O laboratório de ensino de matemática temático centrado nos instrumentos de navegação: uma proposta para o IFRN de Mossoró-RN

This work presents a proposal to build a Mathematics Teaching Laboratory (MTL) whose main theme is the study, construction and use of instruments for navigation and location of mathematical content in an interdisciplinary way approach, and develop a notebook of activities focused on navigational instruments. For this it was necessary a literature review to understand the different conceptions of MTL and its pedagogical implications. The methodology used was literature research, construction and handling of instruments, and pedagogical experimentation. Lorenzato (2006) highlights the importance of an environment and suitable for a professional who can do a good job instruments. The implementation of an LEM can find some obstacles. The lack of support from other teachers or the management, the lack of a suitable place to store the materials produced, the lack of time in the workload of the teacher to prepare the lab activity, etc. Even in unfavorable or adverse conditions, according Lorenzato (2006), its implementation will benefit teachers and students. The lack of teacher training in their initial and continuing education, to use materials, and the lack of manuals with lab activities are also mentioned as factors that keep teachers from MTL. With propóposito assist the teacher of elementary or middle school in building a theme MTL prepared and we are providing a notebook of activities that provides a didactic sequence involving History and Mathematics. The book consists of four accompanied by suggestions for teachers activities, however the teacher has full autonomy to adapt the activities to the reality of your school. Among the instruments of navigation presented in this study chose to build the quadrant due to its simplicity, low cost of material and great teaching potential that this instrument has. But a theme lab is always being built and rebuilt as it is a research environment

Produção do mestrado profissional em ensino de ciências naturais e matemática da UFRN (física e química/2005-2012): papel dos documentos oficiais e características dos produtos educacionais

The importance of the Professionals Master in the field of science education is revealed by the recognition that they provide, to practicing teachers, in particular, training spaces for reflection and application of knowledge. This work appears in the context of the project "Research and training in teaching science and mathematics: a cutout of academic production in the northeast and overview of formative action in basic education" on the Centre for Education program, which main objective was to conduct studies description, analysis and evaluation of the academic production of Postgraduate Programs in Science Teaching of UFRPE, UFRN and UEPB and investigate the contribution of continuing education in stricto sensu level, of graduated teachers to improve the quality of basic education . We sought to examine a cut of academic production PPGECNM / UFRN, taking as reference dissertations of Natural Sciences, finished between the years 2005 and 2012, which have developed and applied educational products for high school students. More specifically we sought to conduct a general characterization of the dissertations analyzed for basic descriptors, to understand if and how the official documents governing the Brazilian education, especially science education, subsidized development of dissertations and identify current trends for science teaching are addressed and which ones are used in preparing the product of dissertations. The survey was based on documentary analysis, a type of qualitative approach in which the documents are objects of study in themselves. The results revealed that most of the work was developed in public schools, on subjects of physics and chemistry. During analytical reading of the text of the dissertations was observed that, in its construction, most of them addressed somehow, official documents governing the Brazilian educational system, that the products are basically teaching units and teaching approaches that are more focused on Experimentation and History and Philosophy of Science

Cenário da produção acadêmica em história da matemática no ensino de matemática: uma análise reflexiva das teses e dissertações (1990-2010)

This research aims to make a reflective analysis about the academic production originated in the stricto sensu post graduation programs in the country, produced in the period of 1990 to 2010, in the field of History of Mathematics, especifically on works about the History of Mathematics in Mathematics education and that present pedagogical proposals that make use of the History of Mathematics in order to teach Mathematics. Defending the thesis that the researches on mathematics education with goals turned to the use of didactic proposals related to the history of mathematic that take in consideration the coherency between epistemological aspects inherent to mathematics history and anthological elements materialized on the conceptions of mathematics and mathematics history and of apprenticeship (implicitly or explicitly exposed) may originate significant contribution to the field of history of mathematics on education. Among these, nine were Master’s Degree dissertations and five PHD’s theses. The reflective analysis was accomplished from two matrixes; one from theoretical nature and the other, ontologic nature, elaborated from the pretexts of Sanches Gamboa, about the epistemological analysis from academic production in the field of Mathematics Education and the following theoretical perspectives in the field of History of Mathematics Education, that are: linear evolutionary theory, structural construtivist operative, evolutionary discontinuous, historical and socialcultural investigation and the use of activities estimulating the usage of verbal and nonverbal expressions. These perspectives were based on the works of Miguel and Miorim, Mendes and Radford. As results, we have detected some established dissonances between the categories related to theoretical and ontologic levels and the pedagogical proposal presented in these researches. On the other hand, we have discovered works that are able to establish consonances between the theoretical and ontological elements and the presented pedagogical proposal. These works carry significative contributions to the field of History of Mathematics applied to Mathematics pedagogical practice, inclusively presenting significative theoretical elements to the production of knowledge recognized as scientific in the Mathematics field

