Problemlösning är en central kompetens för framgång i ämnet matematik och lärare har en nyckelroll i att främja denna förmåga hos elever. Men de möter också utmaningar i att stödja alla elever, vilket den här kvalitativa studien syftar till att undersöka hur de hanterar. Genom intervjuer med sju lärare har dessa tre forskningsfrågor undersökts; Hur kommunicerar lärare i mellanstadiet mål för elevers lärande och utveckling inom problemlösning? Hur arbetar lärare i mellanstadiet för att identifiera elevers kunskaper och utmaningar med problemlösning i samband med undervisningen och arbetet kring den, och vilka är utmaningarna? Samt hur hanterar lärare i mellanstadiet utmaningarna med problemlösning i samband med undervisningen och arbetet kring den? För att uppfylla studiens syfte och besvara forskningsfrågorna har en variant av tematisk analys använts i kombination med ett ramverk baserat på tre nyckelaspekter av formativ bedömning. Resultatet visade att det, utifrån studiens ramverk, finns förbättringspotential kring hur lärare kommunicerar mål men att de har en bred variation av metoder och tillvägagångssätt vid både identifiering och hantering av utmaningar. / Problem-solving is a central skill for success in mathematics, and teachers play a key role in fostering this ability in students. However, they also face challenges in supporting all students, which this qualitative study aims to investigate how they address. Through interviews with seven teachers, these three research questions have been explored: How do middle school teachers communicate goals for students' learning and development in problem-solving? How do middle school teachers identify students' skills and challenges in problem-solving in connection with teaching related work, and what are the challenges? And how do middle school teachers handle challenges in problem-solving in connection with teaching and related work? To fulfill the study's purpose and answer the research questions, a version of thematic analysis has been used in combination with a framework based on three key aspects of formative assessment.  The results showed that, based on the study's framework, there is room for improvement in how teachers communicate goals, but they have a wide variety of methods and approaches in both identifying and addressing challenges.

Published Article / Teachers in Lesotho are confronted by a myriad of challenges, such as ensuring the meaningful inclusion of learners with impairments as well as adequately meeting their educational needs. This paper therefore, explores this challenge and how it impacts on teachers' abilities to deal it, and further recommend some teaching strategies to overcome it. An Attitudes Toward Inclusive Educational Scale (ATIES) questionnaire was adapted in this paper for the collection of data from 211 randomly-selected teachers from the Maseru and Berea districts of Lesotho. Findings as reported by teachers indicate, amongst many factors contributing to the challenges brought about by inclusive education, inadequate teacher training, inadequate resources, and a lack of support from authorities and parents. The revamp of classroom infrastructure and the review of teacher training approaches in Lesotho are vital policy imperatives to eradicate these educational challenges.

The debate on how students of different abilities should be organised and taught is probably as old as the introduction of formal schooling. It has generated a lot of debate in the past and continues to do so in the present millennium. This debate has invariably divided the world of educational research into two distinct camps. On one hand are proponents of ability grouping who claim that this grouping approach creates homogeneity which make it possible to tailor teaching to individual needs and thus raise achievement. On the other hand, are the exponents of mixed-ability grouping, who argue that ability grouping denies equality of educational opportunities to many young people, limiting their life chances and increasing social segregation. However, there is an emerging trend which posits that teachers should view students' mixed-abilities as an asset, which if properly exploited can result in effective instruction for the benefit of all students regardless of their many individual differences. This emanates from the realisation that there are different types of intelligences, and that it is not always possible for an individual student to posses all the types of intelligences. Therefore, students from diverse backgrounds, endowed with multiple intelligences, can help one another understand the content better as they will perceive the content from their diverse experiential backgrounds. This qualitative study concerned itself with investigating how mixed-ability grouping can be optimised for effective instruction at the junior secondary school level in Botswana. The study made use of literature study, focus groups, follow-up interviews and lesson observations. Major findings were that teachers are not optimising mixed-ability grouping for effective instruction. Instead, teachers have problems in teaching mixed-ability classes, with most of their teaching being teacher-centred. However, teachers can optimise mixed-ability grouping through the use of student-centred instructional strategies such as cooperative learning, small-group instruction, peer teaching and student research. Gifted students could be catered for through curriculum compaction, enrichment and extension work, while mentally challenged students could be offered remedial work. These cited teaching strategies are differential and they make use of the diverse abilities found in mixed-ability classes. / Educational Studies / D.Ed. (Didactics)

