A Avaliação na sala de aula de matemática: práticas e concepções

This research aims to understand the assessment practices used by teachers at a public state school in the city of Cunha, Sao Paulo. To this end, we interviewed five mathematics teachers, who answered a questionnaire with five questions. The responses were analyzed according to the rigor of phenomenological research. To understand the investigation region, that is to say, the meaning of evaluation, we proceeded to a review of studies on the subject in authors like Buriasco (2002), Pavanello (2006), Hoffmann (1994), expressive in Mathematics Education that allows us to explain the concept of prevailing interpretation in the area. The phenomenological analysis enabled the development of three categories open revealing the concept of evaluation of teachers investigated. The first shows the review As a way to measure the knowledge acquired by the student. His interpretation leads us to understand that for some teachers, the research subjects, the assessment becomes a method to ' measure ' the knowledge acquired by the student. The second category, expressed by As a way of understanding the student's behavior in class, shows that some of the interviewees understand the evaluation as a medium that reveals and appreciates the ways of the student behave in class. Finally, the third category refers to the evaluation by means of said instruments. On this subject the claim that the assessment is through instruments such that: evidence, exercise lists, among others. In summary, interviews and categories analyzed explain the ways in which the assessment reveals the concept of implicit learning the instruments used in the evaluation practices of teachers interviewed. However, the authors read, evaluation is a necessary and permanent teaching job in teaching, which must follow step by step the process of teaching and learning. It follows, ...

A Resolução de problemas no ensino de matemática

The Troubleshooting is a methodology that stands out in mathematics teaching, it provides a meaningful learning, favoring the intellectual development of the student and the autonomous and critical thinking. In this work an exploratory study on the use of Problem Solving as a teaching strategy. Along it is discussed the importance of problem solving, which is a problem and their differences for years, the types of problems, how to solve a problem and as a teacher should apply problem solving in the classroom choosing problems and exercises adequate and properly questioning the student

Mídias na educação matemática: projeto CONDIGITAL

This work aims to understand the multimedia Learning Objects (LO's) developed within the CONDIGITAL project, subsidized by the federal government. The CONDIGITAL aimed to encourage the production and the use of media in teaching in high school classrooms. This work presents a reflection on the contribution of media to the construction of significant learning of student users. The research was conducted through a literature study. Therefore, it was considered the work of some researchers related to the study of the potential of these technologies in education, such as Valente (1995), Tauroco (2007) and Mussoi (2010). These readings made possible to discern some common evaluation criteria that may be used as parameters to analyze the quality of these media as educational tools. The theme of exploration is guided by a research on the motivation of the mentioned project and on its amplitude and its results, which is directed later to the LO's developed by UNICAMP team, particularly in the Mathematics productions developed by the M³ project, some of the which are presented and evaluated in this monograph

Altas habilidades ou superdotação: um estudo em uma Diretoria de Ensino da rede estadual paulista

Special Education includes gifted students. There is a lack of resources and information for identification and care of such students. They were research objectives map students with giftedness characteristic in Elementary and Middle School in Bauru/SP, as well as verify what teachers know about the issue and if they know how to work with such students in their classrooms. This qualitative, quantitative and descriptive research was structured in three stages. Step A: an observation guide of gifted children, Guia de observação de crianças dotadas e talentosas. Step B: True or False questions on the subject. Step C, field diary. Two hundred and thirty one classes from 24 schools were evaluated and 477 students were identified with giftedness characteristic in at least one of six possible areas. Three hundred and one students were in Elementary School and 176 were in Middle School. In Step B, 280 teachers from 26 schools were part of this study and it is confirmed that they have theoretical knowledge on the subject because the number of hits on the main concepts (based on the literature) was superior to the number of misses. A 4th grade classroom, with a gifted girl, was observed in step C. It was found that the teacher pedagogical practice and the resources used are not different from the ones used with other students. Thus, it appears that the student has not received the curricular adaptations to assist her developing skills

Ensino e aprendizagem de matemática: o uso de recursos manipulativos em sala de aula

In this work, we understand the importance of the use of manipulative resources for learning mathematics. For both we developed a qualitative phenomenological approach. Performing a case study with nine 7th grade students of the Elementary School, we used the abacus of the integers to examine in what way the use of Abacus contributes to students learning. The choice of material was made according to the focus of research, understanding the signs rule. In the analysis and interpretation of data, highlight lines of students, subject of the research, units of meaning that allow us to say that the material using awakened interest in students Who actively participated in the research and enabled them to understand the rule of signs, to operate with integers enabled them to understand the rule of signs, to operate with integers
