Full textDå läroboken har en dominerande roll i den svenska matematikundervisningen är det av vikt att dessa böcker har ett fokus på vardagslivskopplingen som motsvarar budskapet i kursplanerna samt ger eleverna exempel på matematikens vardagliga tillämpningsområden. Syftet med denna kvalitativa fallstudie av fyra slumpmässigt valda läroböcker i matematik för årskurs 9, utgivna under 60-, 70-, 80- och 90-talet, ur vilka ett stratifierat slumpmässigt urval av textuppgifter dragits, är att studera förekomsten av vardagsrelaterade textuppgifter samt hur läroböckerna uppfyller anvisningarna i kursplanerna rörande den vardagslivsrelaterade kopplingen. Resultatet visar att andelen uppgifter som utgörs av textuppgifter har ökat stadigt från 60- till 90-talet i de studerade läroböckerna samtidigt som de vardagsrelaterade uppgifternas andel av textuppgifterna har minskat. Beträffande kursplanernas anvisningar är det övergripande intrycket att tämligen lite har implementerats via textuppgifterna.

This research analyzes the constitution's movements of the University in Europe and in Brazil; the creation of Mathematics’ first course in Brazil; the constitution of the contents which make up the Linear Algebra discipline syllabus and, finally, its current discipline syllabus in the presential courses in Mathematics Degree of the Brazilian Federal Universities. The purpose of the mentioned analysis is to answer the following research question: how did occur the contents' constitution that compose the syllabus of Linear Algebra in Mathematics degrees of Brazilian Federal Universities? In order to reach this objective, the bibliographical and documentary study were used as methodology, especially classical, history and yearbooks, legislation and the syllabus. The theoretical reference is based on Historical-Cultural Theory assumptions, which is scientific, but also political (MOURA, 2017; VYGOTSKI, 1995; CEDRO, 2008; OLIVEIRA, 2002; ZANELLA, 2007), through the study of logical- historical movement – defended by Kopnin, 1978; Sousa, Panossian, Cedro, 2014; Sousa, 2004; Fazenda, 2000 – of Algebra Linear discipline constitution, according to Pires, 2006; Dorier, 2000, Silva, 2003; Moore, 1995. It was necessary to understand the reasons of its inclusion in the university context and its contribution to the professional formation of Mathematics teacher, according to Bastos (1980; 2006), Boyer (1974), Cavalari (2012), Celestino (2000), Garding (1981), Kopnin (1978), Caraça (1959), Ríbnikov (1987), Tubino (1984), Kleiner (2007), among others. It was analyzed 55 Federal Brazilian Universities that offer presential course of Degree in Mathematics. As categories of analysis were stablished the content of syllabus, the workload and the basic bibliographic reference of compulsory discipline of Linear Algebra of these institutions. As more relevant conclusions, it was observed that Linear Algebra began to be developed and taught in Universities to solve practical problems of diverse intellectuals of engineering and exact sciences, and that the transfer of its indexes in an unrelated way may contribute to the difficulties in teaching and learning process present in this discipline.
Matemática das Universidades Federais Brasileiras. O objetivo dessa análise é o de responder à seguinte questão de pesquisa: como se deu a constituição dos conteúdos que compõem a ementa da disciplina de Álgebra Linear nos cursos de Licenciatura em Matemática das Universidades Federais Brasileiras? Para atingir o objetivo, utilizou-se como metodologia o estudo bibliográfico e documental, mormente de obras clássicas, livros de história, anuários, legislação e ementas. O referencial teórico é pautado nos pressupostos da Teoria Histórico-Cultural, que se constitui científica, mas também política (MOURA, 2017; VYGOTSKI, 1995; CEDRO, 2008; OLIVEIRA, 2002; ZANELLA, 2007), mediante o estudo do movimento lógico-histórico – apregoado por Kopnin, 1978; Sousa, Panossian, Cedro, 2014; Sousa, 2004; Fazenda, 2000 – de constituição da disciplina de Álgebra Linear (PIRES, 2006; DORIER, 2000, SILVA, 2003; MOORE, 1995). Fez-se necessário compreender o que motivou a sua inserção no contexto universitário e qual a sua contribuição para a formação do professor de Matemática, com base em Bastos (1980; 2006), Boyer (1974), Cavalari (2012), Celestino (2000), Garding (1981), Kopnin (1978), Caraça (1959), Ríbnikov (1987), Tubino (1984), Kleiner (2007), entre outros. Foram analisadas 55 Universidades Federais Brasileiras que oferecem o curso presencial de Licenciatura em Matemática. Estabeleceram-se como categorias de análise os conteúdos das ementas, a carga horária e a referência bibliográfica básica da disciplina obrigatória de Álgebra Linear oferecida nestas instituições. Como principais conclusões, observou-se que a disciplina de Álgebra Linear começou a ser desenvolvida e ensinada nas Universidades para resolver problemas práticos de diversos intelectuais das engenharias e ciências correlatas, e que o repasse de seus conteúdos de forma desvinculada pode contribuir para as dificuldades do processo de ensino e aprendizagem presentes nessa disciplina.