Formação docente e conhecimento profissional: desafios para o ensino da matemática na EJA

As for the Education for Youth and Adult (EYA), the challenge of training these teachers is to provide tools to understand and act on the teaching of mathematics. It is realized just how special education in this modality and as such teaching is lacking in an adequate and solid training in the area of knowledge. One of the major problems affecting this type of education is the high dropout and failure rates, and lack of motivation among students. Thus the need to provide differentiated profile with a professional to teach youth and adults students, so that they are able to mobilize didactic-pedagogic knowledge, methodologies and theoretical frameworks that serve as a basis for school-developed teaching practice. This thesis aims to investigate how the math teacher, who acts in adult education from elementary school, has developed its didactic and pedagogical action, and that professional knowledge has been mobilized to teach? It has highlighted the importance of initial and continuing training and professionalization of teachers dedicated to this specific type of education, when teachers should be the protagonists of their professional development. The methodological approach was begun with a literature review, then the research was anchored mainly on the ideas by Gauthier, Nuñez and Ramalho (2004); Imbernon (2011), Garcia (2006); Perrenoud (2000); Tardif (2007 ); Haddad, Di Pierro (2000), D'Ambrosio (2002), Mendes (2006, 2009), Freire (1996, 2011), and other theorists and official documents of field of adult education here and abroad. That work leads us to the understanding of the present moment from a foray into historical and conceptual aspects, as well as educational policies of EYA, as well as training, professionalism, knowledge and skills necessary for professional practice. Then, the subjects and the locus of research and the instrument for data collection were set up and led by the object of study. To consolidate the study was selected a sample of 27 mathematics teachers, working in municipal EYA Network Teaching of Natal. This research is in an investigative nature, within the quantitative and qualitative approaches focused on the responses of study subjects from the content analysis by Bardin (1977). Results from the analyzes have revealed that the initial training of mathematics teachers of adult education needs to be reconfigured in order to formalize the knowledge base of professionals (the mathematical content, didactics and professional knowledge). Thus the study suggests that this base knowledge is embedded in the pedagogical practice of these teachers, so that there is a completion of the teaching and learning process for young people and adults. The study also has pointed out that there is a need for teachers to participate in a continuing education plan that prioritizes learning situations of mathematical content considering the previous knowledge of the students. The final analyses thus indicate that knowledge of mathematics and the didactic and pedagogical strategies to be mobilized by teachers must be able to motivate the students in such a way that they feel need to incorporate in their knowledge, mathematical knowledge capable of making them more likely to have access to social, economic and labor market

Correspondências científicas como uma relação didática entre história e ensino de matemática: o exemplo das cartas de Euler a uma princesa da Alemanha

Lettres àune Princesse d'Allemagne sur divers sujets de physique et de philosophie (Letters to a Princess of Germany on various topics of physics and philosophy) is the work taken as an object of study of this thesis. It is a literary success written in the eighteenth century by the Swiss mathematician and physicist Leonhard Paul Euler (1707-1783) in order to meet a request from the Prussian king, Frederick II, the Great (1712-1786) to accept to guide the intellectual education of his niece, the young princess Anhalt-Dessau (1745-1808). The method of teaching and learning through letters elected to the education of the German monarch resulted in a collection of 234 matches in which Euler theory is about music, Philosophy, Mechanics, Optics, Astronomy, Theology and Ethics among others. The research seeks to point out mathematical content contained in this reference work based on the exploitation and adaptation of original historical works as an articulator of development activities for teaching mathematics in basic education and in accordance with the National Curriculum Parameters of Mathematics (NCP) work. The general objective point out the limits and didactic potential of Lettres à une Princesse d'Allemagne sur divers sujets de physique et de philosophie as a source of support for teachers of basic education in developing activities for teaching mathematics. The discussions raised point to concrete possibilities of entanglement between the extracted mathematical content of the bulge of the work with current teaching methodologies from resizing the use of letters according to Freire's pedagogical perspective of the correspondence, and especially the use of new communication channels in the century XXI, both aimed at dialogue and approximation between those who write and those who read.

