A FORMAÇÃO COLETIVA DE LICENCIANDAS EM MATEMÁTICA: CONTRIBUIÇÕES DA ATIVIDADE ORIENTADORA DE ENSINO

Abstract

This doctoral research takes as theoretical reference the Historical-Cultural Theory, the Activity Theory and the theoretical-methodological assumptions of Teaching Guiding Activity. From this perspective, it is assumed that human development is mediated by social relations, that work is the main activity of man and that the teacher in the development of his work – the teaching activity – must organize teaching in an intentional way. Assuming that the object of research in education is the Pedagogical Activity, understood as a unit between teaching activity and learning activity, the object of this research is the collective movement of training for teaching. By intentionally organizing teaching, seeking to enable students to learn concepts, the teacher triggers processes of reflection, analysis and synthesis. This movement may bring new quality to the way the teacher organizes the Pedagogical Activity, putting him/her in a learning movement. Thus, the importance of carrying out the Pedagogical Activity in the collective is understood, because when carrying out the activity in the collective, there is a division of actions and initial operations among individuals, exchange of modes of action, mutual understanding, communication, action planning individuals and reflection. Here, collective work is understood as a set of coordinated actions that are carried out by a group of people who have common needs and goals and who work together to satisfy these needs. In this sense, the research question is: How do formative movements favor the understanding of Pedagogical Activity by Mathematics graduates taking the Teaching Guiding Activity as a principle and practice in a process of collective formation? The main objective is to analyze the training movements for teaching learning developed in the study group, seeking to understand them as a possibility for the process of collective training. Formative movements are understood as the processes that mobilize knowledge, actions and reflections, enabling the individual to add new qualities to teaching learning, and in this research the study, planning, production of tasks, the development of pedagogical actions, reflection and evaluation. The research participants were three Mathematics undergraduates from a federal educational institution in Goiás. For the investigation process, a formative experiment was organized that took place in the study group composed of the teacher/researcher and the undergraduates. In the study group, the participants carried out readings and theoretical discussions, prepared tasks and developed them in weekly meetings with high school students. Data collection took place through audio and video recordings, field diary, undergraduate students' reading diaries, memorial and photographic records. The analysis was organized with the aim of apprehending the movement of the investigated object and is presented in the following units: Guiding Dimension, Executing Dimension, Reflection and evaluation processes. It was observed that the study group taken as a learning space for teaching enabled the development of a collective training process, in which the undergraduates could understand the Pedagogical Activity from the principles and practices of the Teaching Guiding Activity.
