Didactic guide for teaching practice for teaching mathematics

Abstract

This article is about the educational product, entitled “Teaching Guide: a reinterpretation of teaching practice”, developed in the professional master's course, at the Federal University of Uberlândia – UFU, in the postgraduate program in Science and Mathematics Teaching, whose dissertation entitled ``Pedagogical Residency: contributions to the training of future mathematics teachers”. The objective of this educational product is to present and carry out a re-reading, among the seven activities developed by residents of the Pedagogical Residency Program – PRP in the city of Ituiutaba, state of Minas Gerais, linked to UFU. Randomly, the activity entitled Ladrilho was chosen, for reinterpretation being developed in three parts, the first, a historical approach to teacher training, the second a presentation of the activities developed by PRP residents in the city of Pontal, linked to Ituiutaba – MG, during a school Saturday, open to the school community. The third part is to develop a didactic script, by rereading the activity called tile. To appreciate the educational product, a qualitative research was carried out with the participation of twenty-four teachers from Basic Education, mathematics area, from the cities of Uberlândia, Patos de Minas and Ituiutaba. To validate this educational product, we created and applied a questionnaire using the Google Forms platform, divided into four parts: (a) teacher profile; (b) teaching activities; (c) extra-class activity and (d) appreciation of the didactic script. This questionnaire aims to analyze the contribution of the educational product to teacher training. With the result we observed the diversity of training of those surveyed, they attributed the importance of knowing the evolution of teacher training, opportunities for improvement and training more involved with theory and practice. That training must be constant and that teaching practices must be inclusive, it is necessary to participate in training programs, helping future teachers.
