Prospective mathematics teachers interacting in a chat and emerging different scopes about the definition of polyhedron
Palavras-chave:
Virtual Learning Environments, Chat, Prospective Mathematics Teachers, Definition of PolyhedronResumo
In mathematics education, research studies that analyze the construction of geometric concepts through interactions on chat are scarce. This study focuses on prospective mathematics teachers (PMTs) discussing about the definition of polyhedrons. The report is part of an ongoing research project1 that analyses interactions in virtual learning environments (VLE). One case study will be discussed. The chat proved to be a scenario that improved PMTs reflecting about the definition of polyhedrons in three scopes: one in the context of geometric solids, another one focused on its elements (faces, vertices and edges) and still another one centered in the number of dimensions.
