Paper Abstract:
|
Despite the possibilities of interactions and sharing information, only few studies investigated the use of messenger apps
as a pedagogical tool. This paper reflects on possible uses of messenger app as a way to share and expand knowledge about
the teaching and learning of statistics. The discussion is based on theoretical perspectives on statistics education, critical
mathematics education and M-learning. A pilot study was conducted with early years elementary school Brazilian teachers.
In this paper we discuss results from participants responses to an online questionnaire. The results indicated that
participants frequently use WhatsApp application and email on daily basis. Regarding the teachers' previous teaching of
statistics, their responses suggested that they know about statistical graphs and they already approached pedagogical
activities on statistical contents. Further stages of this study will explore in-service teacher education situations in which
the use of Whatsapp might assist discussions and elaborations of pedagogical activities in school and extra-school contexts. |
