Para tanto, foi realizado um estudo com alunos da Licenciatura em Matemática da Unesp de Rio Claro, SP, os quais desenvolveram atividades didáticas de Geometria Analítica usando o software Geometricks. A combinação do trabalho com projetos e o uso de software de geometria dinâmica, tendo por contexto a Geometria Analítica, mostrou-se uma estratégia pedagógica favorável à formação inicial docente em Matemática no que concerne à construção de saberes específicos desta área do conhecimento e contribuiu para que os sujeitos envolvidos pudessem desenvolver saberes de uso pedagógico do software Geometricks. Sob este prisma, o foco do estudo repousa nas possibilidades que emergem da estratégia de trabalho descrita acima à formação do futuro professor de Matemática, tendo como pressuposto a necessidade de desenvolvermos nele competências necessárias para que incorpore as tecnologias informáticas à sua prática posterior, à medida que o seu processo de formação promova a utilização destes recursos no contexto das experiências educacionais na licenciatura. Esta formação, ainda, pode fornecer-lhe subsídios que venham colaborar na efetivação de mudanças nos processos educacionais vigentes. Outrossim, consideramos que este estudo aponta perspectivas para a implementação de mudanças no contexto educacional, em conseqüência das reflexões em torno do processo de formação profissional docente, o qual deve estar em consonância com as transformações da sociedade contemporânea...

A study was conducted with students in the Mathematics Teaching License Program at the State University of São Paulo, Rio Claro Campus, SP, Brazil, who developed analytic geometry teaching activities using the software Geometricks. The combination of work with projects and the use of the dynamic geometric software, in the context of the Analytic Geometry, proved to be a pedagogical strategy that was favorable to their initiation into teaching mathematics as concerns the construction of specific knowledge in this area, and contributed to the participants' ability to develop knowledge about the pedagogical use of the Geometricks software. Through this lens, the focus of the study lies in the possibilities that emerge from the approach to teaching future mathematics teachers described above, having as an assumption the need to develop the necessary competencies to incorporate information technology into their practice, to the extent that their educational process will promote the use of these resources in the context of their educational experience in their university program. This educational experience can even provide them with tools that can contribute to changing existing educational processes. Moreover, we consider that this study points to perspectives for the implementation of change in the educational context, as a consequence of the reflections regarding the educational process of mathematics teachers, which should be in consonance with the transformations in contemporary society...

Through the analysis of the content of the HQs, this research will provide practical suggestions on how the comics can both be used as a documentary source for the study of a given time and can be a support material to promote in the classroom reflections on the genesis of the anachronisms found in the representations of past cultures. It seeks to identify advances and also the main difficulties, obstacles or even limits that still prevent a more frequent or useful use of this resource in the teaching of History. / O projeto propõe estabelecer um suporte teórico e metodológico para a utilização das HQs no ensino da História pelos professores de História que trabalham no ciclo 2 do ensino fundamental e no ensino médio. Através da análise do conteúdo das HQs, esta pesquisa fornecerá sugestões práticas de como as HQs tanto podem ser usadas como fonte documental para o estudo de determinada época quanto podem ser material de apoio para promover em sala de aula reflexões sobre a gênese dos anacronismos encontrados nas representações de culturas do passado. Pretende identificar avanços e também as principais dificuldades, obstáculos ou mesmo limites que ainda impedem um uso mais freqüente ou proveitoso desse recurso no ensino de História.(AU)

