NUNEZ, Isauro Beltrán and RAMALHO, Betania Leite. Learning difficulties in General Didactics test items of future primary school teachers. Educação. Santa Maria [online]. 2018, vol.43, n.3, pp.483-498. ISSN 1984-6444. https://doi.org/10.5902/1984644431391.
This study aims to present the errors and associated learning difficulties, detected in the answers of future primary teachers in items in General Didactics knowledge in a public test. Methodology used was the performance and error analysis (NÚÑEZ & RAMALHO, 2012), associating possible learning difficulties that may explain the occurrence of these errors. Empirical data were provided by the UFRN Comissão Permanente de Concursos da UFRN (Comperve/UFRN). Results have shown a poor performance in the test questions and revealed errors and difficulties related to the object of Critical Didactics and fundamentals of teaching based on the ideas of the Cultural Historical School of L.S. Vigotsky, to the organization of contents and the formation of attitudes, among others. These results can be a reference for thinking about the initial formation of teachers in relation to the professional knowledge of General Didactics as an essential dimension of future teaching activity in schools.
