Pre-service teachers (PSTs) often have to plan and teach a lesson in a practicum setting as part of their methods class. This assignment is designed to give PSTs a chance to enact ambitious instruction; however, they often encounter obstacles that prevent them from engaging students in core disciplinary practices. A structure, based on lesson study, provides opportunities for PSTs to experience and identify these obstacles, revise their plans to address them, and engage in ambitious instruction while re-teaching the revised lesson. This structure also recasts initial lessons as opportunities to learn and improve through collaborative reflection. Examples of this structure are described, including features that contribute to PST learning and lesson improvements. Obstacles to ambitious instruction as well as strategies to overcome those obstacles are identified and discussed. Parallels are drawn between ambitious mathematics teaching and ambitious teacher education.

Este artigo analisa as resoluções de duas questões de matemática adaptadas do Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (ENEM) e de vestibulares, envolvendo combinatória, com o intuito de investigar semelhanças e diferenças entre as estratégias de resolução empregadas por alunos que experienciaram o Ensino Exploratório de Matemática (EEM) e aqueles que não vivenciaram formalmente esta perspectiva de ensino. Para tanto, é realizada uma análise qualitativa de 24 resoluções de dois grupos de alunos do segundo ano de dois cursos de licenciatura em Matemática: 14 com experiências no EEM e 10 sem este tipo de experiência. Os resultados evidenciam que, além de um maior percentual de acertos, os alunos com experiência no EEM apresentam maior variedade de estratégias, envolvendo justificativas e articulações que esclarecem os raciocínios empregados e a relação entre suas (re)soluções e o contexto da questão. Assim, o estudo sugere que a perspectiva do EEM pode configurar um panorama promissor para o ensino e a aprendizagem da Matemática, inclusive no que se refere à resolução de questões de avaliações sistemáticas, bem como a limitação de processos avaliativos alicerçados exclusivamente na solução final.Palavras-chave: Metodologia de Ensino.

Thereunto, a qualitative analysis of 24 resolutions of two groups of second year students of two undergraduate courses in Mathematics teacher education is performed: 14 with EMT and 10 without this type of experience. The findings evidence that, further a higher percentage of hits, students with EEM experience presented greater variety of strategies involving justifications and articulation to clarify the reasoning used and the relation among their solutions and the question context. Then, the study suggests the EEM perspective may configure a scenery of teaching and learning of Mathematics regarding to the solving questions of systematic evaluation, as well as the limitation of evaluation processes based exclusively on the final solution.Keywords: Teaching Methodology.

This paper describes a mathematics task inspired by a children’s storybook, The Important Book by Margaret Wise Brown, and how secondary mathematics preservice teachers’ (PSTs’) experiences with this reform-based task influenced their development as educators. Findings suggest that PSTs enjoyed the opportunity to be creative and make connections to personal experiences. Engaging in this writing task also affected PSTs’ development as mathematics teachers as it allowed them to think more broadly about mathematics teaching and see the value in reform-based approaches for teaching.

This article reports on the views of intermediate and senior phase pre-service teachers (PSTs) enrolled in mathematics education modules that attempt to teach both content and pedagogy. The PSTs are students in a four-year Bachelor of Education (BEd) model located in a faculty of education. Findings were analysed by means of an analytic framework that takes into account the university–school divide. Findings indicate that the PSTs position themselves in different ways with regard to their preparation for school mathematics teaching. Implications are considered, especially the PSTs’ affective views such as their anxiety and apprehension related to the discursive differences between the content in the university modules and school mathematics.
