Resumo
Este trabalho teve como principal objetivo investigar as contribuições que a Álgebra Abstrata Moderna (onde se trabalham as teorias de Grupos, Anéis e Corpos, dentre outras), ministrada como uma disciplina em cursos de Licenciatura em Matemática no Brasil, poderia dar à Formação Inicial de Professores de Matemática. Esta pesquisa teve caráter qualitativo e foi apoiada no Modelo Metodológico de Romberg-Onuchic. Visando alcançar esse objetivo, propusemos uma pesquisa de campo, desenvolvida em 2015, com uma turma do quinto período de Licenciatura em Matemática do Instituto Federal de Goiás (IFG). Para isso, elaboramos e implementamos um projeto de ensino com o propósito de levar os alunos dessa turma a construírem um conhecimento satisfatório de Álgebra Abstrata Moderna e mostrar a relação de seus conteúdos com os da Educação Básica. Para a construção desse conhecimento, fizemos uso da Metodologia de Ensino-Aprendizagem-Avaliação de Matemática através da Resolução de Problemas, figurada no campo da Educação Matemática e consolidada por diversas pesquisas como eficiente no processo de ensino, aprendizagem e avaliação de Matemática em diversos níveis – Fundamental, Médio e Superior. A correlação entre os conteúdos de Álgebra Abstrata Moderna e os da Educação Básica se deu através da proposição, aos estudantes da referida turma, de atividades extraclasse, que, sempre, em um momento posterior, eram discutidas, em sala de aula, por todos os integrantes desse processo: alunos, pesquisador e professor da disciplina. Contou, ainda, com dois encontros exclusivos para se trabalhar, discutir e analisar essa associação – Álgebra Abstrata Moderna e Educação Básica. A coleta de evidências foi feita através da observação do pesquisador durante a aplicação do projeto; materiais produzidos pelos alunos; mídias (gravações em áudio e vídeo dos encontros realizados); e uma avaliação diagnóstica que teve como foco: Formação de Professores, Álgebra e Resolução de Problemas. Os resultados confirmaram que a Álgebra Abstrata, se trabalhada de forma adequada, poderá trazer contribuições significativas à formação de professores de Matemática.
The main purpose of the present work was to investigate the contributions that Modern Abstract Algebra (which the theories of Groups, Rings and Fields, among others, are worked on), as a discipline in Degree courses in Mathematics in Brazil, might give to initial Teacher Education in Mathematics. The present research has a qualitative approach and it was grounded on the Methodological Model of Romberg-Onuchic. In order to achieve that goal, we proposed a field research, developed in 2015, involving a class of fifth semester students of Degree in Mathematics at Instituto Federal de Goiás (IFG). To that end, we elaborated and implemented a teaching project with the purpose of enabling that group of students to build satisfactory knowledge on Modern Abstract Algebra and showing the relationship of its contents to the ones of Elementary Education. In order to build such knowledge, we used the Methodology of Teaching-Learning-Evaluation in Mathematics through Problem Solving, found in the field of Mathematics Education and consolidated by several researches as effective in the process of Mathematics teaching, learning and evaluation in several levels – Elementary, Middle and Higher Education. The correlation between the contents of Modern Abstract Algebra and the ones of Elementary Education came about through the proposition to that group of students of extracurricular activities which were always discussed further in classroom by all people involved in that process: students, researcher and teacher. There were also two meetings with the only purpose of working, discussing and analysing this association – Modern Abstract Algebra and Elementary Education. The evidence-gathering was made through the researcher’s observation during the project application, the materials produced by the students, the media (audio and video recordings of the meetings) and a diagnostic evaluation focused on Teacher Education, Algebra and Problem Solving. The results confirmed that Abstract Algebra, if properly worked on, might bring significant contributions to Teacher Education in Mathematics.