Conteúdos de matemática do ensino médio com abordagem de raciocínio recursivo e questões do ENEM e OBMEP

In this work, we have the purpose of reminding the math teacher of High School the recursive process so that he/she can use this tool to introduce contents, using recursion as an alternative to the teaching of mathematics. For this, we used questions taken from the Exame Nacional do Ensino M´edio (ENEM) [National Examination of High School] and from the Olimp´ıada Brasileira de Matem´atica das Escolas P´ublicas (OBMEP) [Brazilian Mathematics Olympiad of Public Schools], in addition to present some contents of mathematics that are defined by recursion. In this dissertation, we also showed some activities that involved the recursive reasoning and were applied in a 3rd grade class of high school in a public school in Natal / RN.

Lousa digital no ensino de matemática

Using the digital whiteboard and its resources , classes become much more motivating and interesting than those that only require the chalk or whiteboard. In the face of still images , or moving, this technology has caused a broader interaction between the student, the content taught and the teacher bringing positive and significant changes to education. In this work, we discuss the technological evolution of education, new educational technologies, the digital blackboard and your pedagogical applications inmath classes and howthe teacher can mount it using resources available at the school and other relatively low cost. Finally, we will address the concept of homography and how it is applied in its operation.

Necessidades formativas em Matemática representadas nas vozes de um grupo de professoras dos anos iniciais da rede pública de ensino

Teacher training processes, initial and continuing, and professional practice of teachers who teach Mathematics in the early years are highlighted in the literature as complex, but also are regarded as the way to overcome many difficulties in teaching this component curriculum in the school stage in question. The aim of the study was to investigate how the training needs in Mathematics are represented by a group of teachers in the early years of elementary school of public health system of the city of Uberlândia, State of Minas Gerais. The research, qualitative approach, had as object of study the training needs, in Mathematics, of teachers in the early years. The research involved 16 teachers from two schools in the municipal public schools of that city. Data were collected through questionnaires, non-participant observations, semi-structured interviews followed by group and individual. Analyses were performed by means of thematic categories, founded by content analysis. Data interpretation allowed to understand training needs in mathematics that are presented to the collaborating group from their professional practice, considering the knowledge and skills necessary to teaching. It is understood that the teachers of the study group have major limitations in relation to the specific content and didactic knowledge of Mathematics content, however, the concern is that demonstrated not always being aware of it. Moreover, the difficulties experienced in teaching practice proven to be overcome by sources and non-formal training activities, primarily through more experienced colleagues in the profession. Thus, it becomes difficult to think the initial and continuing training courses for teachers without the training needs of the teaching practice is appreciated as an object of study.

Refletindo sobre a Prática Pedagógica: o contributo do ensino exploratório no desenvolvimento da capacidade de comunicação matemática

O presente relatório teve a sua génese no âmbito do Mestrado em En-sino do 1.º e do 2.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico e encontra-se dividido em duas partes distintas, que se complementam: a dimensão reflexiva e a dimensão investigativa. Na dimensão reflexiva apresenta-se um excerto do percurso de forma-ção docente e reflete-se, crítica e fundamentadamente, acerca das experiências vivenciadas em cada um dos contextos da Prática Peda-gógica. Estas reflexões retratam a forma singular de encarar a prática profissional e explanam o processo de (re)construção da minha identi-dade enquanto professora. A dimensão investigativa surgiu da experiência educativa, no âmbito da Prática Pedagógica realizada numa turma do 4.º ano de escolarida-de, e incidiu na área da comunicação matemática, num contexto de ensino exploratório. Este estudo apresenta um carácter qualitativo, na medida em que se pretende compreender e analisar o contributo do ensino exploratório no desenvolvimento da capacidade de comunica-ção matemática dos alunos. A recolha de dados incidiu sobre a realização de três tarefas matemáticas em aula, tendo sido registado em vídeo os momentos de discussão coletiva com a turma e realizada a análise de conteúdo das resoluções escritas dos alunos. Os resultados obtidos parecem demonstrar que a dinâmica do ensino exploratório proporcionou o desenvolvimento da capacidade de comunicação ma-temática dos alunos, através da participação em momentos de partilha, justificação e discussão de diferentes estratégias.

