Formação do professor de matemática: um olhar sobre a construção dos saberes da pesquisa.

Abstract

The present research investigated the issue about the construction of knowledge from research in the training of mathematics teachers, having as main objective to analyze the training of undergraduates in Mathematics the participation in the practice of research as a methodology of teaching and learning, in a perspective of analysis and reflection from pivot points, elements and moments that limit or intensify the training of undergraduates for learning and teaching through research. We base the discussion on the Pimenta's knowledge and Perrenoud‟s Skills. We assume that knowledge mobilization is the fundamental requirement, and precedent, the development of any skills. The research focused on the conception of teachers, students, and the observance of the guidelines expressed from Teaching Project of the Course. The methodology is part of a Case Study, of qualitative approach and descriptive and exploratory nature. Data were analyzed from content Bardin (2009). For data collecting were used questionnaires , interviews with teachers who work in components that provide research and workshops for student records about their perceptions, concepts, skills, knowledge and competencies in relation to research. We had no expectation that graduates demonstrate dominate all phases of a research cycle, but identifying what the Course has been able to promote, in terms of training for this practice, along its development, but caused concern the framework we envision in the path of our investigation. The results showed the significant difficulties, and lack of undergraduates in the relationship and articulation among education, math and research, whose performance is worrying, by insufficient competence, to teach and to learn with and by research.
