Abstract

This article presents the results of a project developed with twelve teachers from Portuguese-speaking countries: Brazil, Portugal and Cape Verde, for an online training, with proposals for the creation of assessment resources with automatic feedback, with the use of digital technologies, for the learning of mathematics. We tried to identify which strategies were necessary to accompany this training and the interactions between teachers for the construction of resources. Methodology: The study, of a qualitative nature, was developed in a dynamic guided by an active and collaborative participation in practical and theoretical activities, stimulating this association and the manipulation and analysis of problem-situations. Results: Three key strategies were identified: joint planning, the use of collaborative digital tools, and constant peer feedback. Teachers reported an increase in the quality of the resources created and an improvement in their own professional training. Positive interactions were observed that promoted a collaborative learning environment. Discussion: The results of this experience coincide with previous studies that highlight the importance of teacher collaboration. Joint planning allowed for greater consistency in educational resources by involving aspects of automatic feedback, while digital tools facilitated remote collaboration.
