Investigando e ensinando matemática no ensino fundamental: contribuições do diário de bordo na formação de professores

Abstract

This monograph reports an investigation into the practices of teaching mathematics in the final series of elementary school, from the use of the Diary. Participant Study Group and Research - GEPECIEM of UFFS took the proposal to draft the survey instrument recording in Diary practical activities using manipulatives, the reaction of the students regarding the proposed activities and learning performance. In this analysis I noticed that the students enthusiastically participate in the different activities and have better performance in learning. The activities were implemented in mathematics classes in the School Hall Elementary School D. Pedro II of Vila Santo Antonio - Cerro Largo - RS, between the years 2011 and 2012. The Diary is a practice that favors the organization of teacher minimizes routine and provides autonomy. Teachers who use this practice records in the discipline of mathematics, become more committed to the construction of knowledge. Assuming the habit of writing, achieve better results and get an integrated view of the reality of the classroom. This methodological tool points to new ways, lessons more meaningful and dynamic changes in thinking and acting teacher. In this sense, the research process regarding learning difficulties, using the Diary, to record, rethink and reflect on practice with new job opportunities in the discipline of mathematics. Was conducted within the qualitative research approach is the same documentary and descriptive. Therefore, we have to recognize that transform and improve our teaching practice is ethical commitment of professional, a job that involves reflection, application, analysis and research.
