High-leverage teaching practices generated by professional learning opportunities: an experience of continuing education of mathematics teachers on teaching mathematical inequalities in Basic Education
The interest in teaching practices that bring Mathematics teachers closer to the real context of the classroom has mobilized researchers in the field of Mathematics Education for training pedagogies (initial or continuing) that move away from a conception of thinking about teaching, to a conception of learning about teaching. As a consequence of this approach, teaching practices have emerged that, when well implemented by trainers, can contribute to the future practice of teachers, and when well implemented by teachers, can bring advances in students' mathematical learning. These practices have been recognized by many researchers as High Leverage Teaching Practices. Aiming to address these teaching practices with mathematics teachers at the beginning of their teaching career, this doctoral thesis aims to understand how high-leverage teaching practices, conceived as representation, decomposition and approximation of practice, generated by professional learning opportunities in the context of an ongoing training experience, they contribute to the development of Mathematics Activities for Mathematics teachers on teaching mathematical inequalities in Basic Education. The research was of a qualitative nature and had the voluntary collaboration of four Mathematics teachers from Basic Education. The data referring to the research were collected through a continuous training experience lasting 30 hours, including the implementation of a class for high school students from a public school in São Paulo. At this moment, the data are being analyzed in light of the human relationships that occur in the training experience.
