    Buscando um perfil da população: quais as crenças dos professores de matemática?
    (1998) SZTAJN, Paola
    This article draws an attitude profile of the population of mathematics teachers in Rio de Janeiro. Likert scales were constructed and validated in order to situate the teachers in relation to six statements that represented traditional teaching. In a pilot sample of 100 teachers we found that they disagreed with the statements, independently of the school year they teach, their educational background and the type of school they teach (public or private). Therefore, at least at the discourse level, those who teach mathematics do not have a traditional attitude towards this science and its teaching and learning.

    Olhando teresa e pensando parâmetros
    (1997) SZTAJN, Paola
    This article adds to the discussion on curriculum initiated by the publication of Brazilian national curriculum guidelines. It does so through the case study of a third grade teacher, Teresa, who faces the challenge of implementing in her classroom the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM, 1989). Although the Standards is an American document, and despite the differences between American and Brazilian realities, understanding the difficulties Teresa had helps us think about the problems one will have when implementing the Brazilian document, and brings new questions to the debate on mathematics curriculum change
