KRIPKA, Rosana Maria Luvezute; QUADROS, Everton Luís Luz de; OLIVEIRA, Rosane Alves Pretto de  and  RAMOS, Maurivan Güntzel. Science and mathematics education: the function of language in the classroom context. Ens. Pesqui. Educ. Ciênc. [online]. 2017, vol.19, pp.579-596.

The paper presents an analysis of understandings of Mathematics teachers, Science and Pedagogy about the function of language in the classroom context. The research is qualitative and aims to answer: How Science, Mathematics and Pedagogical teachers, that have participated of the research, understands the function of language in the classroom? Twenty basic or higher education teachers have attended and answered a questionnaire for the constitution of data. Responses were treated by Textual Analysis of Discourse. We have concluded that the function of language is understood by the teachers as: a means of learning; means of communication and as a means of formation, which refer to the understandings considered on language available in the literature, but not in the totality of the answers. The lack of reflection and little appreciation of language in the classroom context can contribute to the teachers do not use it as a means for enhance the development of competencies.

Keywords : Language; Learning; Formation.
