Preliminary analysis in the study of conics: the case of the parabola in the context of mathematics undergraduate courses in Ceará. Acta Educ. [online]. 2024, vol.46, n.1, e62597.  Epub 01-Mar-2024.

This work aims to analyze different documents that provide information about the curriculum of the discipline of Analytical Geometry in Mathematics Licentiate courses, offered by public Higher Education Institutions in the state of Ceara, observing whether the notion of parabola is contemplated in the study of this discipline and how it is approached with undergraduates. To this end, the methodology adopted when structuring this work consists of the first phase of Didactic Engineering, which is the preliminary analysis. This first analysis was documentary, carried out from the syllabus of the discipline and curricular programs of the degree courses in Mathematics. The documents analyzed were made available by seven public institutions, six of which are Universities and one Federal Institute. In this study, aspects such as objectives of the discipline, form of evaluation, teaching procedures, bibliography used, among other information considered relevant, when available, were observed aiming to understand the gaps during the initial training of mathematics teachers in that subject. The results point to the demand for support materials aimed at an approach to the parabola that links its application both in the context of Analytical Geometry and the functions, as well as for the need to maintain the connection between these topics of study in the path between basic education and higher education.

Palabras clave : parabolas; analytical geometry; initial teacher training; mathematics teaching.
