There are studies that show that the use of this type of artifact has a fundamental role in the behavior of students, raising, among other aspects, a greater motivation for learning mathematics. The aim of this work is to explore and describe implications for the behavior and learning of students in the 7th grade of Portuguese basic education, in face of a pedagogical practice that involves carrying out tasks using ES Plickers, in the theme similarities of the domain geometry and measurement, throughout intervention carried out. The adopted methodology presents characteristics of a quasi-experimental study. The participants were 61 students from three classes of a school in the north of Portugal, followed during eight consecutive classes. A set of tasks using Plickers, tests and a questionnaire survey were used as instruments for data collection. The results point to positive increments, at a behavioral level, as well as in the evolution of learning, in view of the use of this methodology in the classroom.\u003Cbr>Keywords: educational software, Plickers, similarities, behavior, learning |\n| --- | --- |\n| INTRODUCTION |  |\n\nTeachers are responsible for the methodologies they use in the classroom. We live in an era of resource diversification (González & Dueñas, 2009), innovation, and methodological transformation in the area of education (Parra-González et al., 2021) . The use of technologies has become essential and education professionals play a key role in their application in the students’ learning process. The effectiveness of using methodologies that require the use of innovative tools in the transmission of knowledge requires good training and mastery of the methodologies that teachers want to use (Parra González et al., 2021) .  \nSince 2013, UNESCO has emphasized the need to use mobile devices in education, as well as in teacher training, so that the skills recommended for the 21st century can be developed (UNESCO, 2013) . Its use offers  \nteachers opportunities to expand their knowledge, as well as overcome barriers in its use (Junior, 2020) . But does the use of educational software (ES) that are innovative and capable of helping teachers in the development of similarities content imply effective gains in the behavior and learning of students?  \nIn this work we investigate the use of SE Plickers. Thomas et al. (2016) analyzed the relationship between educational performance, the rate of involvement and creativity of students when using Plickers application and concluded that its use improves the quality of students’ knowledge. Gurisik and Demirkan (2019) also looked into the use of Plickers in classes and concluded that students consi","cbCaikTtGdBHVn3P","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikTtGdBHVn3P","pdf",280294,"English","# Introduction\n## Educational technologies and pedagogical innovation\n## Research motivation and prior studies\n## Purpose and structure of the work","[{\"question\":\"What is the main goal of the study?\",\"answer\":\"To explore and describe implications for students’ behavior and learning in 7th grade Portuguese basic education when using Plickers for similarities in geometry and measurement.\"},{\"question\":\"What methodology does the study use?\",\"answer\":\"A quasi-experimental study design with 61 students from three classes, followed over eight consecutive classes.\"},{\"question\":\"How were data collected during the intervention?\",\"answer\":\"Through a set of tasks using Plickers, tests, and a questionnaire survey.\"}]","Plickers to support similarities learning - An experience on 7th grade Portuguese basic education | PDF",1792090387,25]
