En este artículo presentamos algunos resultados de investigación que se han obtenido con el desarrollo de un amplio proyecto de investigación sobre el saber profesional del maestro que enseña matemáticas. En particular, nos centraremos en las discusiones metodológicas que están presentes en la vida diaria de las investigaciones que integran el proyecto. Así, las sistematizaciones que se están llevando a cabo desde los diferentes caminos seguidos por los investigadores que forman parte del proyecto, en la investigación del saber profesional del maestro que enseña matemáticas, se recogen en este texto. En forma de etapas de un proceso metodológico, los pasajes de la recopilación de información se analizan inicialmente, teniendo en cuenta las experiencias de enseñanza; en un segundo paso, es el conocimiento organizado a través de estas experiencias y, finalmente, la etapa de transformar el conocimiento en saber se hace explícita. En la caracterización del saber, se utilizan dos categorías: matemáticas a enseñar y matemáticas para enseñar. A partir de estas dos matemáticas, se establecen relaciones entre ellas para construir teóricamente el objeto identificado como el saber profesional del maestro que enseña matemáticas.Palabras clave: saber profesional, matemáticas, enseñanza, historia de las matemáticas, formación de maestros.A Pesquisa sobre História do Saber Profissional do Professor que Ensina Matemática: Interrogações MetodológicasResumoNeste artigo apresentamos alguns resultados de pesquisa que vêm sendo obtidos com o desenvolvimento de projeto amplo de investigação sobre o saber profissional do professor que ensina matemática. Em específico, iremos nos concentrar sobre as discussões metodológicas que estão presentes no cotidiano das pesquisas que integram o projeto. Assim, as sistematizações que estão sendo realizadas a partir dos diferentes caminhos trilhados pelos pesquisadores integrantes do projeto, na investigação do saber profissional do professor que ensina matemática, estão reunidas neste texto. Em forma de etapas de um processo metodológico, analisam-se, inicialmente, as passagens da coleta de informações, tendo em conta as experiências docentes; num segundo momento, o tratam-se dos conhecimentos organizados por meio dessas experiências e, por fim, explicita-se a etapa de transformação dos conhecimentos em saberes. Na caracterização dos saberes, são mobilizadas duas categorias: a matemática a ensinar e a matemática para ensinar. A partir dessas duas matemáticas, estabelecem-se relações entre elas de modo a poder-se construir teoricamente o objeto identificado como saber profissional do professor que ensina matemática.Palavras-chave: saber profissional, matemática, ensino, história da matemática, formação de professores.Research on the History of Professional Knowledge of the Mathematics Teacher: Methodological InterrogationsAbstractIn this article we present some research results that have been obtained with the development of a broad research project on the professional knowledge of the teacher who teaches mathematics. In particular, we will focus on the methodological discussions that are present in the daily life of the researches that integrate the project. Thus, the systematizations that are being carried out from the different paths followed by the researchers who are part of the project, in the investigation of the professional knowledge of the teacher who teaches mathematics, are gathered in this text. In the form of stages of a methodological process, the transformation of information is initially analyzed, taking into account the teaching experiences; in a second step, the are the knowledge organized through these experiences and, finally, the stage of transformation of knowledge from experiences into socially available knowledge is made explicit. In the characterization of knowledge, two categories are used: mathematics to teach and mathematics for teaching. From these two mathematics, relationships are established between them in order to theoretically construct the object identified as the professional knowledge of the teacher who teaches mathematics.Keywords: professional knowledge, mathematics, teaching, history of mathematics, teacher training

Esse artigo traz reflexões sobre uma formação continuada, parte de uma pesquisa qualitativa, que teve por objetivo investigar os saberes docentes (re)construídos por professores do Ensino Fundamental, por meio do estudo de padrões e generalizações com enfoque de uma matemática para o ensino. Destaca-se nessa pesquisa o papel dos saberes que emergem da prática para construção de saberes próprios da profissão docente. O estudo baseou-se em teorias que valorizassem a apropriação de um saber matemático para o ensino, em um processo coletivo e colaborativo de formação. Os relatos dos professores nas discussões coletivas revelaram que eles, em sua maioria, se apropriaram de uma cultura matemática referente ao conteúdo de padrões e generalizações, pois conceitos relacionados a esses conteúdos e às ideias subjacentes surgiram das reflexões da prática docente e das discussões das problematizações propostas.  Ao enfatizar processos de colaboração e investigação, essa formação continuada proporcionou, dentro de um contexto histórico, social e cultural, a (re)construção de novos saberes de uma Matemática para o ensino da Álgebra. This article brings reflections on continuing teacher training, part of a qualitative research that aimed to investigate the teaching knowledge (re) constructed by elementary school teachers through the study of patterns and generalizations focusing on mathematics for teaching. Stands out In this research, the role of the knowledges that emerge from practice, for the construction of specifics knowledges of teacher profession. The study based on theories that value a mathematics knowledge for teaching, in a colletive and colaborative process. The teachers reports in the colletive discussion revealed that them, in their majority, appropriated of a mathematics culture referring to the content of patterns and generalizations, since concepts related to these contents and the underlying ideas emerged from their teachers practice reflections and from proposed problematizations discussions. To emphasize collaboration and investigation this teacher training process provided, within a historical, social, cultural context, the (re) construction of new mathematics knowledge for teaching.

