SAMPAIO, PATRÍCIA ALEXANDRA DA SILVA RIBEIRO  and  COUTINHO, CLARA PEREIRA. TEACHERS AS CURRICULUM BUILDERS: INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY TO LEARNING ACTIVITIES IN MATHEMATICS. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2015, vol.20, n.62, pp.635-661. ISSN 1413-2478.  https://doi.org/10.1590/S1413-24782015206205.

Professional development of mathematics’ teachers, through national programs and continuous training, should provide experiences that involve investigation, ideas, planning, practice and reflection. In the specific case of technology, we shouldn’t focus only on tools itself, but the way they are used by teachers with their students. Based on the idea of the teacher as builder of curriculum, that develops technological pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK) to integrate successfully the educational technology into the classroom, there are taxonomies of learning activities and mathematics is one of them. This way, through several national and international studies, we think that technologies should be used by teachers according to objectives, content and specific pedagogies to have a positive effect on student learning and which content based activities best fits with them.

Keywords : educational technology; TPACK; learning activities.
