SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS ON TEACHING AND LEARNING MATHEMATICS IDENTIFIED IN BRAZILIAN SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTS DEVELOPED IN 2014-2018

Keywords: social representations; mathematics; teaching and learning

Abstract

Assuming that the social representations actively produced by the subjects are supports to their actions, we sought in the mapping of Brazilian dissertations and theses, produced between 2014 and 2018 and provided by CAPES, the representations about the teaching and learning of mathematics. Therefore, we highlight the theoretical support adopted in scientific productions, the teaching-learning process focused on students and teachers, and also the school mathematics and it’s consequences. Became evident that mathematics is still depicted socially negatively as a difficult knowledge, destined for a few, reduced to calculations, which emanates fear, nervousness and disinterest. It is also associated with poor school performance, poorly prepared teachers, lack of teachers and precarious work; lack of commitment and dedication to studies; family participation and the economic factor determining student’s conditions of dedication. Mathematics graduation conditions are identified as precarious and dichotomous between theory and practice; just as there are memories of teachers while they were students influencing their practices as teachers.
