The purpose of this study was to investigate and document parental involvement in a San community in Namibia over a period of two months. The emphasis was to investigate whether San parents in the Omusati region were involved in the learning of mathematics of their children. The learner participants were selected according to those who were open to sharing their ideas. An interpretive approach was used to collect and analyse data. The collected data was gathered from 9 participants (4 learners in grade 5 together with their parents, plus their mathematics teacher). Semi-structured interviews, parental contributions and home visit observations were the three tools that I used to collect data. The selected school is located in a rural area in the Omusati region of northern Namibia. The interviews were conducted in Oshiwambo (the participants‟ mother tongue) and translated into English and then analyzed. I discovered that the selected San parents were involved in some but limited school activities. The findings of this study emphasizes that illiteracy may be one of the contributing factors of low or non-involvement of parents among the San community. Other factors which I found caused parents not to assist their children with homework was parents spending much of their time at the local cuca shops during the day until late in the evenings. The study also highlights possible strategies that can be carried out by teachers to encourage parental involvement in school activities.

Seeing that, it was built the following question: which characteristics can be identified in the teacher’s speech about their practice in using the error as a resource for learning? It was expected with this question to identify convergences and/or divergences among theoretical instances and teacher’s reports about their practices. The theoretical support was found specially on the ideas of Cury and Brousseau in order to analyze the assumptions teachers have on students errors. In order to focus on teacher’s views we added to the consideration teacher’s backgrounds and the error and obstacles concept, aiming to narrow the ideas adopted although the research. A qualitative approach or research was chosen in which six people took part, all elementary teachers of 4th and 5th grades from private and public schools in the city of São Paulo. The data were collected through semi-structured questionnaires. As a result of this process of reflection, we can infer that teachers use student’s errors in their Math classes in different possibilities inherent to the teaching process. As strategies, the teachers affirmed to use, in most cases, collective corrections in which the students participate by showing their reasoning in carrying out the activities, sometimes going to the blackboard to register them, or participating orally. Teachers have stated that they rarely use individualized correction because there is not enough time to realize this dynamic. All of them ask students to erase the resolution when they miss an activity, and to redo copying from the blackboard. It is expected from this paper to contribute to the thinking of errors students make as part of what they understand of what is taught / O presente estudo teve a intenção de investigar de que forma os professores que ensinam Matemática dos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental I lidam com as situações em que os alunos apresentam erros nas atividades. Diante dessa inquietação, construiu-se o seguinte questionamento: Quais características podem ser identificadas no discurso de professores sobre sua prática na utilização do erro como ferramenta para a aprendizagem? Com essa pergunta esperou-se identificar convergências e/ou divergências entre instâncias teóricas e relatos de professores sobre sua prática. Buscou-se aportes teóricos que permitissem analisar as visões que os professores têm sobre os erros dos alunos, com base, principalmente, nas ideias de Cury e Brousseau. Para tratar a perspectiva dos profissionais, agregamos a essa reflexão, a formação de professores e os conceitos erro e obstáculo, visando delimitar a concepção adotada ao longo da investigação. Desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, em que participaram seis sujeitos, professoras de 4º ou 5º ano do Ensino Fundamental I, que lecionam em escolas da rede pública ou privada do município de São Paulo. A coleta de dados foi efetuada por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas. Como resultado, constata-se que as professoras aproveitam os erros dos alunos em suas aulas de Matemática, utilizando diferentes possibilidades inerentes ao processo de ensino. Como estratégias, elas afirmaram realizar, na maioria das vezes, correções coletivas, em que os alunos participam mostrando seu raciocínio ao realizar as atividades, às vezes indo até a lousa para registrá-los, ou então participando oralmente. As professoras declararam que raramente utilizam a correção individualizada, porque não há tempo suficiente para realizar essa dinâmica. Todas pedem que os alunos apaguem a resolução quando erram alguma atividade, e que refaçam copiando da lousa. Com esse trabalho, espera-se contribuir com uma reflexão sobre a análise dos erros que os alunos cometem nas aulas, como reflexo do que eles compreendem dos conteúdos