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to determine if questioning can be used as an effective teaching and learning skill to develop learners' higher level thinking in the natural sciences learning area. The types of questions asked by the teachers as well as the different questioning techniques that can be used to provoke the learners' higher level thinking during a learning experience was discussed. The way in which learner questions can be used to encourage student engagement and learning was determine. Questioning as it is used in secondary school was investigated to determine the ways in which it is applied during teaching and learning. The present situation regarding the development and stimulation of learners' questions was determine. The degree to which training and experience determine the teachers application of questioning as an effective teaching and learning skill is investigated by means of a survey. Guidelines to enhance questioning as a skill to develop the learners' higher level thinking was formulated. Method: A literature study was done to investigate the ways in which questioning can be used to enhance the teaching and learning of higher level thinking. Learning strategies, teaching and learning methods and skills to enhance effective higher level thinking was discussed in terms of teaching and learning in the natural sciences. The success rate of teaching and learning can be measure in terms of good questioning and the level of thinking. 'The teaching and learning experience in natural sciences is influenced by the nature of science. The objectives of teaching and learning in the natural sciences is discussed. The empirical data about the grade 8 and grade 11 natural sciences classroom situations was obtained by means of video recordings. These recordings was analysed and coded with a situation analysis instrument developed against the background of the literature study. Empirical research was also undertaken in terms of a survey procedure to obtain the biographical data about the teachers. The empirical data are analysed and discussed in terms of the present situation in use in the natural sciences classrooms. Based on this discussions, guidelines were developed in terms of the proposal of the findings with which to ensure the application of questioning as a teaching and learning skill to enhance the development of learners' higher level thinking in the natural sciences learning area. Core findings: The core findings are, that not enough effort is put to the didactic task of enhancing questioning as an effective teaching and learning skill of learners in the natural sciences. The teachers are confronted with the challenge to make use of spiral questioning to provoke the learners thinking in the classroom situation. Questioning can be used to serve and support the teaching and learning experience. From the empirical data it can be deducted that the teachers in this research group are not trying to enhance, stimulate of provoke learners' questioning. Questioning as practice by the teachers are mostly classified as communication and lower level questions. Furthermore no deduction can be made about the degree to which training and experience determine the teachers application of questioning as an effective teaching and learning skill to enhance the higher level of thinking in the natural sciences learning area. Based on these core findings recommendations are made about the development of higher level thinking to promote deeper understanding of the natural sciences with the aid of questioning as an instructional skill during learning. / Thesis (Ph.D. (Education))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2007.

The problem was to develop a concept of teaching English for the adult (24 years old or older) undergraduate. The purposes were to make a statement on teaching the adult, survey adults for their perceptions of their needs and the ways the courses met them, review findings of schools offering special adult degree programs, and develop a typology of the adult undergraduate in English with teaching implications. Chapter I states the problem, purposes, significance, and limitations of the study. Chapter II develops the historical background. Chapter III covers the survey and its implications. Chapter IV presents teachers' views of teaching English for adults. Chapter V summarizes the study and sets forth a conceptual structure for teaching the adult undergraduate in such courses.

