A participação em duas pesquisas realizadas no Estado de São Paulo deu origem à presente dissertação. A primeira foi desenvolvida pelo grupo Pibid (Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência) da Capes, no ano de 2010, na qual foram investigados os possíveis problemas, relacionados ao ensinoo de ciências, enfrentados na escola pública. A segunda foi desenvolvida pelo grupo Boas práticas Docentes no Ensino de Matemática da Cesgranrio, em 2011, que se comparada com o primeira, apresentava um foco oposto, não apontando os problemas, mas evidenciando prática de ensino que estavam dando certo através da observação das aulas de 64 bons professores do Estado de São Paulo. Apesar de seres pesquisas diferentes, de grupos de pesquisa, distintos e realizadas em anos, também, diferentes, ambas preocuparam-se em analisar o desempenho dos alunos nas avaliações em larga escala. Partindo da experiência na primeira pesquisa, na qual identificamos alguns possíveis agravantes do ensino de matemática e ciências, e tendo observado o diferencial desses professores no ensino de matemática na segunda, a presente pesquisa segue uma ótica unificada. A Cesgranrio identificou 12 práticas de ensino que contribuem para um aprendizado de qualidade. Este trabalho, no entanto, tem por objetivo apontar os facilitadores e os agravantes que colaboram ou dificultam alcançar as boas práticas de ensino segundo os participantes da pesquisa da Cesgranrio, realizada em 2011. Para tanto, foi elaborado e aplicadoum questionário, com questões fechadas e abertas e 14 professores de Matemática do estado de São Paulo que participaram da pesquisa Boas Práticas Docentes no Ensino de Matemática, que se prontificaram... / One of the arguments which prompt current research related to education and the continuous training of teachers is the unsatisfactory results shown in public schools in wide scale assessments. This dissertation originated in the participation in two investigations carried out in the State of Sao Paulo. The first was carried out by Capes Pibid Program (ProgramaInstitutional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência - Institutional Program for the Initiation to Teaching Scholarship), in 2010, in which the possible problems faced by public shools related to the teaching of science were investigated. The second was developed by the Cesgranrio group Good Teaching Practices in the Teaching of Mathematics in 2011, which, if compared to the first, took the opposites slant, not pointing out the problems, but showing teaching practices which were working out through the observation of 64 classes taught by good teachers in the State of Sao Paulo. Although they were different investigations, of distinct research groups and carried out in different years, both took the trouble to analyze student performance in wide scale assessments. With the experience of the first investigation, in which we identified some possible aggravating factors in the teaching of mathematics and science as a stepping stone, and having observed the differences of the those teachers in the teaching of mathematics in the second, this research follows a joint approach. Cesgranrio identified 12 teaching practices which contribute to quality learning. This work, however, aims to point out the facilitators and the facilitators and aggravating factors which help towards or hinder good teaching practices in the Cesgranrio research, which took place in 2011. In order to do so, a questionnaire was elaborated and applied with open and closen questions put to 14 Sao Paulo Mathematics Teachers who took part in the research Good Teaching Practices in the Teaching of Mathematics, who...

The purpose of this explanatory sequential mixed-methods study is to identify and describe the readiness of female Saudi mathematics teachers in the areas of subject matter knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge to integrate STEM disciplines. The study also examines mathematics teachers’ attitudes and obstacles in implementing STEM education. The sample consisted of 98 female mathematics teachers for the quantitative phase and 6 for the qualitative phase in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The findings revealed that Saudi female middle school mathematics teachers appeared to have extensive pedagogical knowledge and an average level of subject matter knowledge but they needed systematic support, such as training courses or professional development programs, to be able to implement integrated STEM education in their classes. Most of the participants also showed a positive attitude toward integrated STEM education and its implementation. The qualitative findings confirmed and explained the quantitative findings. Additionally, participants believed that teachers’ knowledge, preparation, motivation, and professional development in integrated STEM education as well as school setting were the most important obstacles that challenged the implementation of integrated STEM education. Based on the results, I recommend an integrated STEM education degree to prepare future STEM teachers and start an awareness campaign to educate people about STEM literacy and its importance for the country’s future.
