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, ...

Formação inicial do professor de matemática com uso de tecnologias da informação e comunicação no contexto da escola pública

This paper intends to analyze which contribution for teachers formative training the participation on extension projects can bring to the bachelors in Mathematics teaching. The research was conducted during the developing of a Project from the Program of Extension - Programa de Extensão UFU/Comunidade (PEIC) in a municipal school located in a country zone from Uberlândia-MG. The research was constituted by a series of activities with students from the ninth year of the Fundamental Education, Middle School. The main focus is the work developed by two bachelors of Mathemactics teaching from the Federal University from Uberlândia who were part of the PEIC team. This present research intends to answer the following question: How the extension project “Information technology and communication on Mathematics problem resolution in country zone schools” has contribited to reinforce and to (re)criate the fomative experiences of students from the Mathematics teaching course who have developed such project? The presente study is from a qualitative nature and has made use of the partaker searching methodology. The presente paper was organized in three chapters. On chapter I evidence is given to theoretical discussion made, having as main references the works of Larrosa, Ponte e Shön. Chapter II brings the description of the three activities that were developed and aplied during the PEIC Project, which are: Problems in the Park, Inaccessible Hight and Lili Game. On chapter III, the data analysis is presented. The data was obtained through instruments of registration such as: camera recording, photografic material, meetings reports, field notes, surveys and semi-structured interviews. The initial hypothesis aim is on the fact that the participation on extention projects during the graduation course can bring rich contribution for the teachers to be, since it’s going to provide the knowledge and chalenge close to the one from the future profession. With the analysis of the obtained results from the colected data, it was possible to conclude that the PEIC has provided the bachelors in Mathematics teching the opportunity of recreate and potenciate their formative experiences. Such opportunity happened in situations that involved, for example, planning makings, development of colective work, softwares usage, different school spaces and the direct interaction with school bureaucracy. Beyond that, it was possible to work with the cocepts of reflection in action in a way to contribute to the professional development of the future Mathematics teachers. Thereby, in our final considerations, is possible to conclude that extension projects performed during the graduation course can bring great contributions to the professional formation of the bachelors in Mathematics teaching, among them we highlight the potentiation of the previous formative experiences and the development of colective work and behavior related to a reflexive teacher.

Educação matemática: pesquisas e possibilidades

This book presents a current overview of themes that entangle research in Mathematics Education, which were produced in conjunction with professors who act in the Mathematics Education field at PPGECM (Science and Mathematics Post-graduation Program), that counts with professors from many universities, especially UFPR (Paraná's Federal University), UTFPR (Paraná's Technological Federal University) and UDESC (Santa Catarina's Federal University).The set of texts brings some areas of interest, studies that are in development and research that have been completed. It is expected that the chapters present the program, aspects of its production, interests and theoretical/methodological relations, contributing to the strengthening of Mathematics Education as a research field and familiarization and deepening of the topics discussed.

Ensaio da Ferramenta DIA Diagnóstico e Informação do aluno

Apresentamos os resultados de nossa pesquisa para concepção, execuçãoo e avaliação de uma ferramenta adaptativa informatizada, denominada DIA, que permita tanto avaliar como fornecer feedback a estudantes sob uma perspectiva de avaliação formativa. Na primeira etapa, usamos os PCN: Ciências da Natureza, Matemática e suas Tecnologias (BRASIL, 1998) e as Matrizes Curriculares de Referência do Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais - INEP, para o Sistema de Avaliação para a Educação Básica- SAEB (BRASIL, 2005), para construir uma escala, em que os objetivos estão em ordem crescente, de acordo com o desenvolvimento vertical da construção do conhecimento em Matemática. Entrelaçamos os objetivos propostos para criar um Banco de Itens (BI), que foi usado em nossas simulações. Analisamos os resultados obtidos em nosso ensaio para avaliar o diálogo entre o BI e a escala sob a perspectiva de oferecer um diagnóstico de lacunas na construção do conhecimento matemático. Em nosso ensaio, simulamos o funcionamento da ferramenta DIA através de um teste adaptativo informatizado baseado na Teoria de Resposta ao Item (TRI). Também estamos interessados em determinar um perfil de um Banco de Itens, que seja capaz de forma significativa de dialogar com nossa escala através de TRI. A escala e o banco de itens a ela associado devem viabilizar um feedback construtivo que ajude os alunos a desenvolverem competências metacognitivas.
