Proposta de uma base de dados terminológica para o ensino bilingue em Cabo Verde: nas áreas de Ciências Integradas e Matemática

A presente dissertação propõem um glossário bilingue que seja um instrumento útil no ensino bilingue em Cabo Verde. A língua cabo-verdiana é um crioulo de base portuguesa, e dessa forma muito do seu léxico é importado do português. Mas mesmo assim o sentido das palavras ou mesmo das expressões que se assemelham podem ser diferentes. Um glossário bilingue no ensino bilingue é uma ferramenta importante pois oferece equivalentes que conseguem transmitir o mesmo sentido, ou que transmitem o sentido mais adequado as realidades culturais de uma determinada sociedade. A análise dos contextos diglossicos e bilingues fornecem uma base para compreender melhor o contexto sociolinguístico de Cabo Verde. É possível verificar a forte presença do português e do cabo-verdiano. Ambas acontecem em situações complementares. O português é produzido maioritariamente, senão exclusivamente em situações formais, ao contrário do cabo-verdiano que faz parte do quotidiano da vida das pessoas. A forma como o português é adquirido/aprendido é completamente diferente da língua cabo-verdiana. O português é considerado a língua segunda, e o cabo-verdiano é a língua materna. A língua do colonizador normalmente é concedido o estatuto de oficial, e isso é visível em vários outros países que já foram colónias. A Terminologia é uma disciplina que faz interface com várias áreas. A vocabularização e terminologização permitem a interface e são processos que dão possibilidade de importar termos de outras áreas sejam elas científicas ou não. A utilização de questionários, entrevistas, uso de textos em cabo-verdiano e levantamento de termos dos manuais permitiu analisar melhor os dados e propor termos equivalentes em cabo-verdiano. As análises permitem ver as diferenças entre os códigos linguísticos, justificando assim a importância do presente trabalho.

O ensino e a literacia matemática em Portugal : um estudo no terceiro ciclo do ensino básico. 'Educación matemática y alfabetización en Portugal : un estudio sobre el tercer ciclo de la educación básica'.

Analizar la relación entre el autoconcepto en matemáticas, la enseñanza de las prácticas implementadas por el profesor de matemáticas en el aula y los alumnos de la escuela en matemáticas al final del tercer ciclo de la educación básica.

La muestra comprende 285 estudiantes en el noveno año de educación del tercer ciclo de la educación básica, en dos escuelas públicas en el distrito de Oporto, de situación urbana y rural. Las variables del estudio, se dividen en dependientes e independientes. Las variables dependientes se definen en: autoconcepto en matemáticas y rendimiento académico. En las variables independientes se destacan: género, nivel socio-económico y geográfico de residencia. Los instrumentos para el estudio son variados. Se parte del análisis de bases de datos, revistas diversas, artículos, informes y otros documentos políticos, bibliotecas y hemerotecas. Sirviendo de ayuda para la elaboración de los instrumentos específicos de aplicación en los sujetos: cuestionario de caracterización socio-demográfica, cuestionario de rendimiento escolar, cuestionario de prácticas lectivas implementadas en el aula y escala de autoconocimiento de las matemáticas. Todos los datos obtenidos son analizados mediante el programa estadístico SPSS. Los profesores de matemáticas, deben reflexionar sobre la necesidad de un cambio de postura y acción, que puede desencadenar una mejora significativa en el conocimiento que sus alumnos adquieren en matemáticas. La enseñanza de las matemáticas, debe ser lo suficiente estimulante y compensadora para que los estudiantes deseen seguir utilizándolas durante toda la vida.

