Um estudo sobre as concepções de licenciados em relação ao ensino da Matemática

Abstract

This research aims to identify the conceptions of degree students in mathematics over the teaching of mathematics as well as their implications for teaching prac tice. To achieve this goal we try to answer the following questions: What conceptions undergraduates have about mathematics and its teaching? How these conceptions relate to the current prospects of Mathematics Teaching? How they can affect the practice of the classroom these undergraduates as future teachers of mathematics? The research is qualitative with the technique for the analysis of data the collective subject discourse – CSD (LEFÉVRE & LEFÉVRE),) which is a proposal for the organization qualitative data. The instrument for data collection was a questionnaire, applied to 13 undergraduates of the sixth period of a public university in the state of Paraíba. The analysis allowed us to verify that they have a fallibility view of mathematics and an educational vision linked to constructivist teaching. It allowed us to find that they have the desire to change the reality of mathematics teaching, making it pleasant and fit to any student.
