Probability Problem

The teaching of probability is conditioned by teachers’ mathematical knowledge. In this paper, an exploratory study is carried out with prospective teachers. A training task was designed requiring them to create and solve a probability problem using the values of euro coins, which was adapted to students aged 11 to 12. The study aimed at determining what mathematical knowledge prospective teachers show when dealing with the task. The data were collected through the Moodle online Campus. We framed the data analysis in the Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching model and we used content analysis as the methodological approach. The results indicate that, despite finding evidence of adequate common and specialised mathematical knowledge, in approximately half of the prospective teachers participating in the study, too many of them still show a lack of knowledge in both subdomains. There was also little evidence of knowledge of the curriculum. The main finding of the research is that, when prospective teachers get involved in complex creative tasks, they mobilised together specialised and common mathematical knowledge, working into different mathematical processes such as problem posing and solving, communication, and argumentation, which reinforces the need to continue working on these types of complex tasks.

Content Knowledge For Teaching

In this article, we present our reflections on some of the interactions between Mathematical Modeling and the discussions concerning the professional knowledge of teachers. These interactions, as proposed through the continuing education of early years teachers, show that coordination between these two fields is beneficial to the training of educators, both facilitating the learning of mathematical content and contributing in various ways to the development of skills used to investigate and understand the role mathematics plays in society. Furthermore, the article highlights how these discussions have proved valuable in allowing teachers to understand the importance of possessing specialized content knowledge for teaching mathematics, as posited in the Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching model, developed by Ball, Thames and Phelps (2008).

In their description of the mathematical work of teaching, Ball,  Bass & Hill (2004) describe the mathematical problem solving that teachers do as they go about their work. In this paper we add to this description through our study of teaching of probability in a grade 8 multilingual classroom in South Africa. We use instances of teaching to highlight the mathematical problem solving that teachers might face as they work with learners’ ideas, both expected and unexpected. We discuss  the restructuring of tasks as an inevitable feature of teachers’ work, and argue that in addition to scaling up or scaling down of the task as Ball et al. (2004) describe, restructuring can also entail shifting the mathematical outcomes from those intended. We also point out how well known issues in mathematics education, for example working with learners’ everyday knowledge, and the languages they bring to class, are highlighted by the context of probability, enabling additional insights into the mathematical work of teaching.

Este trabalho apresenta um estudo realizado com cinco professores de Matemática, em início de carreira, ex-bolsistas do Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência (Pibid), cujo objetivo foi evidenciar os Conhecimentos Didáticos e Curriculares dos participantes sobre o ensino de problemas do campo aditivo, conforme indicado pelos parâmetros curriculares nacionais. A coleta de dados se deu por meio de entrevistas e protocolos respondidos pelos professores. Como referenciais teóricos, no tocante ao início de carreira, foram utilizados os trabalhos de Huberman e Garcia. Em relação aos conhecimentos de professores necessários à docência optou-se por Ball, Thames e Phelps. A análise dos dados nos permitiu verificar que os professores no processo de ensino do campo aditivo dão bastante ênfase à ideia de combinar dois estados para obter um terceiro, não destacando outros importantes significados. Portanto, faz-se necessário uma ampliação na base de conhecimentos desses docentes para o ensino das operações.   Palavras-chave: Professores em Início de Carreira.

The data collection was done through interviews and protocols answered by the teachers. As theoretical references, regarding the beginning of the career, the works of Huberman (1995) and Garcia (1999) were used. Regarding the teachers' knowledge required for teaching, Ball, Thames and Phelps (2008) were chosen. The analysis of the data allowed us to verify that the teachers' knowledge about addition operation is restricted to the meaning of joining and that the idea most used to work with this theme in the classroom involves problem situations with money. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the knowledge base of these teachers.   Keywords: Teacher Early-Career Teachers. Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching (MKT).
