GPIMEM's Participation in the IX FVDEM and the V SITEM

With great enthusiasm, the Research Group on Informatics, other Media, and Mathematics Education (GPIMEM) marked its presence at the recent IX Digital Video and Mathematics Education Festival (FVDEM) and the V International Symposium on Technologies in Mathematics Education (SITEM). The events, filled with innovative discussions and high-quality presentations, reinforced the importance of the integration between technology and mathematics education.

One of the highlights of GPIMEM's participation was the workshop titled "Digital Videos By and With Indigenous and Traditional Peoples." Led by Matheus Almeida, Matheus Zorer, and Caio Braz, with the support of Prof. Dr. Marcelo C. Borba, the workshop explored the creation of digital videos with a sensitive and relevant focus: the ethnomathematics of indigenous and traditional peoples. Participants delved into practical aspects of audiovisual production while also discussing the application of Artificial Intelligence as a tool to enhance the creation of authentic and impactful narratives.

In addition to the workshop, the second day of the V SITEM was a stage for sharing the latest research developed by GPIMEM members. A series of articles and abstracts was presented, covering diverse themes that connect technology to the teaching and learning of mathematics, demonstrating the group's vanguard in producing knowledge in the field.

Capping off the group's participation, Prof. Dr. Marcelo C. Borba, a leading reference in the field of Mathematics Education, delivered the opening keynote lecture of the symposium. With the title "Humans-With-Media in times of Artificial Intelligence: a historical perspective on the agency of things in Mathematics Education," the professor prompted the audience to reflect on the transformations in human interaction with technology and the active role that media play in the construction of mathematical knowledge in the age of Artificial Intelligence.

GPIMEM's participation in the IX FVDEM and the V SITEM reaffirms the group's commitment to cutting-edge research and the pursuit of a Mathematics Education that is more inclusive, technological, and connected to contemporary social issues.
