    Aprender Matemática em grupo de estudos: uma experiência com professoras das séries iniciais
    (2008) GIMENES, Jucelene; PENTEADO, Miriam Godoy
    The aim of this paper is to consider a study group in mathematics education as an environment for supporting teacher's professional development and discussing possible ways of its implementation at school. The discussion draws on data from a group of ten primary school teachers from a São Paulo state school who wanted to study "the why(s) and wherefore(s)" of the decimal system and the four fundamental operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, which they considered a difficult content to be taught. The results show that participation in the study group contributed to a better understanding among the teachers of the following issues: mathematics is something which can be constructed; the importance of learning history of mathematics; how to use manipulative didactical material; the students' learning process; and the teaching knowledge as something to be continually constructed.
