A importância da prática reflexiva na formação inicial de professores de matemática: uma análise a partir de experiências no laboratório de ensino de matemática

Abstract

This study investigated the importance of reflective practice in the Mathematics Teaching Laboratory for the initial training of teachers. Based on a qualitative, exploratory, and bibliographic approach, the methodological procedures involved literature review, classroom observation, and activity analysis. The results emphasized the relevance of reflective practice in promoting the development of pedagogical skills and preparing future educators to face educational challenges. The initial teacher training should integrate theory and practice, fostering critical and collaborative reflection for more meaningful and inclusive teaching. The research was conducted at Campus IV of the Federal University of Paraíba, with the participation of Mathematics undergraduates, highlighting the importance of reflection in problem-solving and the interaction between theory and practice. The findings contribute to the improvement of pedagogical approaches in the context of the Mathematics Teaching Laboratory and to the formation of more reflective and effective teachers.