A partir da quantificação e interpretação dos tipos de exercícios e estratégias existentes nas lições Start auf Deutsch e Café D, ambas do livro Studio D A1 (2008) e Europa: Politik und mehr, do livro Studio D B1 (2008), este trabalho teve como objetivo investigar se estas lições estão sedimentadas com base nos princípios pós-comunicativos, conforme descritos em Funk (2010). Após a quantificação dos tipos de exercícios destas lições, foram investigadas as estratégias didáticas presentes nas lições para verificar se as estratégias do material estão apoiadas nas estratégias da abordagem intercultural, conforme apresentadas em Roche (2001) e na pedagogia pós-método (KUMARAVADIVELU: 1994 e 2001), que fazem parte deste novo cenário póscomunicativo. Ambas tem princípios que podem ser relacionados à teoria sociocultural e interacionista. A pesquisa sobre a perspectiva pós-comunicativa possibilitou mudanças de parâmetros no ensino/aprendizagem de língua estrangeira na década de 90. Destes estudos surgiu o Quadro Comum Europeu de Referência para as Línguas Estrangeiras (QCERL) e no Brasil os Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais- Línguas Estrangeiras (PCN-LE), ambos os parâmetros de ensino, europeu e brasileiro, propõem que a realidade do aluno e as trocas culturais sejam um meio de facilitação à autonomia de aprendizagem. O material didático escolhido para análise faz parte da realidade do QCERL, por isso, preocupou-se em analisar se estão presentes nestas lições os tipos de exercícios propostos por Rampillon (2000) e Häussermann & Piepho (1996). Também foram comparadas as estratégias didáticas do livro do professor com as estratégias de ensino aprendizagem discutidas em Bimmel & Rampillon (2001). Fez-se uma breve descrição do papel dos recursos midiáticos na era pós-comunicativa. Em síntese, com base nestes pressupostos, este trabalho investigou se nestas lições encontram-se subsídios para a aplicação dos tipos de exercícios, estratégias didático-pedagógicas póscomunicativas. / With the quantification and the interpretation of the exercises typologie and strategies of the lessons Start auf Deutsch and Café D, both of the book Studio D A1 and Europa: Politik und mehr, of the book Studio D B1, this work aims at investigation of this lessons in comparisons to the post-comunicative principles, as treated in Funk (2010). After this quantification, the teaching/learning strategies of this teaching material was investigated if these strategies follow the strategies of the intercultural aproach, as discussed in Roche (2001) and the strategies of the post-method pedagogy (KUMARAVADIVELU:1994, 2001), these are part of the post-comunicative era and have principles that are related to the sociocultural and interacionist theory. The research on the postcomunicative outlook culminated in the changing of the foreing languange teaching/learning parameters in the 90s, with this, arise the Common European Framework for Foreing Languages (CEFR) and in Brazil the Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais para as Línguas Estrangeiras (PCN-LE), both educational parameters, european and brazilian, propose that the reality of learners and cultural exchange are means of the autonomous learning facilitation. The chosen teaching book are part of this CEFR scenario, therefore, it itended to investigate if in these lesson are applied the exercise tipologies as proposed by Rampillon (2001) and Häusserman & Piepho (1996). Also was comparated the strategies of the teaching book with the learning/teaching strategies as proposed by Bimmel & Rampillon (2001). In this work was also discussed the role of the media ressources in the post-comunicative era. On the basis of all these assumption, this work investigated if in these lessons are included subsidies to the application of the exercise tipologie, strategies and principles of the post-comunicative era.

The research objective was to analyze the professional intervention possibilities by means of the subject sports in Physical Education classes, shedding lights to its educational value and its possible understanding while multicultural phenomena. The methodological option is characterized as a qualitative approach (THOMAS; NELSON; SILVERMAN, 2007. The design was supported by a unique case study (GIL, 2009; YIN, 2005). The central question of the research which we seek answer was: How the teacher‟s intervention process happens, by means of the subject sports in the Physical Education classes taking into consideration its educational value, its understanding while multicultural phenomena and its manifestations in the society? The theoretical basis was enriched by studies related to the considerations about: the sports manifestations, the spectacular sport in school by means of communication, theoretical presuppositions and subsidies about the sport in the Physical Education classes, the teaching of physical Education from pedagogical approaches, and the debate about the theoretical presuppositions departing from sports pedagogy. The research involved the context of pedagogical practice of nine (9) of Physical Education teachers, two (02) State Public Schools from Guarapuava – PR (A, B), its practice was developed in classes of 8º e 9º grades from fundamental level, in which one hundred (117) students were involved in the total amount of schools from the two school institutions that participated in the research. The instruments used in the research to collect data were the non participants and systematic observation of the classes and the application of a questionnaire to the teachers and students. The Subject Analyzes was the option taken to analyze and interpret the data (BARDIN, 1977). The discussion and analyzes developed by means of observations, shed lights to the conceptual dimension, related to procedures and attitudes the contents which appeared in an isolated way in some classes, in this sense, being the sport appropriated by students in a fragmented way and without links with a valued conception that could add values and recognize the relevance of many manifestations of