Práticas etnomatemáticas no Liceu do Paracuri :a propósito dos ornamentos geométricos da cerâmica

The present study analyzes the ethnomatematics practices presents in the creation of the geometric ornaments of the icoaraciense ceramic, originated and still practiced in the neighborhood of Paracuri, District of Icoaraci, belonging to Belém, capital of the State of Pará/Brasil. The object of our study was centered at the workshops supplied by the artisans master of the School of Arts and Occupations, Master Raimundo Cardoso. Referred school provides to its students, formation at fundamental level as well professional formation, through vocational workshops that help to maintain alive the practice of the icoaraciense ceramic. Our interest of researching that cultural and vocational practice appeared when we got in touch with that School, during the development of activities of a discipline of the degree course of mathematics. In order to reach our objective, we accomplished, initially, a research about the icoaraciense ceramic historic, since the first works with the clay until to the main characteristics of that ceramic. Soon afterwards, we discussed on ethnomatematics, culture, knowledge, cognition and mathematical education. At the end, we analyzed the creation of the geometric ornaments of the icoaraciense ceramic, considering the proportion concepts, symmetry and some geometry notions, that are used by the artisans when they are ornamenting the pieces of that ceramic. We verified that, in spite of the artisans, usually, do not demonstrate to possess a bit of domain on the mathematical concepts that they are working with, for instance, the ones of translaction symmetry, rotation and reflection, they demonstrate full safety in the use of those concepts, as well as the capacity to recognize them, even if in a singular specific and very peculiar way, what opens the possibility of a partnership among mathematics teachers and master-artisans of the archeological ceramic and icoaraciense workshops

A modelagem matemática como alternativa de ensino e aprendizagem da geometria na educação de jovens e adultos

This is work itself insert in the mathematics education field of the youth and adult education to aim to practitioners of the educational action into the mathematics area performing to with this is teaching kind, adopting to as parameter the Mathematics Molding approach. The motive of the research is to draw up a application proposal of the molding mathematics as teaching and learning geometry alternative in the youth and adult education. The research it develops in three class of the third level (series 5th and 6th) of he youth and adults education in the one school municipal from the Natal outskirts. Its have qualitative nature with participating observation approach, once performing to directly in to research environment as a mathematics teacher of those same classes. We are used questionnaires, lesson notes and analyses of the officials documents as an basis of claim instruments. The results indicates that activity used the mathematic moldings were appreciated the savoir-faire of the student in to knowledge construction process, when search develop to significant learning methods, helping to student build has mathematics connections with other knowledge areas and inside mathematics himself, so much that enlarges your understanding and assist has in your participation in the other socials place, over there propitiate to change in student and teacher posture with relation to mathematic classroom dynamics

Contribuições da investigação em sala de aula para uma aprendizagem das secções cônicas com significado

In this work, the didactical possibilities of investigation use in classroom, through an experience with high school students from Federal Center of Technological Education of Paraíba, as well as the study of conic sections were analysed. In order to fulfill our goals the theoretical conceptions concerning the meaninful learning in conection with the investigation of mathematics history were taken into account. The classroom research occurred by means of activities which encouraged the learner to investigate his own concepts on the conic sections. The results of the proposed activities showed the effectiveness and the efficiency of such a methodology as regards the making up of the required knowledge. They also reveal that the investigation in the classroom guides the ones involved, in this process, to have a wider look at the origins, the methods used and the several representations presented by mathematics that certainly lead, specially the students, to a meaninful learning

Atribuição de significado ao conceito de proporcionalidade: contribuições da história da matemática

