FRANCA, Denise Medina de Almeida. Afro do Amaral Fontoura: the systematization of arithmetic knowledge for the Guanabara teacher training courses. Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2022, vol.21, e066.  Epub Sep 13, 2022. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v21-2022-66.

The article investigates whether the teacher Afro do Amaral Fontoura can be considered an expert in school mathematics in times of Escola Nova and investigates the knowledge he systematized in the primary education program of the State of Guanabara, published in 1962. The methodological theoretical framework uses the following concepts: professional knowledge, mathematics to teach, mathematics for teaching and the expert. The study is guided by the following questions: what traces allow us to affirm that Afro do Amaral Fontoura was an expert for the teacher training course in the teaching of mathematics, from 1950 to 1970, in the initial grades, when proposing Escolanovistic ideas? What knowledge was systematized and objectified by Fontoura throughout the Arithmetic Program of the State of Guanabara (1962)? To answer these questions, based on sources found at the Higher Institute of Education in Rio de Janeiro, we found that Fontoura falls into the category of educational expert in the state of Guanabara, so that it enabled the systematization of arithmetic knowledge approached throughout practical life situations.

Keywords : Expert; Systematization of knowledge; Afro do Amaral Fontoura.
