Mathematical resilience is assumed as one of the most important areas in school context and whose focus should be given priority, due to the distress exhibited by st u- dents when learning and understanding basic knowledge in mathematics year after year . The main goal of this research was to study how students attending middle schools in the suburban area of the Portuguese capital are able to recognize and express mathema tical resilience cha r- acte r istics after solving several tasks in groups using ICT. Method . Th is research was conducted with 64 students from the 8 th grade, from three soci o- economic disadvantaged schools, who answered a short open - ended questionnaire reg arding their experience in working on a sequence of three articulated tasks in the mathematics clas s- room, with the use of ICT. Different categories and subcategories have emerged from the conducted inductive content analysis . Results . Th e r esults of thi s study suggest students perceived the experience of using ICT in their mathematics lessons as useful for their learning process and appreciated to enroll tasks through a practical teaching - learning environment. Students also highlighted the importance of their peers’ support and perceived TinkerPlots software as a useful tool to enhance their understanding and learning of mathema t ical concepts , pointing how this learning experience became more interesting and easy to them. Nevertheless, a residual number o f students r e- ported fee l ings of distress whilst others indifference . Discussion and Conclusion . The results of this research suggest these students exhibit some characteristics the specialized literature has pointed as typical from mathematical resilien t students. Some implications for school practitioners are formulated but f urther research is needed to enlarge the understanding of how ICT tools in certain environments can be effe c- tive to enhance students ’ learning while promoting mat h ematical resilient behaviors. 2016 artículo científico 1696-2095 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=293144934004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2931 Electronic Journal of Research in Educational Psychology application/pdf Universidad de Almería Electronic Journal of Research in Educational Psychology (España) Num.1 Vol.14 |