Este trabalho visa a estudar a influência da Reforma Benjamin Constant no currículo de matemática do Colégio Pedro II. Benjamin Constant foi professor e Ministro da Instrução, dos Correios e Telégrafos, em 1890-1. Ele quis reformar o ensino brasileiro, desde a escola primária até os cursos superiores. Essa Reforma teve caráter enciclopédico, inchando de conteúdos os programas das disciplinas, sobretudo os de matemática. O Colégio Pedro II foi criado em 1837-8 para servir de modelo ao ensino secundário brasileiro, que se caracterizou por dirigir-se à elite socioeconômica; na prática, o Colégio não correspondeu bem à expectativa inicial. A Reforma alterou os programas de matemática do Colégio; dentre outras modificações, introduziu neles, a partir de 1895, noções de cálculo diferencial e integral. Para analisar a influência da Reforma nos mencionados programas, o trabalho compara os currículos vigentes de 1880 a 1890 aos posteriores (1890- 1900). As bases teórico-metodológicas da pesquisa são Ivor Goodson e Jean- François Sirinelli. O trabalho visa, ainda, a caracterizar Benjamin Constant como intelectual e a examinar se e como esse seu status teria influído na Reforma. A pesquisa usa numerosos documentos: atos normativos (como os decretos que instituíram reformas educacionais no Império e no início da República), documentos curriculares (programas de matemática do Colégio Pedro II) e documentos produzidos pelo próprio B. Constant.
This paper intends to study the influence of the Benjamin Constant Reform in the Mathematics curriculum of the Pedro II School. Benjamin Constant was a Mathematics teacher and the Head of the Instruction, Mail and Telegraph Ministry (1890-1). He intended to reform all levels of Brazilian education and decreed the Reform named after him. The Reform had an encyclopedic nature, inflating the content of the programs for each subject, especially the one for Mathematics. The Pedro II School was founded in 1837-8 to serve as a model for Brazilian secondary education, which was characterized as targeted to the social/economical elite; however, the School does not seem to have fulfilled the initial expectations. The Reform altered the Mathematics syllabus of the Pedro II School; among other changes, it added, from 1895 on, notions of differential and integral calculus. To analyze the influence of the Reform in the aforementioned syllabi, this paper compares the Mathematics curriculum in use in 1880-1890 to the ones used later on (1890-1900). The theoretical and methodological bases for this research were Ivor Goodson and Jean-François Sirinelli. The paper also aims to establish Benjamin Constant as an intellectual, and to examine if and how this status would have affected the Reform. The research uses several documents: normative acts (such as the decrees that established educational reforms in Brazil, during the Empire and in the early Republic), curriculum documents (Mathematics syllabi of the Pedro II School in the 1880-1900 period) and documents produced by B. Constant himself.

Full textVi har under året fått larmrapporter om att Sveriges matematikundervisning är undermålig. Enligt Skolverkets statistik får vi också detta bekräftat. Undersökningen avser att ta reda på hur lärare uttrycker sig kring undervisning, elevens självbild och kunskapsbedömning när det gäller att minimera antalet elever som lämnar grundskolan utan betyg i matematik. I denna kvalitativa studie har vi valt att intervjua sex matematiklärare i grundskolans senare år. Med dessa intervjuer vill vi synliggöra tänkbara orsaker till att svenska elever tappar mark när det gäller matematikkunskaper. Vi har valt att fokusera på hur undervisning och kunskapsbedömning ser ut på skolor med högt respektive lågt antal elever som ej uppnått målen för matematik i grundskolan. Vi har dessutom valt att lägga fokus på hur elevens självbild påverkar förmågan att tillägna sig matematikkunskaper. I vårt resultat visar det sig att våra sex respondenter inte skiljer sig anmärkningsvärt i hur de undervisar och kunskapsbedömer sina elever utifrån högt eller lågt antal elever som ej uppnått målen för grundskolan i matematik. Vad vi däremot kan se är att matematiklärarna är kritiska till hur undervisningen fungerar i de tidigare åldrarna. Respondenterna ger också en tydlig bild av att vår samhällsstruktur har förändrats vilket ger dem elever med skiftande social och kulturell bakgrund. Vi har behandlat dessa iakttagelser i vår diskussionsdel där vi med stöd från olika litteratur och styrdokument ger tänkbara orsaker om hur vi kan åtgärda resultatet utifrån frågor som var ansvaret ligger men också påvisa olika faktorers samspel i den komplexa verklighet vår skola befinner sig.
