Resumo: This paper presents some results of a professional development course for teachers where the participants studied basic solid geometry and developed applied projects in an interdisciplinary context. The course took place in a Portuguese university, from February to May 2020, and involved 19 teachers of preschool and primary levels (grades 1 to 4). The authors have developed a qualitative case study to evaluate how an interdisciplinary approach to the teaching of solid geometry is perceived, by the mathematics teachers, as a contribution to the teaching/learning process of geometry. Overall, the activities developed have proved to be successful examples of interdisciplinary methodologies. Moreover, the approach followed during the course helped the teachers develop their geometric competences concerning solid geometry in a more consistent appropriation and application of the geometric concepts involved.

Nessa ação de formação, os formandos estudaram os sólidos geométricos e desenvolveram projetos num contexto de interdisciplinaridade. A ação de formação decorreu numa universidade portuguesa, entre fevereiro e maio de 2020. Envolveu 19 professores do ensino pré-escolar e do ensino básico. As autoras desenvolveram um estudo de caso, com o objetivo de avaliar se uma estratégia interdisciplinar pode ser percecionada, pelos professores, como uma mais-valia no processo de ensino/aprendizagem da geometria. No geral, as atividades desenvolvidas evidenciaram ser bons exemplos de metodologias interdisciplinares. Além disso, a abordagem adotada durante a formação contribuiu para os formandos desenvolverem competências de geometria, nomeadamente, no que respeita a sólidos geométricos, numa mais sólida apropriação e aplicação dos conceitos envolvidos.En este artículo se presentan algunos resultados de un curso de formación continua para profesores. En este curso, los alumnos estudiaron los sólidos geométricos y desarrollaron proyectos en un contexto interdisciplinario. Lo curso se llevó a cabo en una universidad portuguesa, entre febrero y mayo de 2020. En el participaron 19 profesores de educación infantil y primaria. Los autores desarrollaron un estudio de caso, con el objetivo de evaluar si una estrategia interdisciplinaria puede ser percibida, por los docentes, como un valor agregado en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de la geometría. En general, las actividades desarrolladas resultaron ser buenos ejemplos de metodologías interdisciplinarias. Además, el enfoque adoptado durante la formación contribuyó a que los alumnos desarrollaran habilidades geométricas, es decir, en lo que respecta a los sólidos geométricos, en una apropiación y aplicación más sólida de los conceptos involucrados.CIDTFF/UA2021-11-26T11:54:26Z2021-07-28T00:00:00Z2021-07-28info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10773/32658eng10.34624/id.v13i3.25584Hall, AndreiaPais, Sóniainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-05-06T04:34:35Zoai:ria.ua.pt:10773/32658Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openairemluisa.alvim@gmail.comopendoar:71602024-05-06T04:34:35Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
