Prospective teachers’ professional vision in the analysis of episodes of a mathematics class in the inquiry basic teaching perspective

Abstract:

This article discusses aspects of the professional vision of pedagogy students manifested in analyzing a teacher's actions in class from the exploratory teaching perspective. For this analysis, the students had access to video-recorded class episodes present in a multimedia case. A qualitative and interpretative investigation was carried out, with an approach based on intervention research. The results show that the pedagogy students perceived aspects of the professional vision associated with: (i) the teacher’s role in the organization and management of a class from the exploratory teaching perspective; (ii) the importance of establishing connections between theory and practice; (iii) mathematical activity mediated by communication and argumentation, and (iv) content knowledge for the development of the mathematical activity. Thus, developing a professional vision triggered by the perception, analysis, and justification of those aspects helped promote professional knowledge and project future teaching actions.
