This study aims to understand how the practice of planning and leading whole-class discussions in mathematics may develop in lesson study (LS). To achieve it, we looked at teachers’ final reflections searching for productive networks that illustrate that relationship. This study is qualitative and interpretative. We analyze groups of middle school teachers (grade 5 and grade 6) by using discourse analysis. Data...
In exploratory teaching, the pupils learn from their work on tasks that aim to introduce new concepts, procedures, representations and mathematical ideas. Lesson study, with its focus on teachers’ collaborative and reflective work around issues of pupil learning, is a powerful formative process that may be used in preservice teacher education, sustaining an exploratory teaching approach. In this article, we pre...
Critical mathematics education is concerned with the connection between mathematics education and social issues. Working with landscapes of investigation is a way to address this concern in mathematics classes. In this article, we seek to understand how primary teachers use landscapes of investigation in their teaching practice from the involvement in in-service teacher education. Specifically, we discuss how G...
O objetivo deste artigo é caracterizar o uso da linguagem algébrica por alunos de 9.º ano, no que se refere a estratégias, significados e dificuldades. Para tal, discutimos as produções decorrentes da realização de uma tarefa de cunho algébrico por seis alunos. Os resultados mostram o uso de estratégias simbólicas e de estratégias baseadas na reflexão informal e a atribuição de significados adequados a símbolos...
Within the scope of research in mathematics education, teacher education to primary schools has been a particular focus of study. Some studies has shown that there is little space in the programmes of initial teacher education for the deepening of mathematical content, given the polyvalent nature of the formation of these teachers (Curi, 2013). Researchers argue that this is due to the idea that mathematics tau...
En la investigación sobre Educación Matemática, los estudios han señalado la existencia de escasa atención en la formación inicial del profesorado de primaria a la exploración de los contenidos matemáticos a partir de discusiones críticas orientadas a su uso pedagógico en la comprensión de los problemas sociales emergentes (Gutstein, 2018). Sin embargo, el tratamiento de estas y otras cuestiones en las clases d...
Este artigo procura evidenciar o contributo científico de Leonor Santos relativamente aos estudos sobre o professor de Matemática, organizando-se em seis temas: estudos sobre a prática profissional do professor, sobre a formação inicial e os professores iniciantes, sobre formação contínua, sobre formação de formadores, sobre o balanço de estudos internacionais e sobre o balanço de estudos na Quadrante. Os estud...
In Mathematics Education research, studies have pointed out the existence of little attention in initial primary teacher education for the exploration of mathematical content from critical discussions aimed at its pedagogical use in understanding emerging social problems, such as social inequalities, climate and environmental changes, and violence (Gutstein, 2018). However, the treatment of these and other issu...
Primary teacher education for the exploration of mathematical content from critical discussions aimed at its pedagogical use in understanding emerging social issues (Gutstein, 2018). However, the treatment of these and other issues in mathematics classes has increasingly become a requirement of basic school curricula. As a consequence, many primary teachers, especially those at the beginning of their careers, d...