Science Education is a multidisciplinary field of study with roots about three centuries ago. Researches in this field were published for the first time in a scientific journal with School Science and Mathematics, which started in 1901. The number of scientific journals in Science Education has increased in parallel with the increase in the number of related research. The published literature is sometimes about trending topics. In some other cases, they offer novelty and new paradigms. Last 50 years of Science Education are shaped by various topics. Hence, these different issues are being published in scientific journals. At the end of the 70s, studies on constructivism, meaningful learning, misconception, conceptual learning (Driver, & Easley, 1978; Driver, 1983; Driver, & Oldham, 1986; von Glasersfeld, 1984; Ausubel, Novak, & Hanesian, 1978; Novak, 1979 & 1990, Novak, & Gowin, 1984; Novak, & Musonda, 1991) began to come forward. Conferences are being held especially on misconception. Many articles have been published and continue to be published on the topic. Starting with the second half of 80s, studies on PCK, which were first described by Shulman, began to surface in science education journals in the field of teacher training (Shulman, 1986; Usak, 2009, Usak, Ozden, & Eilks, 2011; Usak, Ozden, & Saglam, 2011).

This chapter reviews the state of technology training for early childhood educators in teacher preparation institutions across the country. Using NCATE and NAEYC standards as benchmarks of practice, the chapter outlines some current issues and research on technology training at the preservice level, such as course sequence, textbook choice, content infusion, field experiences, et cetera. The chapter also outlines three technologies, Web 2.0, Google Earth, and the virtual manipulatives that are accessible, free to users, require little teacher training, and have evidence to support their instructional benefits. These three well-developed technologies can easily be introduced to students and teachers as exemplars of constructivist pedagogical technology in early childhood science and mathematics classrooms. Activities using each are included.

Mobile augmented reality games (MARGs) can be leveraged for educational purposes, as there are several examples in the literature revealing their educational value. The supporting technologies for MARGs’ implementation in education are increasingly pervasive and popular, so it is time for their adoption in teacher practices. However, the integration of new practices in schools, with an impact on students’ learning, requires teacher training. For that, a 50 h workshop was con-ducted to promote the collaborative development of MARGs for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics learning, which was attended by 16 in-service teachers, in Portugal. The aim of this study is to propose a set of guidelines for teacher training on MARGs, emergent from the perspectives of teachers who participated in the workshop. This is a descriptive qualitative study focusing on documental analysis of the individual final reflections of the participating teachers. The results showed that the workshop answered teachers’ personal and professional needs, with an impact on their practices, in what concerns the integration of mobile and AR technology, and of games. Producing a new game during training and making it freely available for others to use seemed to be very satisfactory for teachers, and a good practice to follow. From teachers’ reflections, it was possible to propose a set of guidelines useful for international readership, both researchers and teacher trainers, who aim to conceive and develop continuous professional development initiatives for MARGs’ integration in teacher practices.

In our March editorial (Cai et al., 2018), we considered the problem of isolation in the work of teachers and researchers. In particular, we proposed ways to take advantage of emerging technological resources, such as online archives of student data linked to instructional activities and indexed by learning goals, to produce a professional knowledge base (Cai et al., 2017b, 2018). This proposal would refashion our conceptions of the nature and collection of data so that teachers, researchers, and teacher-researcher partnerships could benefit from the accumulated learning of ordinarily isolated groups. Although we have discussed the general parameters for such a system in previous editorials, in this editorial, we present a potential mechanism for accumulating learning into a professional knowledge base, a mechanism that involves collaboration between multiple teacher-researcher partnerships. To illustrate our ideas, we return once again to the collaboration between fourth-grade teacher Mr. Lovemath and mathematics education researcher Ms. Research, who are mentioned in our previous editorials(Cai et al., 2017a, 2017b).

Abstract.THE INFLUENCE OF EMOTIONS IN THE CHOICE OF UNIVERSITY CAREERSIn order to know the emotions experienced by secondary school students in learning different scientific subjects and how they could influence the subsequent choice of university careers, we carried out an investigation with 142 students from Master’s Degree in Teacher Training in Secondary Education (MUFPES) of the branch of Sciences during three courses (2010/2013), which are distributed in three scientific specialties offered in the Master: Physics / Chemistry, Biology / Geology and Mathematics. The study leads us to affirm that there is a concordance between the emotions experienced as science learners and future careers carried out later, emphasizing positive emotions above negative emotions.Keywords: emotions, careers choice, teacher training, science, Secondary Education.Resumen.Con el fin de conocer las emociones que experimentaron los estudiantes de Educación Secundaria en el aprendizaje de diferentes asignaturas científicas y cómo ha podido influir en la posterior elección de carreras universitarias, realizamos una investigación con 142 estudiantes del Máster Universitario en Formación del Profesorado de Educación Secundaria (MUFPES) de la rama de Ciencias durante tres cursos académicos consecutivos (2010/2013), los cuales se encuentran distribuidos en tres especialidades científicas ofertadas en el Máster: Física/Química, Biología/Geología y Matemáticas. El estudio realizado nos lleva a afirmar que existe una concordancia entre las emociones experimentadas como aprendices de ciencias y las futuras carreras realizadas con posterioridad, destacando las emociones positivas por encima de las emociones negativas.Palabras clave: emociones, elección de carreras, formación del profesorado, ciencias, Educación Secundaria.
