Explicitação de antecipações de professores para formação em geometria num contexto de EAD

Abstract

In this paper, we seek to investigate the effects of a technique used for explaining or predicting pedagogical practices by mathematics teachers. This technique was applied with four teachers, working in pairs. These predictions may be useful for educators and researchers, allowing them to better understand the different methodologies and identify teachers' initial analysis elements. We sought to integrate this situation of explaining teachers' predictions with the Reflection stages of the Shön (1992) Pedagogical Practical Cycle. As we were interested in observing some formative elements in a long-distance teaching situation, as well as identify contributions and limits pertaining to a long distance teaching environment for explaining and documenting these predictions, we sought to integrate the idea to the Being Virtually Together Theory, used as an underlying basis. As such, the basic idea was to request that a teacher create a teaching situation for another teacher to implement. This situation should be about the study of Symmetries through Dynamic Geometry. Result analysis indicates that the technique allowed for a better explanation of teachers' predictions, thus contributing to the development of the Reflection phases of the Pedagogical Practice Cycle.
