GONCALVES, Elivelton Henrique and MARCO, Fabiana Fiorezi de. The use of digital technologies in the undergraduate course in Mathematics PARFOR/Distance Education at the Federal University of Uberlândia.

This research focused its efforts on the study of Digital Technologies (DTs) in the education of future Mathematics teachers by distance modality, and it was guided by the following question: how are Digital Technologies methodologically approached by professors of undergraduate studies in Mathematics by distance modality at the Federal University of Uberlândia? Seeking an answer, the following goals were proposed: to analyze how professors organized the teaching of their subjects addressing DTs, and to examine how undergraduate students and tutors evaluate that approach. By adopting the qualitative research approach as methodology, interviews with professors were carried out, and questionnaires were applied to the undergraduate students and tutors. The results demonstrate the importance of proposition of formative processes which not only introduce DTs to the undergraduate students, but also enable them to build knowledge about their integration as teaching tools in the Mathematics classroom.
