The initial teacher education courses for Mathematics aim to promote an adequate education in mathematics and mathematics didactics. Equally or even more important than this education is understanding how the preservice teacher should build new knowledge from the activities they undertake. Considering the teaching practicum, this study aims to understand the contribution of the graphic calculator that complies ...
Fortalecer, nos alunos, a compreensão conceptual e de procedimentos matemáticos, o pensamento crítico, a literacia matemática, e desenvolver aptidões para a interpretação da realidade social – e, com isso, criar possibilidades para que desconstruam as relações de poder e as desigualdades de recursos e de oportunidades – é o repto central da educação matemática para a justiça social. Com base neste princípio ori...
The times of the last pandemic that plagued humanity challenged educators to find alternatives to face-to-face teaching, which arose through technological applications. Based on the symbiosis between face-to-face teaching and distance learning, this study seeks to gain insight into the perceptions of Mathematics and Biomedical Sciences students at a Portuguese public university regarding the b-learning methodol...

A avaliação da aprendizagem suscita questões relevantes à prática docente. No ensino remoto, adotado em razão da pandemia de Covid-19, o tema adquiriu novos contornos, com destaque para a avaliação mediada por tecnologias. Este estudo apresenta, em um contexto de trabalho colaborativo entre docentes, as potencialidades da ferramenta STACK na avaliação da aprendizagem matemática dos alunos, nas disciplinas de In...
This study was conducted while 9th grade students learn to solve inequalities and seeks to understand their approach to solving problems with a real-life context. Specifically, the aim is to understand: (1) What are the main characteristics of the students’ approaches to the proposed problems? (2) What is the impact of the real context on the students’ resolutions? A qualitative and interpretative methodology i...
A multidisciplinary team collaborated on the development of a learning experience involving 10th grade students using a Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) approach. The experience was based on the development (conception, implementation, and evaluation) of a science cartoon that aimed to highlight different scientific and technological dimensions related to the diversity of marine w...
This study focuses on the conceptions and practices of Iberian (Portuguese and Spanish) mathematics teachers regarding instructional humour. Specifically, the study aims to answer the following questions: (1) How do Iberian mathematics teachers view humour and how do they appreciate a sense of humour? (2) What educational value do Iberian mathematics teachers ascribe to humour in the teaching and learning proce...
Over time, teaching materials, such as manipulatives, have acquired a key role in promoting students’ understanding of mathematical knowledge. These materials play an important resource in student learning, including a recreational role that promotes motivation and a dynamic role in the understanding of concepts in which students are involved in the learning activities. Based on these assumptions, this study ai...
Communication plays a key role in teaching and learning processes. Questions are a communicational act greatly used by teachers to structure their discourse, establish dynamics, and foster interaction between the different participants in the classroom. In view of these potentialities of questions in the classroom context, we have developed a teaching experiment with the aim of understand the role of the teache...