A funcionalidade da Avaliação em Matemática no Ensino Médio

The evaluation appears as a natural process in which a professional education to build a notion of content assimilated by the students as well as whether the teaching methods adopted by him are having an effect on learning of these. Long meant, to apply only to evaluate evidence, a grade and classify students in approved and disapproved. Even today there are teachers who believe that assessment is only in this process. However, this vision has been gradually modified. The evaluation is not at the time of carrying out tests and checks, but is an ongoing process, aimed at reflection for error correction and forwarding the student to acquire the expected objectives. This study was designed to analyze the data from the result of the survey, we can see that the form evaluative functions as an element of integration and motivation for the teaching-learning process. The speech of most education professionals interviewed here reflects the current notion that the evaluation process is currently understood not only as the result of the tests, but the results of the work and / or research that students perform. There are numerous evaluative techniques that allow the teacher to evaluate student performance and escape the traditional written exam, allowing teachers and students to dialogue sought to find and correct possible errors by redirecting the student for learning, motivating for the correction, and suggesting to him new ways of study for better understanding of the issues addressed within the class. The key is to understand that the evaluation process is not just about taking exams and assign grade. Evaluation is a continuous learning process that occurs every day in order to correct mistakes and build new knowledge.

Gestão pública compartilhada: o caso do programa de melhoria do ensino de ciências e matemática - Pró-ciências

This paper is a follow up of the study of the evolution of the public policies for education, especially in the areas of improvement in the science and mathematics program, whose main purpose is to qualify teachers is these disciplines. The evaluation of strategies adopted by the Department of education for the implementation and development of the program in the states, which, on a decentralized bases and through its administrative structure is responsible for contracting higher Education Institutions in charge of preparatory courses. It discusses the enforcement of such a strategy and analyses the combined efforts between the federal sphere, represented by the coordination of preparatory courses for Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) and the Departments of Education, Science and Technology of the states, Research Spowsoring Foundations and the Federal Universities, breaking with some governmental traditions. It analyses the greater degree of interaction between the curriculum for public schools and the developments achieved in the many fields of knowledge. It is based on parameters in the proposals disposed by the law of the methods and fundamentals education, methods of curriculum, and national teaching standards, as well as studies carried out in the states that demand the biggest quantity of qualifying projects, trough analyses that are focused on the problems regarding science teaching in the Brazil and the format adopted in the implementation of the program.

Dificuldades no processo de ensino: aprendizagem em matemática no 1. e 2. graus

Este estudo trata das dificuldades que os professores de matemática encontram na sua prática diária de sala de aula, dificuldades estas que sempre existiram e parecem persistir apesar das tentativas de solucioná-las. O trabalho desenvolveu-se através de entrevistas, ob servações de aulas e reuniões de área. Os maiores problemas apontados foram: formação do professor, conteúdo programático, aprendizagem, avaliação e dificuldades dos alunos. Cada um destes itens foi aprofundado sempre que necessario. Procurou-se esclarecer todos e com isto encontrar caminhos. Após caracterizá-los, passou-se às dificuldades dos alunos; são enfocadas apenas as mais significativas, segundo os professores. Foi aplicado um teste onde muitas delas se confirmaram. Concluiu-se que a prática da matemática em nossas escolas continua ineficiente. O seu ensino não acompanha as necessidades da sociedade, os professores tendem a abandonar a profissão por causa dos baixos salários, os alunos são reprovados em massa e abandonam seus estudos, os livros apenas acrescentam ou retiram conteúdos, as escolas continuam formando alunos passivos e pouco criticos em relação à matemáti ca. Muitas tentativas ainda serão feitas mas nao se pode contar com a certeza do retorno porque o professor não é valorizado e nem ouvido quando se trata de apresentar propostas. Os poucos resultados positivos observados partiram deles que sempre procuram soluções práticas e não dispendiosas para resolver seus problemas. Finalizando o trabalho foram apresentadas sugestões dos professores e se acredita que muitas produzem resultado positivo em pouco tempo.

Produção de sentidos e construção de conceitos na relação ensino/aprendizagem da matemática

