In this chapter, we discuss the use of social media in a pre-service teacher education program in Brazil named “Pedagogical Residence”. We explore (a) how pre-service teachers harness the power of songs and digital videos, emphasizing the arts, to cultivate aesthetic mathematical experiences as a pedagogical approach, and (b) in what ways social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, SoundCloud, and YouTube serve as technologies for sharing these experiences. From a humans-with-media perspective, we emphasize the role of digital technology and the arts in the pedagogical engagement of pre-service teachers. Moreover, from a computational participation point of view, we highlight the cognitive, situated, and critical dimensions of developing and sharing aesthetic mathematical experiences in a teacher education scenario. From the results, we point out that the integration of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) in pre-service teacher education emphasizes interdisciplinary learning and creative problem-solving, leveraging technology and media to enhance learning experiences. Through activities such as creating mathematics songs, pre-service teachers engage with media tools to produce and share educational content, fostering collaboration and innovation in teaching practices. This approach has demonstrated potential in preparing pre-service teachers to be effective educators in the digital age, underlining the importance of media literacy in the classroom.

摘要

In this chapter, we discuss the use of social media in a pre-service teacher education program in Brazil named “Pedagogical Residence”. We explore (a) how pre-service teachers harness the power of songs and digital videos, emphasizing the arts, to cultivate aesthetic mathematical experiences as a pedagogical approach, and (b) in what ways social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, SoundCloud, and YouTube serve as technologies for sharing these experiences. From a humans-with-media perspective, we emphasize the role of digital technology and the arts in the pedagogical engagement of pre-service teachers. Moreover, from a computational participation point of view, we highlight the cognitive, situated, and critical dimensions of developing and sharing aesthetic mathematical experiences in a teacher education scenario. From the results, we point out that the integration of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) in pre-service teacher education emphasizes interdisciplinary learning and creative problem-solving, leveraging technology and media to enhance learning experiences. Through activities such as creating mathematics songs, pre-service teachers engage with media tools to produce and share educational content, fostering collaboration and innovation in teaching practices. This approach has demonstrated potential in preparing pre-service teachers to be effective educators in the digital age, underlining the importance of media literacy in the classroom.
