Research In Mathematics Education

As mathematics education has become better established as a domain of scienti fic research (if not as a scientific discipline), exactly what this research is and what its results are have become less clear. The hi story of the past three International Congresses on Mathematical Education demonstrates the need for greater clarity. At the Budapest congress in 1988, in particular, there was a general feeling that mathematics educators from different parts of the world. countries, or even areas of the same country often talk past one another. There seems to be a lack of consensus on what it means to be a mathematics educator. Standards of scientific quality and the criteria for accepting a paper vary considerably among the more than 250 journals on mathematics education published throughout the world.

New technology poses challenges to mathematics educators. How should the mathematics curriculum change to best make use of this new technology? Often computers are used badly, as a sort of electronic flash card, which does not make good use of the capabilities of either the computer or the learner. However, computers can be used to help students develop mathematical habits of mind and construct mathematical ides. The mathematics curriculum must be restructured to include activities that allow students to experiment and build models to help explain mathematical ideas and concepts. Technology can be used most effectively to help students gather data, and test, modify, and reject or accept conjectures as they think about these mathematical concepts and experience mathematical research.

O artigo examina como o princípio pedagógico “aprender a fazer fazendo” se expressava no âmbito da educação matemática no curso Técnico em Agropecuária da Escola Agrotécnica Federal de Sertão (EAFS/RS) nos anos de 1980. Os aportes teóricos encontram-se, principalmente, nas formulações de Michel Foucault e John Dewey. O material de pesquisa é composto por entrevistas realizadas com egressos, além de cadernos, provas e trabalhos da disciplina de Matemática. O exercício analítico sobre esse material, realizado na perspectiva da análise do discurso foucaultiano e por meio da abordagem de Storytelling, possibilitou concluir que a educação matemática da disciplina de Matemática era pouco vinculada ao princípio pedagógico “aprender a fazer fazendo”, priorizando-se o uso da escrita e o formalismo. The paper examines how the “learning to make by making” pedagogical principle was present in the context of mathematical education at Federal Agrotechnical School of Sertão (EAFS/RS) in the 1980s. The theoretical framework is based mainly on the works of Michel Foucault and John Dewey. The research material is composed of interviews with egresses, as well as Mathematics notebooks, tests and schoolwork from that period. The analytical exercise concerning this material, undertaken in the perspective of foucauldian discourse analysis and by means of the Storytelling approach, demonstrated that mathematical education in Mathematical classes was hardly related to the "learning to make by making" pedagogical principle, prioritizing formalism and the use of writing.

ResumoNeste artigo são apresentadas algumas das concepções que se observam, explicitamente ou subjacentemente, no relato de pesquisas na área da educação matemática, as quais orientam seu desenvolvimento, fins e resultados. As concepções destacadas se entrelaçam com várias formas e caminhos possíveis para levantar dados e analisar o que é obtido em investigações no que se refere às situações de ensino e de aprendizagem escolar, ou, a processos formativos de diferentes naturezas e níveis. Não há hierarquização entre elas, não são necessariamente mutuamente excludentes, e, cada uma traz contribuições a serem consideradas nos limites de suas perspectivas.Palavras-chave:  Educação matemática, Metodologias de pesquisa, Concepções de pesquisa, Formação do pesquisador. AbstractIn this article, is exposed an analytic view of conceptions that we can observe in reports of research in the field of mathematical education. They guide the purpose, proceedings and results of the investigation and they interweave the ways and research means of obtaining data. This analysis is done by observing reports of empirical research on school learning or about process of teachers’ education. There are no hierarchy between then and they are not mutually exclusive. Each one brings their contribution that can be considered in their perspectives and limits.Keywords: Mathematic education, Research methodologies, Research conceptions, Researchers’ education. ResumenEn este artículo se analizan concepciones observables, directamente o no, en relatos de investigaciones científicas en el campo de la educación matemática.

Affective Constructs

Mathematics educators incorporate affective constructs into their research as they seek to understand phenomena related to teaching and learning. Some prominent findings in mathematics education research suggest that beliefs provide explanations for some perplexing behaviors. For instance, if students stop working on a challenging task after a short period of time, one explanation may be that they believe that if you understand mathematics, you can solve problems in 5 minutes or less (Schoenfeld, 1988).