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The quality of teaching/learning of chemistry has been the subject of several discussions, having its favored comprehension by the need to better understand how the process is occurring in the initial formation of teachers of Chemistry. Formation of teachers has undergone several criticisms regarding the dissociation between theory and practice, the presence of a Technical rationality and formation models that approach a course with features of Baccalaureate. Thus, from the changes after the implementation of new Curriculum Guidelines for Graduation Courses (2002), we understand the contributions of increased and incorporation of disciplines and pedagogical practice along a degree course in Chemistry Graduation Course. This first analysis gave us some indication, but brings no guarantees about the understanding of the formation as it has the chemistry teacher. This way, we seek through interviews analyze the opinions of five formers about developed activities in the Graduation Course in Chemistry in Brazilian Northeast by conducting a case study. We analyze the proximity among course teachers and the teachers of the basic education, as well as their opinions about the characteristics and profile of the first class of graduates. This analysis was essential to achieve the main objective of the study, which was investigating the limits and possibilities of the formation of a teaching/learning teacher in Chemistry Graduation Course. The discussion of this work contributes to the understanding of various present problems in the process initial of Chemistry. The study shows that, though occurred advances in the structure of the curriculum in undergraduate chemistry and good prospects in improving the formation of undergraduates, the limitations made by the models of formation experienced by some teachers, our public politics, work implemented in isolation form, and short period of operation of the course are shown as limiting factors for a better quality of the proposal to form the reflective/researcher teacher, while we have identified some possibilities for teacher formation with the profile mainly due to concern about the quality of formation that is offered to undergraduates by former teachers of the course beyond the activities and attempt to overcome these problems in the course structure and the proper conception of the goals to be achieved during the initial formation process in the course graduation in Chemistry. / A qualidade do ensino-aprendizagem de Química vem sendo alvo de várias discussões, tendo a sua compreensão favorecida pela necessidade de entender melhor como está ocorrendo o processo de formação inicial de professores de Química. A formação de professores tem sofrido várias críticas quanto à dissociação existente entre teoria e prática, presença da racionalidade técnica e modelos de formação que se aproximam de um curso com características do bacharelado. Assim, a partir das modificações ocorridas após a implantação de novas Diretrizes Curriculares para Cursos de Licenciatura (2002), buscamos compreender as contribuições do aumento e incorporação de disciplinas de prática pedagógica ao longo de um curso de licenciatura em Química. Essa primeira análise nos forneceu alguns indicativos, mas não traz garantias sobre a compreensão de como vem ocorrendo a formação do professor de Química. Desta forma, buscamos, através da realização de um estudo de caso, analisar por meio de entrevistas, as opiniões de cinco formadores sobre atividades desenvolvidas no curso de licenciatura em Química do Nordeste Brasileiro. Buscamos analisar a proximidade entre os professores do curso e os docentes da Educação Básica, bem como as opiniões destes sobre as características e perfil da primeira turma de egressos. Essa análise foi fundamental para alcançarmos o principal objetivo do trabalho, que foi investigar os limites e possibilidades da formação de um professor reflexivo/pesquisador em um curso de licenciatura em Química. A discussão em torno deste trabalho traz contribuições para a compreensão de várias problemáticas presentes no processo de formação inicial de professores de Química. O estudo nos mostra que, apesar de terem ocorridos avanços na estrutura do currículo da licenciatura em Química e de boas perspectivas na melhora da formação inicial dos licenciandos, as limitações impostas pelos modelos de formação vivenciados por alguns formadores, as nossas políticas públicas, os trabalhos realizados de forma isolada, e o pouco tempo de funcionamento do curso mostram-se como fatores limitantes para uma melhor qualidade da proposta de formar o professor reflexivo/pesquisador, ao mesmo tempo em que identificamos algumas possibilidades de formação do professor com este perfil principalmente devido a preocupação com a qualidade da formação que é oferecida aos licenciandos pelos professores formadores do curso, além das atividades e tentativa de superação de problemas presentes na estrutura do curso e da própria concepção sobre os objetivos que devem ser alcançados durante o processo de formação inicial no curso de licenciatura em Química.