Esta tese tem o objetivo de mostrar que o sujeito aprendente, ao se deparar com um conceito matemático já construído por ele, pode, em outro contexto, atribuir-lhe novos sentidos e re-significá-lo. Para tanto, a investigação se apóia em duas teorias filosóficas: a filosofia de Immanuel Kant e a filosofia de Ludwig Wittgenstein. Também buscamos subsídios teóricos em autores contemporâneos da filosofia da matemática, tais como Gilles-Gaston Granger, Frank Pierobon, Maurice Caveing e Marco Panza. No decorrer do processo da aprendizagem, o conceito matemático está sempre em estado de devir, na perspectiva do aluno, mesmo que este conceito seja considerado imutável sob o ponto de vista da lógica e do rigor da Matemática. Ao conectar o conceito com outros conceitos, o sujeito passa a reinterpretá-lo e, a partir desta outra compreensão, ele o reconstrói. Ao atribuir sentidos em cada ato de interpretação, o conceito do objeto se modifica conforme o contexto. As estruturas sintáticas semelhantes, em que figura o objeto, e as aparências semânticas provenientes da polissemia da linguagem oferecem material para as analogias entre os conceitos. As conjeturas nascidas destas analogias têm origem nas representações do objeto percebido, nas quais estão de acordo com a memória e a imaginação do sujeito aprendente. A imaginação é a fonte de criação e sofre as interferências das ilusões provenientes do ato de ver, já que o campo de visão do aluno está atrelado ao contexto no qual se encontra o objeto. A memória, associada às experiências vividas com o objeto matemático e à imaginação, oferece condições para a re-significação do conceito. O conceito antes de ser interpretado pelo aluno obedece às exigências e à lógica da matemática, após a interpretação depende da própria lógica do aluno. A modificação do conceito surge no momento em que o sujeito, ao interpretar a regra matemática, estabelece novas regras forjadas durante o processo de sua aplicação. Na contingência, o aluno projeta sentidos aos objetos matemáticos (que têm um automovimento previsto), porém a sua imaginação inventiva é imprevisível. Nestas circunstâncias, o conceito passa a ser reconstruível a cada ato de interpretação. As condições de leitura e de compreensão do objeto definem a construção do conceito matemático, a qual está em constante mudança.

Dificuldade de berço? Professores de matemática no ensino médio: práticas, formação continuada e juventude

The present paper is focused on pedagogical practices and continued lecturing formation of High School Mathematic teachers. Knowing the essential importance of the teacher at the educational process since he/she is the mediator on knowledge gathering by the scholars and continued formation meaning on that process, we hereby propose to investigate and compare what Math teachers think about their professional role, the kind of continued formation they receive and their development on teacher s knowledge and doing; to gather and compare what do Math teachers know about young people at public and private schools and their demands and as which find out if they link with the way as their students are taught. To develop our comparative research, we chose a qualitative focus and an investigation of ethnographic type. We took as the subject four Math teachers that work with high school 1st and 2nd grades in public and private schools, morning and afternoon shifts and license titles. The research results reveal differences in structural matter between the spaces, but the comparisons between teacher doings and knowledge reveal that the differences refer to the sort of formation and how often do the teachers search for it. Nevertheless, the reports pointed to continued lecturing formation offering and consistence problems and these reflect on their work and on its basis. The knowledge about youth and adolescence, such as theoric and methodological knowledge that lead their practices, are revealers of teachers difficulties in developing their activities according to the target public and nowadays educational demands

Utilizando processos geométricos da história da matemática para o ensino de equações do 2º grau

The present work had as principal objective to analyze the, 9th grade students understanding about the solutions of an equation of the 2° degree, using geometric processes of the History of the Mathematics. To do so, the research had as base the elaboration and application of a group of teaching activities, based on Jean Piaget's construtivism. The research consisted of a methodological intervention, that has as subjects the students of a group of 9th grade of the State School José Martins de Vasconcelos, located in the municipal district of Mossoró, Rio Grande do Norte. The intervention was divided in three stages: application of an initial evaluation; development of activities‟ module with emphasis in constructive teaching; and the application of the final evaluation. The data presented in the initial evaluation revealed a low level of the students' understanding with relationship to the calculation of areas of rectangles, resolution of equations of the 1st and 2nd degrees, and they were to subsidize the elaboration of the teaching module. The data collected in the initial evaluation were commented and presented under descriptive statistics form. The results of the final evaluation were analyzed under the qualitative point of view, based on Richard Skemp's theory on the understanding of mathematical concepts. The general results showed a qualitative increase with relationship to the students' understanding on the mathematical concepts approached in the intervention. Such results indicate that a methodology using the previous student‟s knowledge and the development of teaching activities, learning in the construtivist theory, make possible an understanding on the part of the students concerning the thematic proposal

