Abstract

This paper presents one of the aspects identified in an action research study which had the participation of a group of teachers and pedagogic coordinators. The objective of the study was to investigate the perceptions of the participants as the collaboratively discussed the limits and possibilities of mobile technology coupled with inquiry-based learning as a pedagogical strategy for the teaching of mathematics. The study used the methodology of critical collaborative action research as theorized by Wilfred Carr and Stephen Kemmis. Data was analyzed using Phil Carspecken´s reconstructive analysis. Segments of transcripts of group discussions were selected for the reconstruction of their meanings by the researchers. A vertical analysis attributed different levels of remoteness to possible meanings, while a horizontal analysis sought to identify the types of validity claims made by the participants for their utterances — whether objective, subjective or normative. This article focused on the normative aspects related to the use of cellphones in classrooms. The evidence and analysis led to the conclusion that the participants did not base their validity claims in the normative domain. Rather, they based their arguments on the objective realm and made subjective claims about professional development, planning, and practicies related to the use of mobile technology in the classroom.
