Didactic aspects involving the production of digital videos by pre-service Mathematics teachers

The research reported in this article aimed to investigate didactic aspects involved in the production of digital videos by mathematics pre-service teachers for the participation in the Festival of Digital Videos and Mathematics Education. The data were produced in the course named "Didactics of Mathematics" with two classes of an undergraduate course in Mathematics at a public state university. The video production process was based on the notion of “digital mathematical performance”. Based on the instructor's supervision, the groups produced six videos, four of which were submitted to the Festival, exploring different elementary and high school mathematical contents and using different artistic-narrative languages. The didactic proposal is innovative considering the interface involving the use of digital technologies and the arts in Mathematics Education, with emphasis on multimodality. Participation in the Festival offered the means to build alternative images of mathematics and aesthetic mathematical experiences for future teachers.
