A study of connectivism as a support for research on meaning-making for mathematics
Page: 933
This paper presents ongoing research whose goal is to study theoretical frameworks that support teaching practices carried out in courses that are part of a Bachelor's Degree in mathematics which use information and communication technology resources - such as blogs, social networks and virtual learning environments - for the teaching and learning of mathematics content that is part of the curriculum in colleges and universities. The outline presented here refers to the ongoing study in the Mathematics, Culture, Art and Technology line of research being done by the research group THEM (Spices of History in Mathematics Education) about connectivism as a theoretical approach to teaching and learning.
