Understanding cartesian geometry with the use of digital means of expression and robotics
Summary:
This empirical study deals with the teaching of Cartesian Geometry. In High School students learn about the Cartesian coordinate but there is a lack of attention in its teaching. In Cartesian geometry the points are described in an absolute and systematic way. For this reason, activities were designed that alternates the use of three means of representation of cartesian concepts from the natural environment, digital expressive tools and robotics. The purpose of this study is to create activities where students are motivated and to participate and meaning the concepts of Cartesian Geometry by themselves. To be more specific, by engaging three students of different ages in an activity of three different tasks, we study the course of meaning that followed as they are involved in the interaction of the virtual world, the computer and the real world. The use of these alternative tools aims to create a learning environment where students can gain practical experience of a variety of relevant cognitive concepts, implement their ideas and develop abstraction through this process.
