Jogo matemático digital ou manipulativo? o estado da arte deste tema nas dissertações produzidas no PROFMAT (2013-2020)

Abstract

The objective of this work is to verify the state of the art of manipulative mathematical games and digital mathematical games in dissertations produced by PROFMAT (Professional Master in Mathematics in National Network) from 2013 to 2020, whose program exists since 2011 and has already formed, nationally, more of 5,400 masters, thus showing their seriousness and competence in training these professionals, despite the short time of creation. We conducted a statistical survey on these topics on the institution's website and found that there are 91 works in all. Of these, 71 (78%) deal with manipulative mathematical games, 12 of them, that is, 13%, are about digital mathematical games, and finally 8 of them work in both formats, that is, both manipulative mathematical games and digital mathematical games, which corresponds to 9%. Even though it is predictable that we would find the highest percentage in the use of manipulative mathematical games in relation to the digital ones, in the period of time investigated, given the tradition that the first contemplates, this work becomes a reference for future research, given that from this year on 2020, with the current home confinement, teachers were required to prefer the use of digital technologies and, consequently, for the period after 2020, we will probably have a substantial increase in the use of this type of tool.
