Laboratório de educação matemática "Zaira da Cunha Melo Varizo": um mosaico sobre a formação de professores no IME/UFG

Abstract

The Laboratory of Mathematical Education "Zaíra da Cunha Melo Varizo" (LEMAT), was created in 1994 as an attempt to change a reality lived by the IME, where the abandon and failure rate of the course was high, and also with the objective of attending the specifics of the degree in mathematics at that institute. In this way, the objective of the present work is to investigate a teacher training immersed in LEMAT practices, seeking out to identify the strategies traced and narrated by the laboratory coordinators with perspectives to favor an initial and continuous formation of teachers, inserted in the context of the time (1994 -2015). The Survey uses Oral History as an methodological alternative and uses interviews as the main source of data, in addition to other written sources. In this sense, we chose to interview all the coordinators of the laboratory in that period (Zaíra da Cunha Melo Varizo, Wellington Lima Cedro, José Pedro Machado Ribeiro, Jaqueline Araújo Civardi, Maria Betânia Sardeiro dos Santos, Janice Pereira Lopes) as well as the Educational Technician (TAE) - Silmara Epifânia Castro Carvalho. We work with semi-structured interviews, which have been transcribed, sent to the collaborators for the correct corrections, etc., elaborated a textualization, which is an integral part of this dissertation. We construct a narrative analysis, which we call a mosaic, which is about transcription, mobilizing all the material found on the subject. This narrative shows that the laboratory has undergone changes both in its configuration and in its role for teacher training.
