Encontros, desencontros, afetos em um Percurso de Estudo e Pesquisa em matemática: questionamentos do mundo em meio à crise

Abstract

The field research for this thesis begins in March 2020, together with the beginning of social isolation, compelled by the Covid-19 pandemic, which resulted in the closure of schools and the imposition of carrying out the teaching process through the called “Remote Emergency Teaching”. Our problem relates to the process of constitution, establishment and maintenance of a group of teachers in the first year of the pandemic. For the development of this research, the theoretical and methodological framework of the Anthropological Theory of Didactics -TAD was adopted. Our proposal aimed to make possible the rupture, or at least a rupture with the Visit to the Works Paradigm, capable of allowing an approximation with aspects of the Questioning of the World Paradigm -PQM, through an experience based on this last paradigm. Our main objective was “To study conditions and restrictions that reverberate in the work of a group of teachers who think about teaching second degree equations, in the light of the PQM, in a pandemic context”. To achieve this, we proposed the creation of a Study and Research Path for the teaching of second degree equations. We take chronogenesis, mesogenesis and topogenesis as the main dimensions of the investigation so that we can study the PEP. In order to understand conditions and restrictions that weigh on the teaching action, we mobilized the levels of didactic co-determination. Parallel to this process, we seek to understand the actions developed by modeling them according to a PEP related to the experiences in this moment of great challenges for all the components of the group, which is also presented, described and analyzed in this thesis. Among the various considerations that these studies made possible, we highlight that developing a work with a group of teachers, in accordance with the assumptions of the PEP methodology, led the components of the group to rethink their own practices and introduce actions in their pedagogical activities that allow bring the teaching process closer to the field of research. This is a fact that is close to the assumptions of the Questioning of the World Paradigm, in addition to favoring cognitive changes of the group components, related to their teaching actions. In addition, we could see that the process towards the development of a PEP brings with it characteristics that are similar to a training process. The work carried out in this perspective, at this atypical and pandemic moment, shed light on the fact that, for healthy maintenance, training needs much more than a good theoretical and pedagogical development in the area that it intends to address. It also demands the constitution of an environment that welcomes the desires and needs of the group of participants, allowing each component a feeling of belonging and attention to their personal and professional demands.