This study is the result of a work which approaches the Mathematics History how source of the meaning s attribution in the proportionality concept. We adopt the methodology of the source qualitative and we work with a group of teachers from instruction s public system of the fundamental and medium level from Pocinhos City Paraíba. For the data collection, we use the field notes, the questionnaire, a sequence of activities and the interview semistructured like instruments. The study had how objective to know the significates attributeds to proportionality concept through of the activity mediate from Mathematics History, besides to investigate if a approach of the nature enables modification according to this sense. The results obtaineds though the data analysis indicate that the activities bring contributions which refer to achieve objectives. On the other hand they also showed that we have a long trajectory to be trailed in the meaning of to turn the Mathematics History a subsidy effective in the teachers practice, in view of the formation absence in the knowledge area, besides the necessity of the approach adequated of the Mathematics History in the didatics books of Mathematic

Recorte dos produtos educacionais em história no ensino da matemática e em didática da matemática a partir das dissertações e teses defendidas no brasil entre 1990-2010

This work has the main purpose of conducting a survey of educational products present in dissertations and doctoral theses focused on the use of history in mathematics teaching and Didactics of mathematics with a French foundation produced in graduate programs in the strict sense of the Brazil between 1990 and 2010, the areas of Education, Mathematics Education, school of Natural Sciences and Mathematics and related areas, according to the research proposal of Mendes (2010). Our interest was to select the products that present concrete proposals for educational activities that can be used in the classroom of Basic Education and Training of Teachers of Mathematics. The research was implemented through a bibliographic study documents the Bank of dissertations and theses from CAPES, libraries and archives of some Postgraduate programs in the country who focus their studies on the subject object of this research, besides the Brazilian Digital Library Theses and Dissertations (BDBTD). From this survey we selected works that present educational products materialized in blocks of activities based on the use of teaching history of mathematics to the classroom as well as the sequence of activities based on the Teaching of Mathematics. In possession of material, produce a CD-ROM containing the selected activities, in order to help support the work of teachers regarding the use of these activities, as a supplementary material to textbooks in their math classes

Formação de professores de matemática: um estudo sobre a influência da formação pedagógica prévia em um curso de licenciatura

O presente texto tem como objetivo discutir a influência da formação pedagógica prévia em um curso específico de Licenciatura em Matemática. Como instância prévia de formação este artigo considera o CEFAM, e o curso de Licenciatura em foco é o da Faculdade de Ciências da UNESP de Bauru. O enfoque metodológico é nitidamente qualitativo, tendo sido os procedimentos analíticos pautados no estudo de convergências e divergências detectadas nos discursos dos estudantes-depoentes.

Um ensaio sobre as concepções de professores de Matemática: possibilidades metodológicas e um exercício de pesquisa

Este artigo tem como tema principal as concepções dos professores de Matemática. Considerando o termo concepção a partir do pragmatismo de Peirce, elabora-se um conjunto de parâmetros metodológicos - chamado de método indireto - a ser aplicado no estudo das concepções de professores de Matemática. Trata-se, em síntese, de investigar as concepções dos professores interpelando-os não sobre suas crenças, mas sobre suas práticas. Fundamentando essa abordagem indireta e explicitando-a em sua natureza qualitativa, o artigo segue apresentando, como exemplo, um exercício desse método indireto: um estudo sobre os critérios que os professores utilizam quando escolhem livros-texto para sua sala de aula, abordando, conseqüentemente, quais concepções de Matemática e de seu ensino e aprendizagem tais critérios desvendam. Partindo de depoimentos de professores de Matemática, o estudo indica que os professores agem com certa independência quando escolhem os materiais utilizados em suas atividades docentes. Buscam, ao mesmo tempo, apoio em uma vasta gama de livros didáticos, desconsiderando as particularidades de cada obra e as abordagens e perspectivas defendidas por seus autores. Embora submetam-se ao livro didático - considerado uma referência legítima e segura -, os professores o subvertem, buscando adequá-lo ao que consideram correto. Dessa constatação, algumas das concepções dos professores podem ser realçadas: o aluno, via de regra, é avaliado e classificado pelas lacunas que apresenta em relação aos conteúdos. Dessa postura, segue a valorização da precedência lógica dos conteúdos, de sua apresentação linear, e a defesa de pré-requisitos que viabilizariam o ensino e, conseqüentemente, implicam a legitimidade de aulas predominantemente expositivas.
