Abstract
MathTASK é um programa de pesquisa e desenvolvimento que engaja professores de matemática em situações de sala de aula desafiadoras e altamente contextualizadas na forma de tarefas (chamadas de mathtasks). As respostas de professores às tarefas revelam seus discursos matemáticos e pedagógicos e abrem oportunidades para articular, considerar e reconstruir tais discursos. As tarefas foram usadas como instrumento de pesquisa e também de formação de professores e desenvolvimento profissional no Reino Unido, na Grécia e no Brasil. Neste artigo, apresentamos o programa MathTASK e um exemplo de mathtask. Em seguida, apresentamos um resumo dos construtos teóricos que emergiram na análise dos dados do programa MathTASK. Então, indicamos os princípios gerais do uso de mathtasks na pesquisa e formação de professores e damos quatro exemplos dos princípios, cada um dirigido a diferentes aspectos do ensino e da aprendizagem de matemática, e cada um desenvolvido tendo em mente níveis educacionais e contextos. Concluímos com observações sobre os benefícios de usar mathtasks como uma forma de estimular e facilitar reflexões de professores de matemática sobre suas práticas.
MathTASK is a research and development programme that engages mathematics teachers with challenging and highly contextualised classroom situations in the form of tasks (mathtasks). Teacher responses to these tasks reveal their mathematical and pedagogical discourses and provide opportunities to articulate, reflect and reform said discourses. These tasks have been used as instruments for research as well as teacher education and professional development in the UK, Greece and Brazil. In this chapter, we first introduce the MathTASK programme and a mathtask example. We then present a summary of theoretical constructs that have emerged in the course of analysis of MathTASK data. We then present the general principles in using mathtasks into research and teacher education and we exemplify these principles through four examples, each addressing different issues of mathematics teaching and learning, and each developed with different educational levels and contexts in mind. We conclude with observations on the benefits of using mathtasks as a means to trigger and facilitate mathematics teachers’ reflection on their practice.
