Disseminação da Matemática através das redes sociais

Abstract

The aim of this academic work is to relate social media and educational process (popular), presenting the extraordinary human evolution from technology perspective, especially on the social media boom and the impact that these tools brought in the educational context. This is a bibliographical research, qualitative and exploratory. Statistics show that the number of Internet users has increased significantly in Brazil, making the country one of the leaders in the number of users of a virtual tool. In this context, time is ideal for an analytical and reflective study in order to verify how social media are being used and how they are being integrated into the education (school) reality. If for one side this new reality scares the teachers, on the other hand we can not ignore that the new generations are born in an imaginary and communicational context that allows to see the events of the whole world no matter the place they are. Public education policies must contemplate the emerging demands of each historical moment. Thus, this dissertation brings as evidence evidence that there is a special concern regarding teacher training so that there is a responsible and intelligent commitment in the use of new technologies as mediating tools for the qualification of learning. In addition, we can observe from the analysis made that this paradigmatic change points to promising results to teachers who have been able to critically insert social media in the formal and informal spaces of the educational process.
