Pre-service teachers perceptions on outdoors education using a digital resource
| Resumo: | This paper refers to a study that aims to understand the potential of digital technology in outdoors mathematics education from the perspective of future teachers. We followed a qualitative approach and collected data through observation, questionnaires and photographic records. The participants were forty-eight preservice teachers that used Math City Map to do a math trail in Viana do Castelo. Results show that they valued the experience, having the possibility to solve realistic problems, developing cooperative work, critical thinking and establishing mathematical connections. They found the app to be user friendly and motivating, mentioning its contribution for students’ engagement through active learning, spatial orientation, autonomy and being more interactive than the paper version |
