Os participantes desta investigação eram alunos do último ano do curso de Licenciatura em Matemática, da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande (campus de Campina Grande), no Estado da Paraíba. Os dados apresentados nesta dissertação foram coletados basicamente em três momentos: (1) durante a realização de entrevistas com 16 licenciandos sobre suas expectativas para o uso da TI; (2) em um mini-curso organizado para que os participantes planejassem aulas em que a informática estivesse presente, com o objetivo de implementá-los durante o estágio supervisionado, e; (3) na realização de 05 entrevistas, após o término do estágio supervisionado dos participantes do minicurso. Outras informações importantes vieram de conversas síncronas (chats) e trocas de e-mails com os licenciandos ao longo da disciplina de estágio. Após os procedimentos de análise dos dados coletados, foi possível identificar temáticas associadas às expectativas, que versam sobre a própria formação docente dos entrevistados e sobre ao uso pedagógico da TI, e outras associadas às dificuldades destes professores em formação. Além destas, dificuldades surgidas ao planejar o uso da TI, e possíveis causas geradoras de dificuldades, também foram apresentadas e discutidas. No final deste trabalho, considerações necessárias, principalmente aos curso de Licenciatura em Matemática concernente ao uso educacional dessa tecnologia, foram feitas. / Abstract: This study has aimed to analyse and discuss questions related to expectations and difficulties of pre-service mathematics teacher education students with the use of Computing Technologies (CT) at school. The research was developed with last-year students of Mathematics teacher education at Universidade Federal de Campina Grande (major campus), state of Paraíba, in the Northest of Brazil. The data presented in this research were collected in three stages: (1) through interviews with 16 students about their expectations of the use of CT; (2) in a workshop, where the participants prepared classes plans using that technology with the objective of executing them later during a supervised practice, and; (3) through 05 interviews after the end of the supervised practice carried out by the workshop participants. Other important pieces of information came out from chats and e-mails exchanged among the students along their supervised practice discipline. After the analyses procedures of the collected data, it was possible to identify different thematics associated with the expectations and dificulties. Some thematics deal with the interviewees' own Teacher Education and about the pedagogical use of CT. Other thematics are linked to difficulties of those teachers in formation, arised during the planning and reflection on the use of CT, as well as possible reasons that had created them. At the end of this work, necessary considerations have been pointed out, especially to graduation courses on Mathematics teacher education concerning the use of educational technology. / Mestre

Thesis advisor: Lillie R. Albert / In mathematics education, there is an imperative for more just and equitable experiences in mathematics spaces, as well as ongoing efforts to move classroom instruction toward mathematical inquiry. While Mathematics Teacher Educators (MTEs) are expected to support multiple initiatives in mathematics education, they are particularly responsible for the professional learning of teachers and teacher candidates. MTEs must therefore prepare and support the professional learning of teachers to achieve twin goals. This study was designed to understand how MTEs envision their roles in supporting development of teachers across MTEs’ many professional functions in their work toward the twin goals of equity and inquiry. The findings suggest that identifying the forms mathematical knowledge takes is important for mathematical inquiry and that interrogating these forms can be used to counter pervasive social myths about who can do mathematics. Further, MTEs articulated three interrelated values for application of mathematics inquiry teaching for justice and equity: creating space, supporting sense-making, and naming how power and privilege have operated and continue to operate in mathematics spaces. Finally, MTEs described how mathematics inquiry practices are a mode for understanding the world and can be used to promote equity by uncovering biases and assumptions. These findings suggest a promising avenue for leveraging mathematical inquiry to increase equitable outcomes in mathematics spaces. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2020. / Submitted to: Boston College.

What knowledge do teachers need for integrating appropriate digital technologies in teaching mathematics? An overarching construct called TPACK is proposed as the interconnection and intersection of knowledge among technology, pedagogy, and content and is referred to as the total knowledge package for teaching mathematics with technology. Five stages in the process of developing TPACK - recognizing, accepting, adapting, exploring, and adapting – describe the process of teachers’ learning to integrate technology. Teachers learn to teach mathematics from their own learning – K-12 mathematics - collegiate mathematics coursework, teacher preparation program, field experiences and professional development as they teach mathematics. The challenge is to identify appropriate experiences to guide this integration of technology in teaching mathematics in ways that develop TPACK. A framework for these experiences directs attention to emergent social and psychological perspectives.

Para tanto, mostramos que este estudo é relevante para a educação matemática pois evidencia uma carência na literatura científica sobre a influência de Políticas Educacionais na vida profissional do professor de Matemática, na voz deles mesmos. Num outro momento fazemos um paralelo entre as mudanças ocorridas no Reino Unido, no governo de Margareth Thatcher, e o brasileiro, principalmente na décade de 90, particularmente em relação ao sistema educacional. No segundo capítulo fazemos uma análise da entrevista que efetuamos com um professor de Ensino Fundamental, com o objetivo acima em mente. E por fim, fazemos conclusões de modo a dialogar com nosso objetivo inicial e assim oferecer, talvez, subsídios aos formuladores/implementadores de políticas educacionais e formadores de professores de Matemática. / This aimed at identifying the ways in which public educational actions (policies) can be affecting the professional life of teachers of mathematics, By examining their own speeches. We show that this is a relevant study for the field of Mathematics Education (by eliciting a void on literature related to this subject). We then present, for the sake of better positioning the current situation in Brazilian school systems, a reading of the similitude between what has happened in the UK (Thatcher and post-Thatcher era) and in Brazil (beginning from Fernando Collor s government), in terms of an increased control of school systems, opposed to a consistent effort to remove government from the productive system. In Chapter 2 we analyse an interview made with a teacher who works on grades 5 to 8 and, finally, on Chapter 3 we offer conclusions and some possible suggestions for educational policymakers and for mathematics teacher educators.
