ResumoNeste artigo discutimos resultados de uma pesquisa em que se analisou ações propostas em uma disciplina de Prática de Ensino, identificando aquelas que podem ter possibilitado a construção de conhecimentos tecnológicos e pedagógicos de conteúdo, por egressos de um curso de Licenciatura em Matemática. Dentre as ações identificadas, duas são relacionadas à aprendizagem da docência, uma vivenciada na sala de aula da disciplina, em que o acadêmico teve colegas como alunos, e a outra realizada no espaço da escola, em que o acadêmico assumiu a regência de uma aula de matemática em escolas de Educação Básica. O objetivo neste artigo é analisar essas duas ações e possíveis relações com a construção de conhecimentos tecnológicos e pedagógicos de conteúdo matemático. Os dados foram produzidos na pesquisa a partir de entrevistas realizadas com 27 egressos desse curso de Licenciatura em Matemática, que realizaram a disciplina de Prática de Ensino e concluíram o curso, no período de 2010 a 2015. A partir da análise de “falas de egressos”, concluiu se que as duas ações propostas na disciplina de Prática de Ensino, nas quais os professores em formação tiveram a oportunidade de praticar a docência, podem ter oportunizado a construção de conhecimentos tecnológicos e pedagógicos de conteúdo matemático. Nessas ações, esses egressos tiveram que estudar conteúdos matemáticos e tecnologias, de maneira a atender objetivos de aulas e favorecer a aprendizagem de seus alunos.Palavras-chave: Prática de Ensino. Formação Inicial. Matemática. Tecnologias Digitais.AbstractIn this paper we discuss the results of a research in which actions proposed in a Teaching Practice discipline were analyzed, identifying those may have made the construction of technological and pedagogical knowledge, by graduates of a Mathematics Degree. Among the actions identified, two are related to teaching learning, and other experienced in the classroom, in which the students was the academic’s colleagues, and the other was in the school space, in which the academic took over the conduct of a class of mathematics in Basic Education schools. The objective of this article is to analyze these two actions and possible relationships with the construction of technological and pedagogical knowledge of Mathematical content. The data were produced in the research based on interviews with 27 graduates of this Mathematics Degree, who took the Teaching Practice discipline and completed the course, from 2010 to 2015. From the analysis of the “speeches of graduates”, it was concluded that the two actions proposed in the Teaching Practice discipline, in which the teachers in training had the opportunity to practice teaching, may have given rise to the construction of technological and pedagogical knowledge of Mathematical content. In these actions, these graduates had to study Mathematical content and technologies, in order to meet class objectives and favor the learning of their students.Keywords: Teaching Practice.

Mentor teachers play a vital role in the pre-service training of teachers.  The role of mentor teachers assumes even more significance when the training is done at a distance education institution.  It is impossible for lecturers and university representatives to reach every teacher student during the weeks of teaching practice done at schools in a big country like South Africa.  The feedback obtained from the mentor teachers is thus important to train student teachers when they present their lessons during weeks of teaching practice at schools.  But the feedback from mentor teachers can also be used for the future training of student teachers.  Mentor teachers should, however, also be informed about their role as mentors for student teachers.  In this article the way feedback of mentor teachers could be used to improve the quality of the lessons of student teachers when offering language lessons in Grades 1 – 3, is discussed.

Devolution of power to get things done with other people depends on the collegial relationships that are fostered in the organisation as its source of energy. Even the success of a mentoring programme to develop the human resource development needs of an organization, such as schools, hinges on the collegial relationship between the mentors and their mentees. Dialogue is an essential component of this reflective mentoring learning process. Dialogue empowers mentees, such as student teachers, to build their teaching skills with the invaluable input of their mentor teachers in schools. Participation in collegial teams can expand such novice teachers levels of expertise by providing a source of intellectual provocation and innovative ideas. The quantitative research method was used for the purpose of this study. The research design compared the perceptions of student teachers about the Postgraduate Cetificate in Education (PGCE) with those of their school mentors regarding the classroom practice and the performance of the students in terms of the latters WIL skills. The findings in this study indicate strongly that there is a significant correlation between the teachers perceptions of the PGCE and those of their student teachers. This study confirms that effective communication in mentoring strengthens the collegial relationship which, in turn, contributes to an enhanced performance and the professional development of the mentees. Additional research needs to be conducted to determine the type of emotional support training that mentors receive and the impact that training has had on the mentor and the mentoring relationship.