sport. On the other hand, it was possible to notice the concern of teacher in the attempt to offer and give chance to the students the systematic knowledge about the sport from a didactic perspective which prizes diverse methodological phases to the debate, experimentation, living, transformation and reflection of the issues efectivated on pedagogical work. Related to answers of the teachers and students questionnaires, it was concluded that it is necessary a large debates and discussions from the conception the such conception, because although of this research has focused to analyses of how the teachers intervention happens by means of the subject sport in Physical Education classes, many aspects related to the day by day in the classes, to the students knowing about sport and about the teachers pedagogical work it is necessary to develop deeper insights from a reflexive perspective. / Esta pesquisa apresenta uma análise do processo de intervenção docente em relação ao conteúdo esporte nas aulas de Educação Física considerando seu valor educativo, seu entendimento enquanto fenômeno multicultural e suas manifestações na sociedade. O objetivo da pesquisa foi analisar as possibilidades de intervenção profissional por intermédio do conteúdo esporte nas aulas de Educação Física, considerando seu valor educativo e seu possível entendimento enquanto fenômeno multicultural. A opção metodológica se caracteriza como uma abordagem qualitativa (THOMAS; NELSON; SILVERMAN, 2007). O delineamento foi subsidiado por um estudo de caso único (GIL, 2009; YIN, 2005). A questão central da pesquisa que buscamos responder foi: Como se dá o processo de intervenção docente por meio do conteúdo esporte nas aulas de Educação Física considerando seu valor educativo, seu entendimento enquanto fenômeno multicultural e suas manifestações na sociedade? A fundamentação teórica foi consubstanciada por estudos referentes às considerações sobre: as manifestações do esporte; o esporte espetáculo na escola via meios de comunicação; os pressupostos e subsídios teóricos sobre o esporte nas aulas de Educação Física; o ensino da Educação Física a partir das abordagens pedagógicas e o debate acerca dos pressupostos teóricos a partir da pedagogia do esporte. A pesquisa envolveu a análise do contexto da prática pedagógica de nove (9) professores de Educação Física, de duas (02) Escolas Públicas Estaduais do município de Guarapuava – PR (A, B), sendo tal prática efetivada em turmas dos 8º e 9º anos do ensino fundamental, das quais participaram cento e dezessete (117) alunos, totalizando assim o número de escolares das duas instituições de ensino participantes da pesquisa. Os instrumentos utilizados na pesquisa para a coleta de dados foram a observação não participante e sistemática das aulas e a aplicação do questionário para os professores e alunos. Para a análise e interpretação dos dados optamos pela Análise de Conteúdo (BARDIN, 1977). As discussões e análises desenvolvidas por meio das observações desvelaram que as dimensões conceituais, procedimentais e atitudinais dos conteúdos se apresentam de forma isolada em algumas aulas, sendo o esporte apropriado pelos alunos de maneira fragmentada e desvinculada de uma proposta que valoriza e reconhece a relevância das diversas manifestações do esporte. Por outro lado, foi possível perceber a preocupação do professor em oferecer e proporcionar aos alunos o conhecimento sistematizado sobre o esporte a partir de uma didática que contempla diversas fases metodológicas para o debate, a experimentação, vivência, transformação e reflexão dos assuntos efetivados no trabalho pedagógico. Referente às respostas dos questionários dos professores e alunos, concluímos que se faz necessário maiores debates e discussões a luz dessa temática, pois embora esta pesquisa tenha buscado analisar como se dá o processo de intervenção docente por meio do conteúdo esporte nas aulas de Educação Física, vários aspectos relacionados ao cotidiano das aulas, aos saberes dos alunos sobre o esporte e o trabalho pedagógico do professor necessitam ser aprofundados a partir de uma perspectiva reflexiva.

Then, we selected a literacy teacher with recognized expertise in a school with social significance as an educational institution of quality. These criteria aimed to determine which practices are used by a qualified teacher in this kind of school, in the view that the literacy practices for students with intellectual disabilities carried out by less qualified teachers, in less organized schools, shall be less appropriated. The gathering of empirical data was performed using video recordings and the analysis was based on two axes: the adaptation of the activities for students with intellectual disabilities and the relationship between content/form and student performance. The collection of data in empirical field room of third series, It was performed during an academic semester, by means of video links were twenty days with duration of thirty minutes, direct observations recorded in a field diary and the written production of the student with intellectual disabilities cope classes in Portuguese Language, the analyzes were made on the basis of two axs: the adaptation of activities for students with intellectual disabilities; and the relationship between content/form worked and income of the student. The analyzes were subsidized by Vygotsky, with the concept of mediation, Ferreiro on code and the representation