Conhecimentos didático-matemáticos de futuros professores de matemática sobre educação financeira

Abstract

The present work has as general purpose investigating the didactic-mathematical knowledge mobilized by future Mathematics teachers participating in a workshop, in which a sequence of activities was developed, consisting of five tasks mainly centered on themes related to Financial Education from the perspective of Mathematical Education. It is a qualitative research, developed through a documentary study, based on the investigations' state of knowledge carried out in the context of the Mathematics teachers’ knowledge and, of a content analysis, related to the knowledge mobilized on Financial Education, by a sample made up of undergraduate students from licentiate in mathematics from two public higher education institutions in the north of Minas Gerais. Data collection was performed during the execution of tasks, on remote teaching modality, with synchronous and asynchronous activities carried out in small groups and, later, shared/discussed in plenary sessions with all participants. The data were collected through video recordings by Google Meet and some activities and/or solutions/answers of tasks, posted on Google Classroom. The main theoretical framework used consists of the Didactic Mathematical Knowledge model (DMK), developed within the scope of the Ontossemiotic Approach of Knowledge and Mathematical Instruction. Among the main conclusions, we emphasize that the specialized publications carried out in Brazil on the knowledge of teachers who teach mathematics reveal the relevance of the topic to the scientific community, the lack of consensus on the criteria to be used for categorizing the didactic and mathematical knowledge of teachers, the potential for the development of research that articulates the Didactic-Mathematical Knowledge and Financial Education themes, particularly with regard to investigating how this knowledge is produced / mobilized in the context of basic education mathematics teachers.
