Este texto analisa a entrada da Álgebra nos saberes matemáticos de formação de normalistas, a partir das últimas décadas do século XIX. Considera o debate entre dois modelos diferentes, para a formação dos professores dos primeiros anos escolares: o modelo ilustrado, para o ensino de cultura geral e o modelo de formação profissional restrita. A análise realizada toma os referentes da História Cultural. O estudo orienta-se pela questão: que razões justificam a entrada da Álgebra na formação do professor do ensino primário? Os resultados da investigação mostram a presença de rudimentos algébricos que amplificam o domínio da Aritmética tradicional. Em sentido mais amplo, tais conclusões indicam que para o estudo dos modelos de formação é necessário considerarem-se as finalidades de cada um dos saberes particulares, de cada conteúdo matemático.Palavras-chave: Formação de Professores.

The analysis takes the referents of Cultural History. This study is guided by the question: What reasons justify the entry of Algebra into the training of primary school teachers? The results of this investigation show the presence of algebraic rudiments that amplify the domain of traditional Arithmetic. More broadly, these conclusions indicate that for the study of training models it is necessary to consider the purposes of each particular knowledge, of each mathematical content.Keywords: Teacher Training.

Virtual laboratories are increasing for all areas of scientific domains. However, the concept of such laboratories can be extended to include educational activities. But the point is, how to do it? We have been involved in the development of a virtual laboratory on mathematics education for the past 15 months. Our institution is involved in the training of primary school teachers. On their final year, our students go to primary schools and teach there in some supervised classes. Our idea is to create an instrument that can be used with primary school children by our students, during the earlier-mentioned practice in schools. Therefore it has to be an instrument with features that include being appealing to children, easy to use, and helpful to novice primary school teachers.

Sustainable Development (SD) is a rich, challenging and thought-provoking construct in social sciences. The main purpose of this paper was to identify and explore the role played by primary school teachers in building up the idea of sustainable development (SD) among students. This paper was intended to identify that how a teacher can successfully execute the concept of SD by influencing students’ minds at the primary level. Quantitative survey technique were utilized for data collection. All the primary school teachers of Lahore division comprised the population of the study. Through multistage sampling technique, 352 primary school teachers were selected as participants of the study. A self-developed SD questionnaire incorporating four major factors (teachers’ awareness, pedagogy, curricular and co-curricular activities) with Cronbach’s alpha value = .93 was used to measure the role of teachers in building the sustainability concept among students at primary level. The results indicated a significant mean score difference among SD scores of teachers, sector wise (private and public). Furthermore, the results also reconnoitered the significant difference (p=.04) between the mean scores of female and male teachers in building up the SD concept in students’ minds.