of language and Bardin with analysis of the content. The main results found were the failure in identifying the curriculum adaptation and the failure to use innovative teaching practices, which states that the teaching strategies used by teachers in the literacy process of students with intellectual disability are not different from those used with ordinary students. It became clear that the literacy practices used by teachers reflect a concept of the written language as a communication code that results in the learning process of writing as a mechanical way. Therefore, the concept of literacy does not include the improvement of the language use in order to characterize it as literacy process / Esta investigação, levada a efeito em 2011, teve como objetivo identificar e analisar as estratégias de alfabetização desenvolvidas por professor do Ensino Fundamental, no ensino regular, que atende a aluno com diagnóstico de deficiência intelectual, com base nas contribuições de Soares (1998, 2001), no que se refere às concepções subjacentes às práticas alfabetizadoras, na medida em que tanto as orientações oficiais quanto a literatura especializada definem que, para que esse alunado possa usufruir dos processos regulares de ensino, é necessário que se efetivem adaptações curriculares adequadas às suas características pessoais. Para tanto, foi selecionada uma professora alfabetizadora com reconhecida competência, dentro de uma escola também com reconhecimento social, como instituição educativa de qualidade. Esses critérios visaram verificar quais as práticas utilizadas por professor qualificado em escola de qualidade, na perspectiva de que as práticas de alfabetização com alunos com deficiência intelectual desenvolvida por professores menos qualificados, em escolas menos organizadas, deverão ser menos adequadas. A coleta de dados no campo empírico sala de terceira série, foi realizada durante um semestre letivo, por meio de videogravações sendo que foram vinte dias com duração de trinta minutos, observações diretas registradas em diário de campo e as produções escritas do aluno com deficiência intelectual durantes aulas de Língua Portuguesa, cujas análises foram efetuadas com base em dois eixos: a adaptação das atividades para o aluno com deficiência intelectual; e a relação entre conteúdo/forma trabalhados e rendimento do estudante. As análises foram subsidiadas por Vygotsky, com o conceito de mediação, Ferreiro sobre código e a representação da língua e Bardin com análise do conteúdo. Os principais resultados encontrados foram: a não identificação da adaptação curricular, não utilização de práticas pedagógicas inovadoras, caracterizando que as estratégias de ensino utilizadas por professores na alfabetização do deficiente intelectual não são distintas daquelas utilizadas com as crianças normais. Evidenciou-se que as práticas de alfabetização utilizadas pelos professores refletem uma concepção da língua escrita como um código de comunicação e que resultam na aprendizagem da escrita de forma mecânica. Logo, a concepção de alfabetização não contempla o aprimoramento do uso da língua de forma a caracterizá-la como processo de letramento

According to the educational focus and how to learn each student, are presented different obstacles in relation to teaching-learning. In this dimension, the goal of this study was to identify and to propose strategies to minimize the difficulties of teachers of the discipline Accounting Audit for greater efficiency in the teaching-learning process, especially in the professional experience. Therefore, it was necessary to present an educational theoretical reference, which are reviewed and discussed the variables in the teaching-learning process, and an evaluation of the strategies for teaching commonly used in higher education. The documentary evaluation of the Accounting Audit discipline in the history of the Accounting course, and the adherence to its programmatic content to the national and global professional requirements, allowed an adequate characterization of the curriculum structure. The achievement of the research with teachers of this discipline in Minas Gerais, corroborates with the studied theories, also supported by the results of other studies. It is observed that the lack of pedagogical training in teachers and technological and structural limitation of the universities creates a gap between the teaching academic and the professional technical formation. The change of attitude of the teacher, as regards the limitations and difficulties in the teaching-learning process, can and must be supported by the use of alternative strategies for teaching, so that, it allows to present for the student, the appropriate professional life experience in the activity of the accounting Audit / A temática central deste estudo é a busca por métodos e técnicas que subsidiem o ensino e a aprendizagem em nível superior, mais especificamente na disciplina Auditoria Contábil. De acordo com o enfoque educacional e a forma de aprender de cada aluno, são apresentados obstáculos diferentes em relação ao ensinaraprender. Nessa dimensão, o objetivo deste estudo foi identificar e propor estratégias que minimizem as dificuldades dos professores da disciplina Auditoria Contábil para maior eficácia no processo ensino-aprendizagem, principalmente no que tange ao vivenciamento profissional. Para isso, foi necessária a apresentação de um referencial teórico educacional, no