However, this perspective coexists with an evaluation dynamic focused on performance and results. Objectives: This research intends to problematize what a group of Engineering students says about the evaluation processes and their purposes in Mathematics and Physics subjects, offered in the context of remote teaching. Design: Ideas from qualitative research in a Foucauldian perspective. Environment and participants: The sample consisted of 85 engineering students, enrolled in Physics and Calculus subjects, in the first semester of 2021. Data collection and analysis: Application of an online questionnaire, with six Physics or Calculus classes, in a community university of Rio Grande do Sul. Results: The discourse analysis according to the Foucauldian perspective produced two analysis units that indicate how the eighty-seven participating students conceive evaluation in their utterances. The first one indicates that they think evaluation enables their own learning to be monitored and assessed, and decisions to be made by professors. The other one points out that students conceive evaluation as classifying and meritocratic, focusing on performance, outcomes, and grade measurement. Conclusions: Contradictory and complementary conceptions coexist, indicative of the different roles attributed to assessment in formal education contexts. In general, the research participants evidence the reproduction of statements that circulate socially about the evaluation and its roles. Such results can be productive for teachers and institutions to understand that they also meet the expectations of an evaluation system with an emphasis on regulation and control.","PeriodicalId":36967,"journal":{"name":"Acta Scientiae","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45465268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, it is present in the school curriculum of various countries, such as Chile. Objective : To analyse the teaching of the concept of randomness in primary education mathematics textbooks in Chile. Design: The research uses a qualitative methodology and uses the content-analysis method. Setting and participants : 42 textbooks were analysed, including student texts and activity logs. Data collection and analysis : Through content analysis, the sections and segments of the textbooks in which the concept of randomness intervenes are studied, relating them to definitions, problem situations, cognitive levels that should be developed, and the use of technological tools. Results : The concept of randomness is introduced through random games and concepts associated with random experiment, chance, random, and sample space, without delving into the definition of some cardinal concepts such as chance and randomness. Conclusions : The textbooks partially conform to the Chilean curricular guidelines. In addition, activities related to the concept of randomness generally refer to the use of physical devices and, on a small scale, to the use of technological tools. Finally, the textbooks present a small number of problem situations with an adequate cognitive level that favours the development of skills necessary for primary education students’ acquisition of probabilistic thinking.","PeriodicalId":36967,"journal":{"name":"Acta Scientiae","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45193740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective: To investigate how the topic area of flat figures is introduced and guided in elementary school textbooks and to verify the potential and limitations of the proposals to mobilise the figural apprehensions and acquire knowledge. Design: This is a documentary research with a methodology based on the content analysis proposed by Bardin. Setting and participants: Four collections approved by the PNLD in 2019 and 2020 were selected. Data collection and analysis: In these collections, the volumes and units that addressed the topic in question were identified. The data analysis, carried out in light of Duval’s figural apprehensions and the four stages suggested by Clements and Stephan for constructing the concept of plane figure areas, seeks to identify whether the mathematical skills described by the BNCC can be favoured. Results: the proposals of the collections show the importance of using the grid for introducing the concept and calculation of the area of plane figures at the different levels of education; however, few activities mobilise reconfiguration processes. Conclusions: It is essential to propose activities that allow students to understand the area equivalence between the modified figures and lead them to understand the rectangular configuration and the formulas for area calculation.","PeriodicalId":36967,"journal":{"name":"Acta Scientiae","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46728326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objectives: To analyse the use of the instrument to ﬁnd the altitude of the Sun as a didactic resource for teaching and learning the concepts of chord and arc of a circle in the education of undergraduate students in mathematics. Design: The research takes place through a university extension course that uses the theoretical and methodological foundations of the teaching guidance activity. Setting and Participants: The research environment is the training of students at the State University of Ceará. The training action was attended by 12 participants. The choice criterion was that they were studying for a degree in mathematics, and the selection took place in the order of enrollment in the activity. Data collection and analysis: From the assumptions of the teaching guidance activity, data collection was carried out with the recording of videos and audio, photographic records and students’ writings, while the analysis was based on connections and interconnections on the action of the subjects, and on the conceptual nexuses. Results: The new instrument to ﬁnd the altitude of the Sun has didactic potential to work with the concepts of arc and chord of circumference because, from it, these concepts are mobilised as practice, and it is possible to see how they relate. Conclusions: The new instrument to ﬁnd the altitude of the Sun can be explored in the interface between history and mathematics teaching as a resource to favour teaching and learning, whether in basic education or higher education.","PeriodicalId":36967,"journal":{"name":"Acta Scientiae","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45073686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Design: We propose solving problem situations concerning the calculus of surface areas and volumes of round bodies using Cavalieri’s principle and Pappus’s theorems. Setting and participants: The research was conducted with two high school third-grade classes of a state institute of education located in the municipality of Júlio de Castilhos, RS, Brazil, with the participation of 25 students. Data collection and analysis: It was carried out through activities developed in the classroom and feedback given through Google Classroom. It was subsidised by the documental transcription of students’ records. Results: The research indicated that the didactic sequence development favoured intellectual autonomy and meaningful learning about the object of knowledge.

Setting and Participants: Fifty-four pre-service and in-service mathematics teachers from the Brazilian city of Paulo Afonso, Bahia, participated in a teacher education process. Data Collection and Analysis: Participant observation, data collection and analysis following an analysis protocol guided by the constructs of the onto-semiotic approach; analysis of productions. Results: Development and application of 24 sequences of activities focusing on the study of geometry. High epistemic adequacy was observed based on the application of the analysis protocol concerning structuring sequences of activities. Regarding the other dimensions, concerning the analysis of the application of the activities (cognitive-affective, interactional-mediational, ecological), high adequacy was observed.

Objective: To highlight the problem of reverse mathematical modelling, in the sense of a reverse formulation that goes from the mathematical model to the situation. Design: For this, a course of study and research was carried out guided by the investigative cycle of mathematical modelling that is based on theoretical-methodological resources of the anthropological theory of the didactic. Setting and Participants: Pre-service teachers of a teaching degree at a public institution were faced with a problem in an unusual context about the decimal number system and, more broadly, the positional number system. Data collection and analysis: We present an empirical approach based on research carried out by Ferreira (2020) with teachers in initial training. Results: The empirical results observed confirm the hypothesis of the existence of the problem of reverse mathematical modelling, even in the face of normative models, in the sense that they can faithfully describe a real situation. Conclusions: Ultimately, the study of a type of problem in an unusual context, in addition to highlighting the encounter of teachers with different objects of knowledge, revealed the remarkable difficulty in delimiting the type of quantification situation that can be associated with the mathematical model of the number and as stimulate future research on the teaching of reverse mathematical modelling.","PeriodicalId":36967,"journal":{"name":"Acta Scientiae","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43256374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
