Práticas investigativas no ensino de geometria: contribuições para ação docente

Abstract

This research objective is to identify, explain and describe to a better comprehension of how a teacher organizes and develops with the students the learning of geometry within investigative practices. As for the question that guided this project it was defined as: how teachers organize and develop alongside with the students in the learning of geometry within investigative practices. It was used as the theoretical foundation the ideas of Ponte among others, to approach the math related questions. The subject developed through investigative practice was the geometry of blocks – Space and Shape – in fifth grade. It is a qualitative research with an active approach, as for the analysis of collected data; it was used Discursive Text Analysis technique proposed by Moraes e Galiazzi. Interviews and audio recording were utilized as forms to gather data. The analysis shows that teacher while developing activities proposed under service instruction presented in your actions signs of investigative practice reshaping and producing a better engagement of students in the learning of geometry subjects brought to class; using tests, assessments, demonstrations, and validation. At the end of the research, an E-book was presented as a final product, arranged from the experiences with the activities developed by participant teachers during this research, aiming to be used by fifth grades teachers while targeting subjects related to the geometry of blocks, shapes, and forms.
