A disciplina conteúdo e metodologia para o ensino de matemática na visão dos estudantes do curso de Pedagogia

Abstract

The present work has as general objective to investigate the contribution of the discipline Content and Methodology for the teaching of Mathematics, in the formation of the licentiate in Pedagogy - area of concentration Educação do Campo. The methodological procedures are based on qualitative research, regarding the approach and on exploratory research and case study, regarding the objectives and procedures. The research instrument used was a questionnaire, composed of twelve open questions. The subjects were 13 students from the Pedagogy Course with an area of deepening in Rural Education, from the Federal University of Paraíba - UFPB, who took the discipline Content and Methodology of Mathematics Teaching, in the period 2019.2. The theoretical foundations were based on official documents, such as the PCN (BRASIL, 1997) and the BNCC (BRASIL, 2018), in addition to studies by Curi (2004), among others. The subjects confirm the relevance of the discipline for future teaching practice, but point to weaknesses such as the lack of approximation with the reality of the field. The disciplines also present reflections related to the methodology, including questions that focused on the contents of mathematics, indicating that the emphasis of the discipline falls on methodological aspects. We conclude that it is necessary to deepen the studies in mathematics during the course, with an increase in thecourse load of the discipline or offer of other components related to Mathematics and to include themes related to rural education in the proposed discussions.
