FISCHER, Maria Cecília Bueno. A experiência das classes-piloto organizadas pelo GEEMPA, ao Tempo da Matemática Moderna. Rev. Diálogo Educ. [online]. 2006, vol.06, n.18, pp.101-112. ISSN 1981-416X.

The subject of this text is the study of an experience realized in pilot-classes, implemented by GEEMPA - Study Group on teaching Maths of Porto Alegre, in 1972. As it is well known, this particular GEEMPA’s experience made history in terms of Maths in Porto Alegre schools. The main objective of this study is to analyse this particular experience. It is part of a wider research that aims to teachers’ traces left in a time of international renew on maths teaching methods. The research methodology combine oral history collected through interviews undertaken with teachers of pilot-classes and, also, analysis of documents of GEEMPA’s archives where one can find didactics materials related to planning and development of those classes and other documents. Up to now, taken the information given by the interviewers, one can identify that the pilot-classes experience was very important in the processes of teaching teachers as well as for the pupils. The main questions of the research project are: how the school as a whole integrated the pilot experience developed in just one of its classes? How was the relationship with other classes of the same school level? Was it possible socialise the results of the experience with colleagues of other classes and schools of Porto Alegre and in the state of Rio Grande do Sul as a whole? How it can be explained that this experience was, as it seems, very positive, when the Modern Mathematics Movement in a world-wile level was, by that time, declining?