Educação matemática crítica na sala de aula: contributo na formação de jovens interventivos com a matemática

Os níveis de insucesso na disciplina de matemática nas nossas escolas associados à falta de motivação manifestada por muitos alunos por esta disciplina têm vindo a preocupar todos os intervenientes no processo educativo, que se empenham na busca incansável de novas metodologias que visem combater esta problemática. Surge a necessidade de repensar as práticas pedagógicas de forma a promover uma verdadeira educação matemática alternativa à visão tradicional que impera desde há muito nas nossas salas de aula. Mas, para além da taxa de insucesso e desinteresse, estarão os alunos com resultados notórios à disciplina preparados para participar de forma consciente e autónoma na sociedade onde se encontram inseridos? Será que o ensino da matemática contribui para emancipar estes jovens? Através deste estudo pretendi compreender de que forma a implementação, nas aulas de matemática, de atividades elaboradas à luz da Educação Matemática Crítica poderá contribuir na formação de jovens interventivos com a matemática. A abordagem teórica reflete algumas das minhas preocupações sobre educação matemática, transparecendo a visão de alguns autores sobre esta ao longo dos tempos; analisa o porquê do insucesso do atual modelo de Educação Matemática nas nossas escolas e, por fim, contempla a urgência de uma transição para um tipo de ensino alicerçado numa Educação Matemática Crítica que eduque para a cidadania como resposta ao fracasso dado pelo modelo tradicional às exigências sociais. Esta abordagem teórica abriu portas a novos conhecimentos acerca do que deverá ser uma “verdadeira” educação matemática. O estudo realizado foi do tipo qualitativo e tomou como método a observação participante. A recolha de dados foi realizada através de análises críticas a notícias vinculadas à comunicação social e através da realização de propostas de trabalho envolvendo situações reais e presentes na vivência dos meus alunos, nas quais eles tiveram que investigar e interagir com conceitos matemáticos de forma a tomarem posições críticas perante as mesmas. Algumas atividades geraram a aquisição de novos conhecimentos matemáticos devido à necessidade de justificação das suas opiniões. Através desta investigação ficou evidente a necessidade de alterar o poder formatador da matemática nas nossas práticas como professores e substituir as mesmas pela realização de atividades que proporcionem o desenvolvimento da capacidade dos alunos interagirem criticamente. Neste tipo de tarefas, os alunos mostraram-se mais motivados que na resolução de atividades rotineiras que estavam habituados a realizar. Também reconheceram a importância da Educação Matemática Crítica na sua formação e como promessa ficou a continuação da realização de mais atividades deste género.

Re…pensar o ensino da Matemática : Dinâmicas de promoção do sucesso escolar

Decorre desde o início setembro de 2015 uma oficina de formação, intitulada “Matemática Passo a Passo: Estratégias de Superação de Dificuldades para o 1.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico”, uma parceria entre a Universidade dos Açores e a Secretaria Regional da Educação e Cultura do Governo dos Açores, no contexto do programa ProSucesso – Açores pela Educação. Nesta oficina participam os cerca de 50 professores DA (professores qualificados na deteção, caracterização e resolução de dificuldades de aprendizagem no 1.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico), provenientes de todas as unidades orgânicas da Região que ministram o 1.º Ciclo, cuja ação tem incidido no corrente ano letivo na superação de dificuldades a Matemática no 1.º ano de escolaridade, em estreita cooperação com os professores titulares. A ação do professor DA tem por base estudos provenientes das neurociências cognitivas, que explicam como o nosso cérebro aprende Matemática, e alguns casos de sucesso do ensino da Matemática no Mundo, como é o exemplo da Finlândia, com um sistema de apoio de características similares, e de Singapura, que nos apresenta centenas de pequenos pormenores de ordem científica e didática amplamente testados em vários países. Um objetivo fundamental do Projeto Prof DA, no contexto do ensino da Matemática, centra-se na promoção de aprendizagens mais significativas, estimulando o cálculo mental, o raciocínio matemático e a resolução de problemas. Não se pode gostar daquilo que não se compreende. Daí que as estratégias promovidas visem uma compreensão profunda da matemática elementar. (...) Das várias iniciativas organizadas pelo grupo de 50 professores DA da Região, destaca-se o evento “Re...pensar o ensino da Matemática: Dinâmicas de promoção do sucesso escolar”, que se realizou entre 4 e 6 de julho, na EBS de Vila Franca do Campo.
