Resolução de problemas e formação docente: saberes e vivências no Curso de Pedagogia

Abstract

This research had as main objective the analysis possibilities and limits of resolution of problems, from a sequence of activities of teaching that take into account the reality of students' formative and functional demands of a course of initial teacher early years of elementary school. The survey reflects recommendations of research in mathematics education as Curi (2004) and sought to examine possible contributions of Solving Problems for teacher training on the multi-purpose content knowledge and pedagogical knowledge, with the primary reference Shulman (1986). It was also taken into account, the identification of possible beliefs and attitudes of the subjects in math and second Callejo Vila (2007). Problem solving in our research is understood as teaching methodology towards Onuchic (1999) and Van de Walle (2009). Used for qualitative data collection and analysis the concept of educational research as Lankshear and Knobel (2008). Were planned and executed interventions in two distinct classes of the pedagogy course, the fundamental disciplines of mathematics, the first on a pilot basis and the second as the final proposal. During the final intervention compose the collection of data from 04 (four) where the 09 episodes (nine) subjects of the research work with Troubleshooting. Data analysis shows significant contributions to problem solving knowledge of the contents, where the subjects are taken to change the meaning of concepts and deepen knowledge as suggested by Shulman (1986). Concerning the pedagogical knowledge that when we see the Troubleshooting is proposed with the use of teaching resources specific discussions of this kind of knowledge are enhanced. In relation to beliefs and attitudes observed in the behavior of subjects positive changes in relation to mathematical knowledge and problem-solving activity, pointing to future studies exploring these changes and metacognitive contributions to future teachers provided by the training process. As a product of research is presented a CD-ROM containing all the proposed activities and issues.