qual são analisadas e discutidas as variáveis presentes no ensinar e no aprender, além de uma avaliação das estratégias de ensino, comumente utilizadas no ensino superior. A avaliação documental da evolução da disciplina Auditoria Contábil na história do curso de Ciências Contábeis, bem como a aderência de seus conteúdos programáticos às exigências profissionais nacionais e mundiais possibilitou uma adequada caracterização da estrutura curricular dessa disciplina. A realização da pesquisa de campo, junto aos docentes dessa disciplina em Minas Gerais, corrobora o embasamento teórico levantado, sustentado também pelos resultados de outras pesquisas. O que se observa é que a ausência de formação pedagógica dos professores e a limitação tecnológica e estrutural das universidades criam uma defasagem entre o ensino acadêmico e a formação técnico-profissional. A mudança de postura do professor, no que se refere às limitações e às dificuldades existentes no processo ensino-aprendizagem, pode e deve ser apoiada pela utilização de estratégias de ensino alternativas, de tal forma a apresentar, ao aluno, o vivenciamento profissional adequado à atividade da Auditoria Contábil

To contribute to this problem, identify the main difficulties encountered in the teaching and school mathematics learning in the professional technical course and research some methods in which these processes can significantly occur. We work with two groups of technical progress in agriculture, a control and the other experimental, that this work will treat as a field class to accomplish comparisons. We applied to two classes a pre-test to identify some difficulties in relation to the geometry of content and arithmetic, a questionnaire diagnosis and post-test. We also point may need to know what knowledge the students had about multiplication and division. The diagnostic questionnaire allowed us to check, missing school students, a considerable amount worked and some considered the school mathematics teaching offered in decontextualized and fragmented way. We performed for the two lecture classes with the help of video lesson. Then and only for the country group proposed a field of activity in which they measured the dimensions of the ponds and flowerbeds of the institute, they found the area available for planting as well as the outline of the region and measured the spacing between the vegetables planted in the flower bed . This activity aroused enough student interest and questions. After this activity, we applied one after posttest results of a questionnaire. We verified that followed the lectures of field classes improve the students' knowledge. We emphasize that we can make a difference to improve school mathematics teaching, with dynamic lectures and contextualized when accompanied by practical classes held outside the classroom context. We alert for the importance to the technical experience school mathematics in professional activities making it significant. / Nesta pesquisa desenvolvida no PPGEA/UFRRJ, como disserta??o de mestrado, fizemos uma reflex?o sobre o ensino e a aprendizagem da matem?tica escolar enfatizando algumas experi?ncias docentes que valorizam a abstra??o, a memoriza??o, com conte?dos fora da realidade dos alunos, e neste contexto inserimos o ensino profissional do campo, no Brasil Nesta perspectiva, concebemos como problema de pesquisa: quais estrat?gias podem ser usadas para que o ensino e a aprendizagem da matem?tica escolar contribuam para a melhoria do conhecimento do profissional do campo? Para contribuir com este problema, identificamos as principais dificuldades encontradas nos processos de ensino e de aprendizagem de matem?tica escolar no curso t?cnico profissional e pesquisamos algumas metodologias em que estes processos possam ocorrer de forma significativa. Trabalhamos com duas turmas do curso t?cnico em agropecu?ria, uma de controle e outra experimental, que neste trabalho trataremos como turma de campo, para realizarmos compara??es. Aplicamos ?s duas turmas um pr?-teste, para identificar algumas dificuldades em rela??o aos conte?dos de geometria e aritm?tica, um question?rio diagn?stico e um p?s-teste. Destacamos, ainda, ser necess?rio saber quais conhecimentos os alunos tinham sobre multiplica??o e divis?o. O question?rio diagn?stico nos permitiu verificar, alunos ausentes da escola, uma quantidade consider?vel trabalhava e alguns consideravam o ensino da matem?tica escolar ofertado de forma descontextualizado e fragmentado. Realizamos para as duas turmas aula te?rica com aux?lio de videoaula. Em seguida e somente para a turma de campo propusemos uma atividade de campo, na qual eles mediram as dimens?es dos viveiros e canteiros do instituto, acharam a ?rea dispon?vel para plantio assim como o contorno da regi?o e mediram o espa?amento entre as hortali?as plantadas no canteiro. Esta atividade despertou bastante o interesse dos alunos e questionamentos. Ap?s esta atividade, aplicamos um p?s-teste seguido de um question?rio de resultados. Verificamos que aulas te?ricas seguidas de aulas de campo melhoram o conhecimento dos alunos. Ressaltamos que, podemos fazer diferen?a para melhorar o ensino de matem?tica escolar, com aulas te?ricas din?micas e contextualizadas quando acompanhada da aula pr?tica, realizada fora do contexto da sala de aula. Alertamos para a import?ncia de um t?cnico vivenciar a matem?tica escolar em atividades profissionais tornando-a significativa.
