Pró-letramento em matemática : repercussão do processo de formação continuada na prática pedagógica do professor

Abstract

The teacher continuing education in service despite being one fundamental pillars of teaching, still presents itself as a challenging field, full of differences and in many cases have ceased to offer the contribution due to pedagogical practice. In the case of a specific area of knowledge, in this case mathematics, contributions have been largely ineffective in the face of numerous studies and systems assessments show that students still have unsatisfactory results regarding the use of mathematical concepts. Thus, this study was aimed to analyze the consequences of a Continuing Education program, known as Pro-literacy in mathematics in pedagogical practice of teachers in the early years of elementary school in the city of Garanhuns, also in view of the other actions that are offered by the City and schools, seeking to learn the views of teachers in relation to these actions and the Pro-literacy as well as the contributions that course through the opinions of teachers and other research subjects. To conduct this study, we chose to semi-structured interviews with: Program Coordinator and Director of Education, with the Tutor and Supervisor of the educational program, course participants pedagogical coordinators and teachers. Were also observed and recorded in video lessons of mathematics teacher students. The observation data were analyzed according to the studies of Lee Shulman, the categorization of knowledge by teachers taking into account the specificities of the disciplines they will teach. The results show that the Secretary of Education schedules specific for Continuing Education of the early years teachers are promoted in partnership with the Ministry of Education and Culture. The actions carried out within the schools are almost nonexistent. Regarding the proliteracy show that this differential has many aspects, mainly because it is a continuous action, when the others are sporadic and occasional. Furthermore, we found that the course is well accepted by all our interviewees, including teachers who highlighted many contributions, notably: changing the approach in relation to mathematics, deepening the specific contents and didactic teaching, reflection and analysis of learning situations, in others.. As regards the impact on teaching practice, we found that the course brought some positive effects on certain aspects of expertise, teaching and curriculum for teachers to teach some mathematical content. However, other aspects of such knowledge the effects were less pronounced.
