O uso das tecnologias no processo de ensino de cálculo diferencial e integral : um panorama de pesquisas educacionais no Brasil

Abstract

Currently, we live with technology in various situations of our daily lives. In universities, the use of technological resources is increasing more and more with the aim of providing improvements in subjects such as Differential and Integral Calculus, for example. From this perspective, this work aims to discuss and analyze, in a qualitative manner, articles, theses, and dissertations related to the use of Information and Communication Technologies in the teaching of Differential and Integral Calculus, selected through a bibliographic search on Google Scholar and Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations in the temporal period (2018-2022), in order to answer the question: “How can Information and Communication Technologies enhance the teaching of Differential and Integral Calculus?” Additionally, for a more in-depth qualitative analysis, the IRaMuTeQ software was used. Based on the results obtained from the researched documents, it is highlighted that the use of technology in Differential and Integral Calculus classes can indeed “facilitate,” enhance, exemplify, make classes more dynamic, and assist in the visualization of graphs, demonstrations, etc. Furthermore, it encourages student participation. After analyzing the works, a great acceptance of the integration of technological resources in Differential and Integral Calculus classes was found in all the studied documents. It can be concluded that the use of technology in the teaching of Differential and Integral Calculus is important to spark students’ interest and make the development of their knowledge more creative and active. Technologies enable various teaching methods and enhance knowledge when used appropriately.
