THE POTENTIALS OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN DEVELOPING THE ACTION OF COORDINATING AND INTEGRATING VIEWS OF GEOMETRIC SOLIDS

Abstract

Spatial Visualization Skills are requirements in the development of geometric, visual and spatial thinking, widely required in everyday situations. Among these capabilities, we have the action of Coordinating and Integrating Views (CIV), focused on the exercise of flat representations and projections of geometric solids. However, the static way in which these skills are commonly worked inhibits their broad development, thus Digital Technologies (DT) emerge as an alternative in streamlining visualization tasks. To this end, this research is characterized as a case study with a qualitative approach in which six students from a Mathematics teacher training course participated. Throughout the research, participants’ difficulties in relation to CIV are identified and how the use of GeoGebra can be implemented to overcome them.
