THE ROLE OF DICT IN THE UNDERSTANDING AND MOTIVATION OF 8TH GRADE MATHEMATICS STUDENTS

Abstract

The incorporation of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICT) in education is crucial to meet the generation of students immersed in technology. However, this integration must be strategically and pedagogically effective, avoiding becoming superficial. This article discusses the importance of DICT in education, focusing on teaching Mathematics. The objective of the research was to analyze how the integration of DICT, represented by the Brasil Escola, GeoGebra and Solumaths tools, can improve the students' learning experience.The adopted methodology was qualitative, using semi-open questionnaires to collect data from a group of the 8th grade of elementary school in a state school in the municipality of Lábrea-AM. The findings of this study revealed that the effective integration of DICT significantly enriches students' learning experience in Mathematics. These findings emphasize the relevance of adopting innovative teaching approaches, incorporating DICT. It is critical to exploit these technological tools to enhance students' learning experience by taking advantage of technological resources with which they are already familiar.
