Uma história de (des)encontros no mestrado profissional em Ensino de Ciências Naturais e Matemática da UFRN (2002-2016) - vídeo sobre o uso de um produto educacional no ensino de matemática

Abstract

The Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) defines professional master’s course as a postgraduate modality Stricto Sensu that offers professional courses aiming to stimulate scientific capacity applied to the teachers from the basic education and/or professionals from formal and not formal teaching in the diverse fields of knowledge. The context of this research is the professional master’s course in the Natural Sciences and Mathematic (CMPECNM), from Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), that started its activities in the first half of 2002, aiming to qualify, in a master level, teaching graduated or bachelors involved in teaching activities. This study has importance due to necessity to tell the CMPECNM’s trajectory related to the individual understanding based on coordinators, teachers and students’ point of view in the development of Educational Product, that is an exigence of this master modality. As main objective, this research has a historiographic study related to understanding of these people about Educational Product as a result of CMPECNM of the UFRN, from 2002 to 2016. Research data is from 2016, due to the curricular structure of this course that offers the subject Developing and Evaluation of Instructional Materials, whose menu comprises elaboration and evaluation of Educational products. The methodologic proceedings are oral history concepts, to become possible a historiographic writing of this theme. Theoretical approaches are based on Meihy (2005), Alberti (2004a, 2004b), Lang (2011) and Grupo História Oral e Educação Matemática (GHOEM) studies. To the historiographic writing, it takes intertextuality based on Ruiz & Faria (2012) and Oliveira & Brito (2013) about interviews and many documents related to the professional master’s course. The Educational Product is a video that can be used as an audiovisual technology to pedagogical approaches, named “Informative video about the importance of Educational Products to the Mathematic teacher”. It presents not only general information about Educational Products concerned to Mathematic teaching, created by students from CMPECNM/UFRN, detaching its importance to the Mathematic classes, and how to access it. At last, this intertextual analyze showed that the interviewers’ comprehension about Educational Products are neither linear nor pacific, including, passing time and PPGECNM consolidation, there are different ways of understanding this theme due to continuous and collectives reflections presented in the CAPES’ official documents, to ensure that teacher, when choose this professional master modality, can use those products aiming a significant Mathematic learning.
