A Theoretical Map of Formative Practices Aimed at Teachers who Teach Mathematics in the Early Years

Abstract

This theoretical map, carried out according to the conceptions of Biembengut (2008), aimed to identify and understand the training practices facing teachers who teach mathematics in the early years of elementary school. To achieve this goal, a search for papers was carried out on the Journal Portal of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES). We opted for the advanced search, selecting, at the same time, the term “teacher education” in the title and the term “mathematics” in any part of the publication, limited to the data range 01/01/2011 to 24/09/2021. In this first movement, 452 documents were retrieved, which were exported to an electronic spreadsheet. From this, repeated documents were excluded, and the search was carried out, in the abstracts and keywords, for the terms that characterize the initial years of elementary school. After this step, the selection was restricted to 63 articles for reading the abstracts, in order to identify approximation with the objective of this study. This refinement resulted in 15 articles, which constituted the corpus of this research. The map showed that there is greater interest in practices that promote the appreciation of the profession and teaching knowledge, as well as pointing out that Numbers and Operations are the most developed mathematical concepts in educational processes. The results also reinforce the importance of sharing experiences and collective and collaborative construction for the professional development of teachers.
