RESUMO

Societyâs perception of the potential of informatics as a transforming factor has led schools to try and improve teaching by introducing this resource into classrooms. As a consequence, the use of educational software in schools has been growing, and this investment is advertised by the schools as proof of the quality of the education provided by them. With the increase of the use of informatics in education, the question arises as of how to assess the contribution made by computational tools to the learning process. Traditionally, coding and assessment of educational software has been done based on intrinsic aspects of this resource. Very little has been said about the effective contribution of the use of this resource in learning of specific concepts. This dissertation aims to design an educational interface based on a theoretical framework that makes it possible to investigate the meanings that emerge during the use of educational software in teaching mathematics. To carry out this investigation, a prototype was designed and tested by elementary school teachers. The results obtained made it possible to assess which properties of concepts emerge during the use of the software, and how scaffolding techniques implemented in the software integrate with the process of problem resolution with the software. The results obtained in this research enabled the coding of an educational software program that will be part of the virtual environment Amadeus, for use in courses and distance learning for elementary school teachers.