We have during the year received alarming reports concerning the inferior state of the Swedish mathematics teaching. According to the statistics from the Department of Education we also get this confirmed. The survey intends to find out how teachers express themselves about teaching, the pupil's self-image, and judging of knowledge when it comes to minimizing the number of pupil's who leave elementary school without any grades in mathematics. In this qualitative study we have chosen to interview six teachers of mathematics from the later years of the elementary school. With these interviews we would like to make visible possible causes why Swedish pupils are falling behind when it comes to knowledge in mathematics. We have chosen to focus on how teaching and judging of knowledge look like at schools with a high respectively low number of pupils who haven't reached the goals set up for mathematics in elementary school. We have also chosen to focus on how the self-image of the pupil affects the ability to acquire knowledge in mathematics. Our results show that our six respondents do not in a considerable way differ in the way they teach and judge the knowledge from a point of view where a high or low number of pupils that have not reached the goals set for the elementary school is concerned. What we can see on the other hand is that the teachers of mathematics are critical about the way the teaching works in the earlier years. The respondents also provide a clear picture that the structure of our society has changed which gives them pupils of shifting social and cultural background. We have treated these observations in our discussion section where we with support from different literature and steering documents present thinkable causes about how we can take measures from questions concerning where the responsibility lies but also show the interplay between different factors in the complex reality where our school is.

Full textO presente estudo tem, como objetivo, analisar e comparar criticamente os últimos programas de Matemática, confrontando o programa homologado em 1991 (DGEBS, 1991) com o de 2007 (Ponte et al., 2007), tendo em conta o processo de ensino-aprendizagem, a diversificação de estratégias, atividades e instrumentos, a autonomia da aprendizagem, bem como a auto e a heteroavaliação. Durante dois anos letivos, analisamos o impacto da implementação do programa de 2007 (Ponte te al., 2007) junto de alunos e professores. O processo de investigação é de natureza qualitativa, pois envolve a obtenção de dados descritivos, provenientes do contacto do investigador com a situação em estudo. Na recolha de dados privilegiamos não só as tarefas matemáticas, mas também recorremos a outros instrumentos – relatório matemático, teste em duas fases, diário de bordo, entrevistas a professores e ao relatório final de avaliação do PM II/PMEB. A análise dos dados revelou que, de uma forma geral, perante diferentes abordagens, os alunos tiveram uma aprendizagem mais eficaz, mostrando-se mais autónomos e competentes. Tal foi comprovado em diversos momentos de auto e heteroavaliação, dado que os alunos se mostraram capazes de refletir individualmente, em pares ou em grupo, numa perspetiva construtivista de avaliação reguladora.
The aim of the present study is to critically analyze and compare the latest programs of Mathematics, confronting the program approved in 1991 (DGEBS, 1991) to with the one from 2007 (Ponte et al., 2007), taking into account the process of teaching and learning, the variety of strategies, activities and tools and learning autonomy, as well as self and hetero assessment. For two academic years we have analyzed the impact of the implementation of the 2007 program (Ponte et al., 2007) with students and teachers. The research process is of qualitative nature because it involves obtaining descriptive data from the contact of the researcher with the situation under study. In collecting data we focused not only on the mathematical tasks, but we also resorted to other instruments – mathematical report, test in two phases, the logbook, teacher interviews and the final report of the PM II/PMEB. The data analysis revealed that, in general, faced with different approaches, students had more effective learning, being at the same time more autonomous and competent. This was confirmed on several moments of self and hetero assessment, since the students were able to reflect individually, in pairs or in groups, in a constructivist perspective for regulatory assessment.
