Abstract

GARNICA, Antonio Vicente Marafioti  and  MILANEZ, Natalia Cristina. The collection Mathematics, methodology and complements for primary school teachers, by Ruy Madsen Barbosa: an interpretative analysis. Ensino em Re-Vista [online]. 2021, vol.28, e029.  Epub June 29, 2023. ISSN 1983-1730.  https://doi.org/10.14393/er-v28a2021-29.

The main goal of this text is to perform a hermeneutic examination of a set of books entitled Mathematics, Methodology and Complements for primary school teachers. Such analysis was developed according to Thompson´s Depth Hermeneutics and the idea of paratexts as proposed by Genette. The book set is comprised of three volumes published in 1960s by Ruy Madsen Barbosa. From a didactical and pedagogical point of view, such hermeneutic exam shows some points that can be considered innovations. However, elements of a conservative nature could also be detected, such as those in which the author seems to defend some values related to the scientific practice of mathematics instead of values considered more suitable to guide teachers in their teaching practices.

Keywords : Textbook analysis; New Math Movement; History of mathematics education in Brazil; Elementary school; Teacher education.