Os professores sujeitos desta investigação participaramem 2014, do programa de formação continuada no âmbito do Pacto Nacional pela Alfabetização na Idade Certa (PNAIC) e atuamna rede pública do município deRecife/PE. Para isso, fizemos a identificação dos conhecimentos pedagógicos geral, pedagógico do conteúdo e do currículo mobilizados por estes professores caracterizando as formas de organização de ensino presentes nas aulas de Matemática. O pressuposto teórico sobre o qual nos reclinamos são as teoriasda base do conhecimento do professor sobrevindas das pesquisas de Lee S. Shulman. Esta pesquisa nos levou também a identificar como a Matemática é abordada em sala de aula, a escolha e uso dos recursos didáticos (com destaque:livro didático, o quadroe o caderno) e o conhecimento presente no raciocínio pedagógico doprofessor.A coleta de dados ocorreu por meio de observações de aulas, registros no Caderno de Observação e entrevistas semiestruturadas.A partir dos dados coletados, sinalizamos que a prática do professor é singulare tem sido pouco guiada pelos elementos que deveriam ser norteadores da atividade docente:planejamento e currículo. Percebemos que o professor precisa desenvolver em base do conhecimento denovas estratégias que ultrapassem a priorização do ensino de outras áreas de conhecimento em detrimento da Matemática, a maior ênfase em um bloco de conteúdos e o trabalho que perceba e envolva a Matemática além da que é trabalhada formalmente e explicitamente. / This research's objective is to analyze mathematics teaching techniques of three Literacy Cycle teachers. These teachers, the research subjects, participated during 2014 of a continued education program under the Pacto Nacional pela Alfabetização da Idade Certa (PNAIC) andare acting in public schools in the city of Recife/Pe. To accomplish it, we identified the general pedagogical knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, and curriculum knowledge mobilized by polyvalent teachers that act in the Literacy Cycle characterizing the way teaching is organized in mathematic classes. The theoretical assumption in which we are inclined is that the teacher's knowledge base is that of Lee S. Shulman’s research. The field work was done through class observations, records in the observation notepad, and semi-structured interviews. This research also leadedus to identify how mathematics is explored inside the classroom, the didactic resources use and choice (with feature: the book, board and notebook) and pedagogical reasoning behind teacher knowledge. Based on the data collected, we noticed teacher’spractice is unique and has not been as guided as it should be by the teacher’sactivity elements: planning and curriculum. We realized teacher needs to developthroughknowledge base new strategies to surpass: other knowledge areas teaching prioritization but math, focus better in one specific content block and the mathematics perception and involvement worked mostly formally and in an explicit way.

The present study aimed at investigating the video-enhanced reflections of Iranian EFL teachers. It also made an attempt to cast light on the differences between male and female teachers’ video-enhanced self-reflections of their own teaching process. Moreover, the role of experience in changing their video-enhanced reflection was explored. Applying instruments like video-recording, reflection checklists and semi-structured interviews, this study implemented a mixed-method approach with a triangulation design focusing on both quantitative and qualitative data. The findings of the study demonstrate that the video-enhanced reflections of Iranian EFL teachers mostly pivot around issues consisting of innovative teaching strategies, classroom management, learners’ characteristics, classroom interactions, teacher talk, organization of the lessons, technology resources and visual aids. Results also show that the above-mentioned reflections are both experience and gender-sensitive.

This study is an investigation into the morale and motivation of Nigerian teachers. Due to the geographical and administrative vastness of Nigeria this study focuses on Abia State. Abia is one of the 36 States of Nigeria and it typifies the educational structure and practice of Nigeria The study involves teachers and students from two primary and two secondary schools from each of the educational zones in Abia (a total of 12 schools). A focus group of 37 headteachers across Abia State will also be studied and the views of a cross section of students (12 students from each secondary school) are sought. The background information on education in Nigeria and Abia State as well as the reasons for this study are discussed in the introduction. A review of the literature on morale and motivation in African countries and other international studies is presented. The study employs ethnographic multiple case study and focus group methods which included a semi-structured focus group interview, participant observation and a self-administered questionnaire. Research methods and findings are discussed and analysed and from these emerged a motivation model. The study concludes with a discussion and evaluation of the findings. Obviously, any research work of this magnitude would have its limitations. These will be discussed. Recommendations for future research and developments towards improving the morale and motivation of teachers in Nigeria would follow.
