This research emerged from the need to study pedagogical evaluation and also on how teachers use external evaluation to improve mathematics teaching in the early years. The investigation was developed with a qualitative approach of an interpretative nature, in the form of a collective instrumental case study. The general objective of the research is to analyze how teachers use external evaluation to improve their teaching practices in mathematics in the early years and the thesis presented is that the practice of evaluation in an articulated perspective can consolidate the relevance of pedagogical evaluation for the improvement of student learning and education management. Dimensions such as summative assessment, formative assessment, mathematics teaching and external assessment are analyzed, as well as an articulated perspective of assessment in the classroom. The empirical data were the object of a content analysis guided by a reference matrix, elaborated with the theme of evaluation, present in the dialogues with the researched teachers and in the theoretical framework adopted on internal and external evaluation. We considered in the research that external evaluation has subsidies that can be considered in the pedagogical evaluation process and that it should be at the service of improving students' learning. The data showed that teachers seek to know the results of external evaluation and are concerned with students' performance in mathematics and also, in a non-formal way, pedagogically analyze external data and make connections with the organization of teaching, learning and internal evaluation of the school. They commonly understand evaluation as a diagnostic function and recognize the need for theoretical deepening in Mathematics. They share with the school team the planning of teaching and assessment practices to improve student performance in external exams and point to the perspective of developing assessment practices that are at the service of improving student learnin.

O sentido das regras no ensino de frações
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-02-28) BARBOSA, Marcel de Almeida; SILVEIRA, Marisa Rosâni Abreu da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3588315106445865; http://orcid.org/0000-0002-3147-9478
The research aimed to discuss how teachers apply mathematical rules to the concept of fraction, based principally on wittgensteinian concepts, to follow rules, focusing on operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of fractions. According to Wittgenstein's Philosophy of Language, following rules is a praxis, what constitutes the rule is its collective use, constant practice. The methodology had a qualitative approach, from the data collection through a questionnaire, as well as support in bibliographic data. Research in mathematics education, as we will see, points out that students have many difficulties in dealing with both the concept of fraction as well as with operations involving this concept, as well as that their teaching is geared to the mechanized use of rules. As the mathematical language is governed by rules, it is possible for a teacher to teach them, not through doubts, but through certainties. (WITTGENSTEIN, 1996). The research showed that the participating teachers, who teach mathematics in the early years, have doubts about the application of mathematical rules, such as the rules involving the operations with fractions, as well as conceptual errors that can corroborate for teaching with deficits in the basic education.
