MARIA POI, Thassiane; LUZ, Adriana Augusta Benigno dos Santos; GOES, Anderson Roges Teixeira and GOES, Heliza Colaço. Initial teacher training in mathematics - investigating the Graphic Expression in the curriculum of UFPR. Acta Educ. [online]. 2019, vol.41, e36603. Epub Mar 01, 2019.

In this research the historical context of the Graphic Expression disciplines present in the curriculum of the Mathematics course of the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR) from 1974 to 2006 (year of the last curricular reform) is discussed. The purpose is to indicate the possible cause for the almost no development of concepts in this area, which in Basic Education encompasses, above all, Geometry in the Mathematics discipline. For this, we seek information in official documents, direct work with students, teachers and public schools of basic education, verifying that the study of Graphic Expression has been subtracted, causing a gap in the formation of the future teacher who should develop such topics with his future students, indicating a possible cause for the (dis)appearance of the work of concepts in Basic Education contributing to the curricular fragmentation.
