FORMAÇÃO INICIAL EM MATEMÁTICA: AS MANIFESTAÇÕES DOS EGRESSOS DE PEDAGOGIA SOBRE A FORMAÇÃO PARA A DOCÊNCIA NOS ANOS INICIAIS DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL

Abstract

This work presents an investigation of relation between the initial Mathematics formation of a graduation course in Pedagogy and the teaching of the teachers egresses that act in the beginning years of the Fundamental teaching in a city in the countryside of Paraná State. The research objectives were: a) check what reveals the PPC of the graduation course of Pedagogy regarding the formative aspects of mathematics, b) investigate the mathematical training conception of the teacher educators, c) analyze the manifestations of the graduates on mathematical training of the Pedagogy course for mathematics teaching. It was used as theoretical the contributions from Shulman (1986, 1987), Tardif (2002), Mizukami (2004), and Saviani (2007) for initial training and teacher knowledge, as authors that support the teachers training who teach mathematics, it was resorted to the contributions of Nacarato and Fiorentini (2005), Serrazina (2002), Imbernón (2002). It also deepens studies regarding the various methods to teach mathematics (BURAK; KLÜBER,2010, D'AMBRÓSIO, 2001). The literature review points out the research of Curi (2004), Baumann and Bicudo (2009, 2010), Zimer (2008), Mello (2000) and Gatti (2009a) on the initial training in mathematics in the Pedagogy course. As a methodological perspective it was adopted the theoretical approaches of qualitative research (BOGDAN; BIKLEN, 1994) and the design case study (YIN, 2001). The subjects of the investigation were: coordination and two teachers in charge of the Pedagogy graduation course and ten graduates of the Pedagogy graduation who work in the early years of elementary school. The collected documents for analysis were: Pedagogical Project of the Course (PPC), the menu of the Theory and Methodology of Teaching Mathematics, questionnaire and interviews. The Content Analysis of Bardin (2009) was used for data systematization, data discussion and data triangulation. The main results found showed: a) the proposal of the Pedagogy graduation course meets the DCNLP, but its wide field of skills ends by summarizing the training in mathematics, b) the concern of teachers to ensure to future teachers the ability to interpret and analyze the approach to the teaching spaces, c) skills training for the teaching of mathematics, offered in the context of the investigated Pedagogy graduation course discreetly contributed to teacher performance in the early years of the EF. The considerations listed from this research reveal that the overcoming of the mismatch showed in the mathematical training of the teacher in the Pedagogy graduation course and math training practice the initial years teaching has become urgent and constitutes a concern in the field of mathematics education.
