EPAEM: duas décadas de história e produções científicas

Abstract

This dissertation is a historical narrative of the EPAEM1 editions. Researching the theme was the way found to awaken the sleeping memories of the events and, thus, expose them, since it was not known where the documents of the regional meetings were kept. From the problematic raised, the following question was raised: how to write the history of SBEM-PA and the scientific productions of EPAEM? In order to answer the question, it was established as a general objective to investigate the creation process of the EPAEM and the production of the twelve meetings, carried out in the period from 1999 to 2019. The theoretical-methodological basis that guided the construction of the research and composed the study is based a qualitative research, which allowed greater familiarity, since the subject is still little known and explored. We sought to conduct an exploratory survey process, which allowed the visualization of the procedures adopted, with a view to improving ideas, discovering intuitions and formulating hypotheses. Thus, it was observed, during the survey of the documents and reports of the organizers, that the number of works presented more than doubled, considering the 3rd to 12th edition of the event, as well as the thematic axis that stood out most was the of teaching-learning of Mathematics. This allowed us to conclude that, if the meeting is related to Mathematics Education, the greatest strength was conferences, lectures, short courses, scientific communications and posters, which dealt with the profile of Mathematical Education.
