Pedagogo: vida, formação e a ensinagem da matemática no ensino fundamental I

Abstract

The present work is the result of a research of qualitative approach, whose objective is to investigate how the pedagogue acts in the process of teaching mathematics in Elementary School I, considering the implications of the own life history, as well as initial formation, realized in UESPI . They served as motivation for the development of this research, concerns about students arriving with so many difficulties in the discipline of mathematics in Elementary School II. The research scenario happened in two municipal schools in Riacho Frio-PI, and these offer Elementary School I. The research subjects were two pedagogical teachers who teach mathematics in these schools and are formed by the State University of Piauí-UESPI. The data collection of the research occurred in three stages: life history, documentary analysis and non- participant observation. Through the collection of data allowed to verify that the pedagogy course of UESPI presents gaps in the preparation of the future teacher in relation to the area of mathematics for Elementary School I. That is, does not provide necessary subsidies for the pedagogue to act in the discipline of mathematics, besides the incoming students of this course arrive with weak basis in mathematical relation. The course of Pedagogy does not teach the specific contents of the area, being more centralized in the methodological questions of how to teach the mathematics. And also realized that in practice teachers end up reproducing the teaching that had received in the area of mathematics as a student of basic education, so the course should be more impacting to the point of breaking these reproductions inherited in student life. Thus, there must be a new curricular configuration for the Degree in Pedagogy. Or, it would be interesting to start preparing mathematics teachers to act specifically in Elementary School I, only then the development of the area of mathematics would be more satisfactory.
