engineering, organized into four phases: preliminary analysis, conception and a priori analysis of didactic situations, experimentation and analysis a posteriori validation. It resulted through the use of the Storyboard That platform, the production of a comic book, which dealt introductory with facts present in the history of Mathematics, making use of the nautical/mathematical instrument, balhestilha, by Manoel de Figueiredo, from 1603, contained in the historical document, Chronographia Reportório dos Tempos[...], in which he established an alliance between past and digital technologies through comic strips, obtaining an attractive and playful resource, which can be relevant to the teaching of mathematical knowledge. Thus, we conclude that the articulation between technologies from different periods in the teaching of Mathematics is possible, but through the realization of a didactic treatment, which highlights the intention of the action, as well as the construction of an action plan that contains a guiding methodology and digital educational resources.
