As concepções sobre docência de profissionais responsáveis pela formação inicial no Curso de Licenciatura noturna em matemática da Universidade Federal da Paraíba Campus I

Abstract

The present work, driven by concerns and discomforts shared during graduation with fellow students, aims to analyze the understanding of teaching assumed by professionals responsible for training graduates in mathematics at UFPB. We use as theoretical basis Medeiros (2008), Medeiros (2009), Silva; Lima (2013), Fiorentini (1995), Neto; Matos; Júnior (2012 ) among others, as well as official documents such as the PPP of the Mathematics Course of this institution and the LDB. The research took place through an interview on Google Forms, with 7 professors from the mathematics department at UFPB, campus I. The aforementioned form was composed of closed and open questions and the methodology was characterized as qualitative. The result of the survey showed a high level of teacher training, as well as, for the most part, extensive experience as a teacher. It was also possible to identify several conceptions about teaching, where some teachers consider it as a profession requiring training, others consider it as an art, there are those who identify it as an activity of transmission of knowledge and those who consider it as an association between teach and learn.
