SAMPAIO, Patrícia Alexandra da Silva Ribeiro. Professional development of Mathematics teachers: An ICT training experience. []. , 29, 2, pp.209-232. ISSN 0871-9187.  https://doi.org/10.21814/rpe.2987.

The process of integration of ICT should come as something natural when teachers prepare their lessons. In the case of Mathematics, this inclusion is implicit in the official national syllabuses but not all teachers feel prepared to do it. This text addresses an experience involving the use of interactive whiteboards by twenty teachers according with the TPACK guidelines. This means that not only technological skills were considered but also other factors such as pedagogical and curriculum skills, as well as the context within which these were used and the relations that were created. We aimed at investigating in what way this experience would have a positive impact in their daily practices. With that aim, teachers answered online questionnaires, at the end of the training sessions, then after nine months and, finally, three years later. The results show that these teachers have changed their daily routines and the way they delivered their lessons, making it possible for them to get closer to the modern idea of a teacher of the twenty first century.
