A formação inicial de professores de matemática em atividades investigativas durante o estágio

A investigação em foco aconteceu no âmbito da formação inicial de professores de Matemática. Houve inserção de licenciandos no contexto da pesquisa. Nesse sentido, conjugaram-se estágio supervisionado e práticas de pesquisa. Os graduandos analisados eram estudantes da disciplina Estágio Supervisionado IV (voltada para o magistério de nível médio) da Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA). Nos encontros de planejamento – durante o semestre letivo anterior, mais especificamente no transcorrer da disciplina Estágio Supervisionado III –, aconteceram discussões acerca da figura do professor pesquisador e a propósito da elaboração de projetos de pesquisa, além de explanações, por especialistas convidados, sobre os seguintes assuntos: (i) tendências em Educação Matemática; (ii) avaliação docente; (iii) didática da Matemática e (iv) projetos de “investigação em aula”. Tais explanações constituíram-se em fontes de auxílio e de motivação para os licenciandos, não em imposições de assuntos a investigar. Eles foram exortados a fazer leituras em periódicos, em livros, em textos disponíveis na Internet etc., com vistas tanto à aquisição de respaldo para a construção de seus projetos quanto ao ganho de subsídios para – no semestre letivo seguinte – as suas intervenções didático-investigativas. Quanto às atividades na escola-laboratório, os estagiários realizaram, em ambiente onde dispuseram de anuência da comunidade escolar, “pesquisas acerca de sua prática docente”. Por sua vez, o autor desta tese, o qual era professor das disciplinas Estágio Supervisionado III e Estágio Supervisionado IV, portanto orientador dos estagiários, analisou as pesquisas realizadas por eles. Mais especificamente, o autor buscou responder [através da análise qualitativa de: (i) diálogos; (ii) relatos orais; (iii) entrevistas semiestruturadas; (iv) observações/percepções; (v) relatórios (escritos) de pesquisa elaborados pelos estagiários; e (vi) respostas dos estagiários a questionários semiabertos] à seguinte pergunta: “que aspectos das práticas de investigação repercutem na constituição da identidade de professores de Matemática em formação inicial?”. Estágio supervisionado, Pesquisa docente & Identidade do (futuro) professor de Matemática denotaram, em uma perspectiva complexa, elementos centrais neste trabalho. O objetivo foi “investigar a constituição da identidade de professores de Matemática em formação inicial na realização de atividades investigativas durante o estágio supervisionado”. Concluiu-se, por ocasião da fase prática deste trabalho doutoral, que “houve repercussão de aspectos das práticas de investigação tanto na constituição da dimensão particular ou individual quanto na constituição da dimensão geral, formal ou conceitual da identidade profissional de cada sujeito/estagiário analisado”.
