GINO, Andréa Silva  and  GOMES, Maria Laura Magalhães. Teachers in the early years of basic education: approaches and detachments towards Mathematics. Educação. Porto Alegre [online]. 2014, vol.37, n.3, pp.471-481. ISSN 1981-2582.  https://doi.org/10.3703/set-dez201415.

This article presents some results of a doctoral research guided by the following question: how teachers who teach Mathematics in elementary school perceive and narrate the contributions of LASEB, a Postgraduate Program for Teaching in Basic Education? The contributions of the course were investigated in ten narratives collected in interviews with ten teachers conducted according to the methodology of oral history. The focus of the article is one of the most evident aspects in the narratives, namely the approaches and detachments of the teachers towards mathematics. While acknowledging the contributions LASEB has brought to their training, the teachers considered the results of the course are not strong enough to support their role of teaching mathematics in the early years of elementary school.

Keywords : Continuing Education of Teachers; Mathematics Education; Oral History.
