Information technologies and the development of professional knowledge and identity in teacher education. In J. Novotná (Org.), Proceedings of II European Conference in Mathematics Education (CERME II) (pp. 310-321), Univerzita Karlova v Praze, Pedagogická Faculta, Praga, República Checa.80-7290-075-7http://hdl.handle.net/10451/4524This paper addresses the preparation in ICT of preservice mathematics teachers. We describe the aims, assumptions, and work carried out in a course offered at the University of Lisbon and briefly discuss the processes involved in the development of professional knowledge and the formation of professional identities. Using a qualitative methodology, based on the administration of free-response questionnaires to the student teachers enrolled in the course in 1999-2000, we analyze their general perspectives about ICT, the implications of the use of ICT in their view of teaching methodologies, and their development of a professional identity. This work provides suggestions for teacher education practice and for further research.engFormação inicialMatemáticaTecnologias de Informação e ComunicaçãoProfessional knowledgeProfessional identityconference object
