ENCOUNTERS AND DISENCOUNTERS BETWEEN MATHEMATICS TEACHERS AND TEACHERS WHO TEACH MATHEMATICS IN A COURSE OF CONTINUING EDUCATION. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2015, vol.31, n.4, pp.305-329.

We present a study based on two investigations into LASEB-FAE-UFMG, a Post-Graduate Program for Teachers in Basic Education. The study examines the relationships built between teachers who teach mathematics and teachers who graduated in math. The investigations, completed in 2013, concern the interactions of teachers of first and second segments of elementary school, showing differences and identities. Between encounters and disencounters, teachers have learned with each other, increasing their training in content and in teaching, which was made possible by the approach chosen for the course, based on the field of Mathematics Education. The assertion of identities of both kinds of teachers - the generalist teachers and the experts - was evidenced in the contacts. The experience proved to be rich in the construction of interactions and learning about each other, as well as on the training processes of elementary school, leading to reflections on initial teacher training.