A formação pós-graduada em ensino de ciências naturais e matemática de docentes do IFRN: implicações na atuação docente

This research part of the educational context of the Federal Rio Grande do Norte, through the resumption of legal frameworks that characterize it as an institution belonging to the Federal Network of Professional Education and Technology Brazilian, with a focus on continued education policies for the servers who work there specifically teachers, especially those who have their work in the Teaching of Natural Science and Mathematics. To do this the cut in an agreement between the IFRN and UFRN PPGECNM through the professional master's degree Teaching of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. This agreement as we have research collaborators 08 master teachers who graduated in the period 2004 to 2010, so we undertook a qualitative and quantitative research aimed to conduct the study in general terms of description and analysis of the impacts caused by the formation of masters IFRN in PPGECNM UFRN, taking into account the production of the same academic (dissertation), his performance in the context of the institution and the historical, social, economic and political aspects involved, and also meet the guidelines of the project at the Observatory in 2008 - MEC / CAPES / BSD-P. We used the theoretical options methodological elements of Comprehensive Interview and multireferentiality, our data collection instrument was the main interview, we also performed the analysis of dissertations by lecturers and teachers featured, from the specific descriptors used in catalogs USP / IFUSP (1992, 1996) and UNICAMP / FE / CEDOC (1998) and by other researchers. In analyzing and understanding the speech of the interviewees were able to identify the implications of teacher education in the school context, the motivation to seek the Master; how was the construction of the object of study of the educational product and its use in teaching practice and intervention, the question of the role of master teachers in the school environment to the post master taking into account changes in professional performance and influence in the working groups, how does the use of research and investigation in the classroom after training and between training and educational quality in the context of IFRN. In reading and analysis of the dissertations were able to identify the main focus and under-explored thematic focus as well as the theoretical methodological references. At the end of the research developed a product that could be used for technical analysis studies and assessment in quantitative terms the results achieved by the master teachers IFRN through his training in PPGECNM UFRN

Linguagem matemática: uma proposta de ensino e avaliação da compreensão leitora dos objetos da matemática

This paper discusses aspects related to the mathematical language and its understanding, in particular, by students of final years of elementary school. Accordingly, we aimed to develop a proposal for teaching, substantiated by mathematical modeling activities and reading, which takes advantage of the student of elementary school a better understanding of mathematical language for the content of proportion. We also aim to build / propose parameters for the assessment of reading proficiency of the language of the student in analyzing and modeling process, its ability to develop/improve/enhance this proficiency. For this purpose, we develop a qualitative research, with procedures for an action research whose analysis of the data is configured as Content Analysis. We refer to epistemological and didactic, in the studies: Piaget (1975, 1990), Vygotsky (1991, 2001), Bakhtin (2006), Freire (1974, 1994), Bicudo and Garnica (2006), Smole and Diniz (2001), Barbosa (2001), Burak (1992), Biembengut (2004), Bassanezi (2002), Carrasco (2006), Becker (2010), Zuin and Reyes (2010), among others. We understand that to acquire new knowledge one must learn to read and reading to learn it, this process is essential for the development of reading proficiency of a person. Modeling, in turn, is a process which enables contact with different forms of reading providing elements favorable to the development here mentioned. The evaluation parameters we use to analyze the level of reading proficiency of mathematical language proved to be effective and therefore a valuable tool that allows the teacher an efficient evaluation and whose results can guide you better in the planning and execution of their practice

Avaliação de Interações entre Professor e Alunos na Educação Matemática: ensino e aprendizagem de recursos pedagógicos

The aim of this paper is to discuss the teachers' need, as autonomous professionals, to evaluate their own pratice. Considering that Descriptive Functional Analysis (DFA) may be a pedagogical method for analysis, implementation, and change of teachers' mathematics teaching practices, the objective of the present research was to teach repertoires compatible with DFA to two mathematics teachers in elementary schools of São Paulo state. When teachers are responsible for evaluation and self evaluation, they recognize themselves as fundamental agents of transformation in education.
