Resumo: Este estudo objetivou discutir sobre os fatores que contribuem para o sucesso e o fracasso nos cursos de Licenciatura em Ciências e Matemática de um centro acadêmico vinculado a uma Instituição de Ensino Superior (IES) do Estado da Paraíba, Brasil, a partir da compreensão dos licenciandos sobre tais elementos. Assim, buscou-se analisar se estes fatores interferem na permanência e no abandono dos estudantes em seus cursos universitários. Com uma abordagem qualitativa, a pesquisa fez uso de um questionário como instrumento de coleta de dados, que foi aplicado a 22 licenciandos. Os estudantes questionados, em sua grande maioria, colocam a referência para o sucesso basicamente no esforço próprio, salientando a dedicação e a perseverança próprias. Quando se discute a relação que os licenciandos estabelecem com o fracasso, vários foram os fatores considerados como deflagradores dos insucessos ocorridos, com considerável peso na didática utilizada pelos seus professores.Palavras-chave: Matemática; Formação de Professores; Fracasso; Sucesso. Success and failure in Mathematics teaching: what says future teachers of an IES?Abstract: This study aimed to discuss the factors that contribute to success and failure in the degree courses in Science and Mathematics of the academic center linked to an Institution of Higher Education (IES) in the State of Paraíba, Brazil, through students’ understanding of such elements. Thus, it was sought to analyze if these factors interfere in the permanence and the abandonment of the students in their university courses. With a qualitative approach, the research made use of a questionnaire as an instrument of data collection, which was applied to 22 graduates. Most of the questioned students place the reference to success primarily in their own effort, emphasizing their own dedication and perseverance. When discussing the relationship that the students establish with failure, several factors were considered as triggers of the failures occurred, with considerable weight in the didactic used by their teachers.Keywords: Mathematics; Teacher Training; Failure; Success.

Abstract: This text arises from the discussions established in the teacher training project for the pedagogical use of technologies in the practice of Mathematics in the early years, developed within the scope of the Pedagogy course at the Centro Universitário de Mineiros - UNIFIMES, the research group NEPEM and the Graduate Program in Teaching - (Doctorate) at the University of Vale do Taquari - UNIVATES. This is a qualitative review of the literature, based on the discussions of the authors used as references in the training course.  Keywords: Professional development. Mathematics teaching.

Abstract This article discusses results from research developed on the transformations in mathematics teaching in primary school and the mathematics in teacher training from the 19th century to the mid-20th century in Brazil. We have analyzed the understanding of the relationship between the mathematical disciplinary field and pedagogy in order to confirm the theoretical hypothesis that the interactions between the two fields produce mathematics of different natures, which are interconnected.

Teaching Learning

I solved many mathematical problems till today - countless academic problems inside the classroom, and a few pragmatic problems outside. At the beginning of my teaching career, I spent significant time convincing my students that mathematics teaching is an algorithmic problem solving of routine mathematical items to get the correct answers. Afterwards, I slowly took a shift from doing mathematics to teaching mathematics, identifying lots of tricks, tips and techniques. I spent more than a decade to train myself with better techniques to become a better mathematics teacher seeking better achievements of students in written tests. Later on, I engaged myself as a math learner and sought the significance of the methods I employed to teach the mathematical concepts, relation, and logics. I am now at the crossroads of searching better alternatives that help students learn mathematics in a meaningful way. I frequently ask myself why I am teaching mathematics. What does a good mathematics teacher mean? What we do is largely guided by what we believe. Questioning on the widely accepted assumptions, examining the deep-rooted beliefs for the positive shift, and highlighting the epiphanies of my professional life could be very essential on becoming a transformative teacher. In this paper, I portray my narratives as a student and as a mathematics teacher to explain my shift towards becoming a transformative teacher. Through my verisimilitude narratives, I invite readers to examine their beliefs and practices on teaching mathematics, and envisage for better alternatives being aware of their limitations and contexts.

Efficacy Belief

Teaching efficacy beliefs have attracted researchers' attention in recent decades because of its close association with and potential impact on the implementation of new ideas and skills in education. In the present study, we have explored the psychometric properties and construct validity of the Turkish adaptation of the Mathematics Teacher Efficacy Belief Instrument developed by Enochs, Smith, & Huinker (2000) for in-service mathematics teachers. The instrument distinguishes between two dimensions of efficacy beliefs for mathematics teachers: personal mathematics teaching efficacy and mathematics teaching outcome expectancy. The sample consisted of 1355 in-service elementary school teachers and middle school mathematics teachers from 368 schools. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis revealed a two-factor structure similar to that found in other studies. Also, scores from the two subscales indicated acceptable internal consistency.

One of the ways in which the National Council can contribute to the improvement of mathematics teaching is through the promotion of and participation in co-operative and constructive planning among teachers of mathematics and of other subjects and school administrators within a school system and on a county, state, regional, and national scale. The fact that National Council programs and many of our publications, as well as the programs and publications of the Affiliated Groups, are planned for teachers at all levels of instruction is continuing to assist in improved understanding among elementary, secondary, and college teachers of mathematics. In the May, 1951 number of The Mathematics Teacher a report was made on the co-operation and affiliation of the Affiliated Groups with education associations in the areas which they represent. The advantages which can come to the National Council through affiliation with the National Education Association will be reported on this page at a later date.
